    Flips, Real Estate, & Landscaping... You gotta Johnny Hustle baby!!

    HOT! EXECUTION REAL ESTATE 
    Rough week at the end... had 2 contractors fall thru, one employee took Thursday and Friday off (which I knew about Friday, but not Thursday) After this week I realize that the next employee we need to hire on is a materials runner. Basically, it is a guy who drives a truck around to the jobs...

    Starting (and Fastlaning) a lawn care service business

    GOLD! HOT! 
    We’ve got a ton of South/Central Americans crossing our border here in the US. They work harder than anyone Ive ever met… except us Polish & Germans! I get what you mean. Europeans like the French, Italians, Spanish, are inherently not hard works in the ways we are in the US. With the changing...

    Starting (and Fastlaning) a lawn care service business

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I've been telling my friends that the upcoming two biggest value skews for my generation Z is effort and hard work. By hard work, I mostly mean physical labor and pulling up your big boy pants to do the work. I know almost no one of my age that does what I do. This is an attempt to be arrogant...

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Same thing with contractors. Called a guy to paint the interior on one of my flips and explained I want it sprayed not rolled because it is faster. He said, "Seems like you got it all figured out. Why don't you just do it yourself?" Because Im too F*cking busy and need you to do it otherwise...

    My FTE -- it's about time

    MINDSET FTE 
    You have life experiences that barely anyone has. I can think of around 5-10 businesses you can start based on moving so much. There is definitely a mindset that you need to have to be able to do that as much as you have.

    YOUNG Entrepreneurs: Start an eBay store to learn business

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    There are plenty of opportunities for young kids to learn however. This is not about trying to make the highest ROI ASAP. But shit if you want to talk about brutal, try selling vintage baseball cards. These people will haggle you to the last penny so they can flip them at their shops or friends...

    YOUNG Entrepreneurs: Start an eBay store to learn business

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I see a lot of young entrepreneurs (15-20) on this forum saying they do not know what to do or how to get started. They then fall into the trap of buying some guy's course on selling website design, SEO, coding, etc. etc. and end up not doing anything with it. A proven way to actually start to...

    Just a note that the $10k project it took me 3 visits to the guys house to figure out the project that he was willing to do. He wanted to block his neighbor's view of his house. I laid out a plan with the quote, but he "only" has $10k to spend on landscaping this year. So we worked through it...

    Advice me on my Fastlane journey

    INTRO 
    I would not say "slower" speeds. Still go fast if you have an idea or hustle to make money. If that means staying up till midnight working on your new business to get it out into the world, so be it. What I meant is if you have bills and family to take care of, get a job to support yourself...

    It sounds like you're opposed to getting a job, I get it. You had bad past experiences in your realm of work and now you feel a change needs to occur. It seems like entrepreneurship is what you're looking to do. Let me ask you this, is your pride and ideas about who you "should" be more...

    That's very interesting. From my perspective, in my area there are WAY too many people cutting grass at cheap a$$ prices. However, could there be a skew for having the systems you created for your business... I think so. The fertilizing industry seems so large around me because there are only...

    How are you making money? Where is your income coming from? Can you speed it up or find another avenue? Need to learn how to look at a business and see yourself running it. Go to Starbucks or other businesses, look at the layout, the register locations, who is serving the drinks, how do they...

    It has been a while since I posted anything. Following the clean up for the clients, we are almost done! 2-3 more days of hauling away steal, throwing garbage in the dumpster, and taking things to be listed on eBay. I spent about $2k on 30 yard dumpsters, we needed 4 of them and each of $500...
