This is just a heads up. A lot of these businesses sound great, and they are. But you need heavy duty insurance every time you walk into someone's home and do anything. And that was not mentioned in the video. Most of the time you're going to be fine of course, but it only takes once for a bad job to bankrupt you. Definitely have an LLC, and commercial insurance for any of these. I'm serious. Don't skip that step thinking that you don't need it. You do.
As someone who started business several times, and failed number of times: There is NO such thing as "Simple Business" , every busuness might look simple from the idea perspective, but every idea requires dedication, comitment, customer service, problem resolutions, risk assesments, market research etc... etc... to grow into succesful business.
Been self employed for 20 years. Best way to live. Work hard. Pay your taxes. Love what you do. Work for God...help people.
I’ve always told my kids if they can find a job that people don’t want to do or don’t understand how to do and they are good at it, they will always have a good job. Hopefully it’s also something you love doing. That’s the best of all worlds.
This is LITERALLY the ONLY video that's useful with that title. Everyone else says all same things. Thank you for giving real ideas and being original and actually helpful ideas
Heres a business: a crew that cleans out a loved one's home when they pass. It's been more than 3 years, and it's still very painful for me to remove my mother's things from her house. I cant tell you how many times i wish I could just pay someone to arrange and oversee removal of everything. It really is emotionally paralyzing. I cry every time I try. It literally drains me.
I've been running a carpet and upholstery cleaning business for 20 years. I do $400-$500 a day cleaning around 5 hours a day. Overhead is around $1100 a month. Hard work but I love it!
Thank you for putting this video together. It will help so many people. I actually have made myself a business that is Crying for more people. I take care of elderly people. From mildly disabled to hospice patients. Our seniors are forgotten in this country and it is sad. Duties include granny sitting, changing diapers, bathing, dressing, cooking, cleaning and anything else that is needed. The last family paid me $5 grand a month to live with her and take care of her until she passed. Men should not overlook this opportunity because many times strength is needed to move patient or furniture, beds etc. I lost husband and home during pandemic and live in a van but if I had a vehicle to haul trash or equipment I would do many things in your video. I just bought raw land in southwest Virginia so if anybody needs help with anything hmu. Give love, share love, and let’s all help each other y’all!
Wow, I’ve been watching toms of videos on side hustle, this is the only video that deserves a applause. No bs, no click bait
The US Gov't supports an organization called "SCORE" - Service Corps of Retired Executives. There are many retired executives associated with SCORE who will mentor a new business owner and help them through the rough spots with valuable advice.
I’ve always heard there’s money in garbage. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
I knew a guy that ran a carpet cleaning business. He ended up writing a few ebooks thay he sold on Amazon, he made so much passive income from the books he sold all his carpet cleaning stuff, got a girlfriend and traveled the world. 😅
My wife has a laundry business for 15 years. She works 11 hours a day 7 days a week. She makes very good money. However, you don't pick up laundry from a restaurant, wash it and drop it off. Any business who has linen wants it VERY clean, ironed (this includes table clothes, napkins, bed sheets, etc.) folded and packed to their specifications. Pick up, washing and drop off are the easy part.
Please continue with this content. There is no one on YouTube who explains like you. You wish good for others. To start immediately
Another great business is on site lawnmower service. A local man does my mower each year, changes the oil, filter, Sharpens the blade, etc. I pay for a riding mower about $250 . With his truck and ramps it takes him less than 30 minutes and its cheaper then me taking it to a repair shot. Plus most people dont have the means to take a riding mower to the shop anyway. He is always booked months into the future... Easy for him to make $1000 - 1500 per day during the season....
In 2015 I started a mowing and poop scooping business. I had a 2009 Hyundai Accent and I'd put my equipment in the trunk with some bungee cords. Formed an LLC, got insurance, got a website, started advertising on craigslist. In 2 years time I had more work than I could handle, and in year 3 I hired a guy just to pick up poop. There is so much work available that I never felt like I had competition at all. I could have broken the poop scooping off into it's own industry easily. Make sure you have an LLC, get insurance, get a good website and use software to run things (I use service autopilot), and be willing to work. If you're scooping poop, plan out how to transport it (pickup truck) and dispose of it (permission from local farmer)
I remember when I just got into crypto back in 2019 but later in 2020 I ended up selling it because I was dumb and I didn't understand it. I studied and learned and now I know how it works. Got back into crypto early in 2024 with 10k and I'm up with 128k in a short period of time. This comment serves as motivation for all those who have invested and continue to invest in cryptocurrencies with so many losses, do not give up, cryptocurrencies can change your life. Do your best to connect with the right people and you will surely see changes.
It is truly amazing how many people simply don’t have the free time or would rather pay someone to take care of many tasks, chores, or common maintenance. I’ve lived in the country all of my life and can fix just about anything that needs fixing. I take that ‘know-how’ for granted sometimes. I just recently started a handyman business and this video gave me some great ideas about additional services that I could offer !!! Great video! And thanks for the ideas!!!
I used to clean fish tanks for $100 an hour, made even more on tanks in commercial buildings.
