Hi Andy, I am having trouble gaining access to the adwords course. If at all possible, could you please DM me so we can clear this up? Thanks.

Thanks for the insights. Working for yourself must be an awesome feeling. I'm striving to get there... Congrats on your successes.

Thanks for the advice, seems like a good place to start.

Thanks, it is certainly nerve-wracking not having an income but I believe is just part of the process.

MJ just referred me to this article. Amazing read and hugely inspiring. Exactly what I needed to read right now. Thank you!

Thank you for responding, and I will definitely check that post out. It surely was not a dream job for me but many in my field would consider it just that. It was a slowlane job, not necessarily terrible but I think I have just had enough of making big companies money and living paycheck to...

That was one of the most relatable things that I've ever read.

It is not exactly unique but it has a definite niche and it can be scaled. The business is auto glass replacement (think Safelite Auto Glass). It is a mobile business and it has about 60 commercial customers (collision repair and auto repair) and many other retail customers (your average Joe...

Hey everyone, So I just quit a highly coveted job in my field... The pay is $38/hr at full rate and a full pension after 30 years. Sounds like a pretty good gig right? The problem with that is, about $80k/year isn't Ferrari money and I am not willing to give away 30 years of my life for...

I am big into fitness, particularly powerlifting, and a huge breakthrough point for me was hormone manipulation via food. It is relevant for both men and women and I think it is going to be a huge trend as people are becoming more nutrition literate... Just my opinion.

Hi everyone, My name is Ron and I am in the automotive business. I am a constant procrastinator, a drunken wastrel and a ne'er do well. Although I say that jokingly, a lot of truth is said in jest. I am fairly successful compared to the many slow-laners around me but in the grand scheme...

I am part owner of a non-profit powerlifting gym. Seems to me that all of our members who are personal trainers are going back to their day jobs for lack of clientele. Looks like your idea can definitely satisfy that need. Good luck.

I appreciate all of the responses and feedback. I am leaning towards a bank loan because it may be the easiest way for me to get my hands on capital. I plan on using this business model as a stepping stone into financial independence. The replies that I have gotten have been very helpful, thanks...

Over the past couple of years I have become comfortable working my job day in and day out. Something snapped and now I realized again that I cannot work for somebody. I am an auto technician and have decided to buy an established auto repair shop. I understand that this isn't exactly fast lane...

The thread lives on! Very exciting to see.

The input has been awesome everybody. I love the different perspectives, thanks for that. I'm going to meet with my partners and see if this is something they want to do. @Bigguns50: you kind of hit on it... the need for another gym really isn't there. Very interesting info on this thread...

Thanks ZCP and codo3500 for the responses. You are right it is definitely not scalable but I'm just hoping to make enough money to quit my job and free up more time. I think that it might be possible. I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth it or not. Thanks again.

Yes, I have a program (possibly in an ebook format) that I was going to sell to compliment the gym. I was thinking: create some revenue at the gym, create a video series/blog and then market my program. Thanks for the reply.

Hi all, I am one of three part "owners" of a powerlifting gym. The idea was to be able to rent a place and eventually get enough members where we could work out for free. Although we do have some members, it hasn't really materialized into anything. We do not market the brand at all. (I...

ICK, this thread is ridiculous. Thank you for the value that you have provided and for attracting the more experienced members to this thread. Since reading this thread in its entirety I have come up with two new business ideas as a direct result of being mindful and looking for pain points. Now...
