    Rucking. Carrying a backpack full of heavy stuff for long distances.

    HEALTH 
    I've thought of wearing a heavy backpack while walking my dogs, for exercise. I was pretty big into road cycling for most of my life but lost interest riding in the city unless it's a utility ride. Im sure it's a good workout, but have a feeling it's pretty miserable, especially in our hot...

    Purchasing a trendy B&M business...

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I think this kind of business is going to be risky. Though there is opportunity to add additional value for bringing in customers. I don't see it being successful in the long term without updating and making progressive changes to stay relevant. The business model of a 'fun place' is...

    Site Sold On Flippa, Buyer Cold Feet 1 Month Later (Relist or Sue?)

    QUESTION 
    I sold my small FBA business on Flippa recently. I think going to the next buyer in line is a good choice if the 1st backs out. The non refundable deposit upfront is a good idea.

    100 Unsexy Business Ideas: Name as many as you can!

    GOLD! IDEA 
    I think there is one important thing being left of this discussion. You need to work in an industry for someone else before you can think about running your own business in it. There are some exceptions where the business can be learned as you go or has a super low barrier to entry. How many...

    100 Unsexy Business Ideas: Name as many as you can!

    GOLD! IDEA 
    I've been thinking about a dog poop collection business. Quite a few of them have popped up around here since my days when I was mowing lawns and added on the poop pickup for a few customers. I see the job postings looking to hire people to do this work. I kind of enjoy cleaning my backyard...

    Build it and they will come? Or Market now?

    MARKETING 
    Any updates? I have a similar concept and been researching a lot. It's nuts how expensive campsites have become.

    Proof of funds, without showing account balance?

    REAL ESTATE 
    If one were to want to make a cash offer, but did not want their account balance to be displayed, is this something a bank will do? It's easy to get the letter, but it shows your account balance. I feel like people that are in this business have a way of showing proof of funds that do not reveal...

    Starting (and Fastlaning) a lawn care service business

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Hey, if you enjoy the noise, vibration, stench, extra weight (slower manuevering a push mower) and maintainence, then that's your choice.

    Starting (and Fastlaning) a lawn care service business

    GOLD! HOT! 
    The user experience of quality battery tools is the main reason for me. Gas machines are an assault on the senses. I could cut 15 8k sq ft properties a day with 4 small 2ah and 4 large 5ah batteries. If i had a lot of overgrown new yards, maybe i would charge during lunch. The power is plenty...

    Starting (and Fastlaning) a lawn care service business

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Dude I ran my all battery powered lawn mowing business out of the back of my Prius for 2 years. It was just me and my Greenworks 80v tools. I made about $60/hr with about $800 investment. For small yards, it worked great. I did switch to a small Ranger pickup for my final year before i sold the...

    Any ideas of some physical side hustles to make extra money?

    IDEA 
    It was 3 years ago, but I used Greenworks 80v equipment, and I had a custom large battery for some of the mowing. Works great for typical city lots under 10k sq ft. Lots of newer tech out there for battery zero turns and such. I ended up getting a small truck, but it wasn't necessary for...

    Any ideas of some physical side hustles to make extra money?

    IDEA 
    If you only have a car, you can still do some jobs that normally use a truck. Mount a hitch and use a cargo rack, reinforcing the rack to the bumper so it doesn't wobble and can hold more weight. I mowed nearly full time with this setup on a Prius, using battery powered equipment, so I didn't...

    What Is So Hard About Entrepreneurship?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I was just browsing job listings in my area and came across one that I clicked on. It turns out to be a small company that bought the same piece of land I was considering buying for a business idea I had a year ago. They have been executing and I've been procrastinating. They are hiring and I am...

    What Is So Hard About Entrepreneurship?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I'm sure it's different for other people. But I will say that deciding on and committing to a pursuit is the hardest. It also could be the easiest, but not for me.

    Efficiency by The Wall Street Playboys

    WSP has said they intentionally use poor grammar and language, at least in their tweets/blog. The book was a $10 download. I think it was worth it, but they are very centered on monetary wealth gains and "getting ahead" of peers. As if it really matters if you are worth 3 million or 10 million...
