I've been a member of this forum for 3 years now. I've accomplished a bit in that time, I've started a thread or two over that time on other progress threads.
I've taught myself to code, I've taught myself how to sell, etc...This will most likely be my final progress thread on this forum. I will keep it up to date and treat it like a diary of sorts.
I'm 21 years old, I have some funds saved up. I'm launching a service based business locally.
I've tried the online thing, and I've made thousands throughout the years but nothing life changing. I also have my real estate license and have done inside and outside sales. I also helped a lawn company launch during high school and did really well in that (Two man operation, averaged about $60 an hour after expenses). Was very hard work.
I'm going to start a local based business in the home painting/home renovation industry. I've already bought quiet a bit of supplies for painting and I've been working on the skills to go all out in this.
I have a great connection in this industry of a man who has made over 3-4 million in this industry that has retired. I know plenty of real estate agents with clients who will need their homes painted/renovated.
I'm basically going to start out as a contractor and hoping to hire someone in a month or two once things get going. I will document my journey on jobs with pictures included, and how I get clients, workers, payroll, etc.
Lots of people can't do a service but not sell, and some can sell but not do a service. The key in starting a local based business is having both these skills.
I am just starting this venture this past week and have done a small dog room renovation for free (painted the walls, trim, floor and restored the door).
I've also just finished a small bathroom, painted the walls, trim, cabinets, door, and installed a new tile floor and did some caulking, I averaged around $30 an hour for this job.
Enough of me rambling, post coming soon on whats next. This thread will be pretty fast paced as I'm putting in all my time into this, funds are saved so no need for a job at this time as long as I get this going. No time to slack.
