#79 - Harvey Doney | From Flippin' Burgers to Building a Successful Business (at just 19 years of age)

At just 19 years of age, Harvey Doney is redefining what’s possible at a young age.

Harvey is the founder of Xclusive Cleaning, a thriving window and solar panel cleaning business based in Adelaide. 

But his story is far from typical. 

While most young people follow the conventional path of study and employment.

Harvey chose to,

- Head to Bunnings,

- Buy some cleaning equipment,

- And go knocking on doors. ..

After 5 hours of knocking on doors facing rejection after rejection, Harvey finally broke through with his first sale. 

It was the most satisfying $70 he ever earned! 

In our conversation we dive deep into his journey.

From his first entrepreneurial hustle collecting golf balls at age 13, to flipping burgers at Hungry Jacks for $9.90 an hour, and finally, to making $2,000 days running his own window cleaning business. 

Harvey shares:

🔥 How exposure to successful people changed his mindset🔥 The power of taking action—even when it's uncomfortable

🔥 Lessons from fast-food systems that helped him scale his business

🔥 The reality of rejection and resilience in sales

🔥 His mission to retire his parents by 2030

🔥 Why young people need to put down their phones and take control of their future

Harvey’s story is proof that success isn’t about age—it’s about mindset, action, and learning from experience. 

Whether you’re a young person wondering what’s next, a parent looking for inspiration for your kids, or an aspiring entrepreneur, this episode is packed with gold.
