    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    What recourse if any does an overseas importer have if the supplier doesn't deliver? Best way to ensure it doesn't happen? Other than checking out the company first of course.

    I have a question about Chinese culture with regards to dealing with suppliers. I have placed my second order with a known company in China. The first order last year was delivered to me and the product was as requested. It is a known company in the industry, not a no-name with no reputation. I...

    Until last night, I had both FBA and FBM as options for my buyers. 99.8% of the time they chose FBA, even with the slower ship times on FBA. It seems buyers just hit 'buy it now' or 'add to cart' and don't even look at the other offers, even though the price is lower. There are still orders...

    I bought a Creality Ender 3 for $170 last fall to make a small part that I had spent way too long trying to find. So I designed it in Sketchup and printed them. I'm impressed with the tech and quality of the ender3 for such an affordable price. I wish I had more ideas of things worth building.

    Ebike concept

    There are a LOT of ebike brands out there. Lots of conversion kits too. I liked converting my own bikes, did many versions a while ago. I've thought of starting my own. Worked for a few, talked with many.
