    New Concept in Lawn Care Start Up. Need Advice!

    My advice? Don't do it. I have a small yard and cheap lawn care service is $120/month. That only covers mowing, weed eating, edging, and blowing. If I want my bushes trimmed then it's closer to $140-$150/month. If I want weed control, it's even more. I understand what you're doing, charging...

    How much money did you use to start your business?

    HOT! 
    I bought out a failing business in my industry for $62,000 and invested an additional $20,000 into it. I wanted to start with something rather than nothing, but I also was sitting on some cash.

    All Weather for % of Net Worth

    INVESTING 
    At that point I would be looking for passive income that isn't dependent on the market. Buying properties to rent them out long term and giving them to a management company to manage the tenants is pretty passive. The problem is, the less that I put down, the less cashflow I get and I have to...

    Anyone up to make me a shopify website?

    I think it's a smart direction to focus all your time and attention on what you want to do in your company, and sub contract out everything you don't want to do regardless of how easy it may be. Besides, having someone that is very experienced and has gone through the learning curve of making...

    My current business is heavily involved in the real estate industry. Buying houses in cash will probably be my direction.

    All Weather for % of Net Worth

    INVESTING 
    90% of my net worth is my business. I save 10% of everything I make from it and end up investing it all back into my business. Why? Because the returns are much higher than investing it into anything else. When the business is worth a nice 7-figure sum, I'll sell and invest that money into a...

    Online vs Offline Business

    HOT! 
    There is no way your profit will be $45 per room unless you're cleaning them yourself, getting gas for free, fixing your cleaning vans for free, and etc. Always start from the get go including everything into your calculations. If you average $50 per room and want to profit $200k, you need to...

    [Progress] Replacing My Income With Adwords Freelancing.

    EXECUTION 
    I think you make a really good point. You have the experience and knowledge so you should be charging premium prices and looking for the big clients. You have a lot of value you can add. If someone is new though and doesn't have real experience or a track record, they shouldn't be charging the...

    [Progress] Replacing My Income With Adwords Freelancing.

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah there are a wide range of clients, but I figured as a beginner you wouldn't be trying big complex accounts and go for smaller companies that aren't as complex. A lot of the companies that reach out to me are typically $500 and under for managing the ads. Shoot I had one company offer to...

    [Progress] Replacing My Income With Adwords Freelancing.

    EXECUTION 
    A year ago I hired someone to manage my google adwords for $500/month and about a month in realized he was pretty new to the game and terminated services with him shortly after. He was putting in the time and delivering some results, but not the results I was expecting for the price. I ran my...

    Dressing For Success... Stop looking like a fool.

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    You can tell people know what they're talking about by reading the feedback they give and seeing how the community responds. I am very big on dressing to impress and have indulged semi-heavily in the fashion industry. I think it's some great advice he is giving and he doesn't necessarily need...

    I am all for entrepreneurship, but she's 14... Let her enjoy her teenage years and be a kid, then when she's older and closing in on being an adult, see what interests her and support those dreams. Not everyone is meant to be an entrepreneur. Definitely introduce her to the topic, but if it...
