Starting my own businesses here. Recording and mixing studio. The saying is if you want to get a million bucks working in the recording biz, start with two million.
497 a month that is a lot of money especially when you can do the majority of what he does on your own
This is crazy I grew up painting and I’ve never been a bad student at school and now I’m a waste water operator but it’s so boring. I’ve been wanting to get in the trades bc I like helping people and I want to be the best at a craft and be around leaders.
EIN FOR BUYING A CAR?
Pro union people always want the government involved. No matter how many times our own government has screwed us into poverty. Those unions should have enough intelligence and stroke in the world to make these processes easier. Yet every year mcmanus and the UA donate millions to the same political party , crippling the middle class and transferring its wealth. Look at what the UAW is today. Just a shell . I trust this advice as far as i can throw that “union book”
Need more elevator mechanics videos 💪😁
Trying, they are hard to come by right now in my area

This is what every student needs to watch before graduation.
How do we get this out to them?
@@TheTradeTalks2.0 Flyers, Pamphlets, Posters. Stuff they cannot avoid or scroll past if it's visible on campus. Visiting for Pep rallys would really help.
@TheTradeTalks2.0 I would also say send it to coaches and teachers who really want to help their students out.
All great ideas...thanks for sharing
@@TheTradeTalks2.0 Your welcome. Thank you.
I was looking to do it but not sure what the route is exactly, any help folks?
Actual information is out there if you look for it. This involves reading, not watching videos from charlatans like this who want to trick you into thinking paying them will make you rich. The overarching reality is that nobody should aspire to rely on debt to get ahead. This very concept has helped kill free market capitalism. If consumers treated debt peddlers and money changers as the traitors that they are and inflicted great bodily harm to them and everything they love, the individual would have a reasonable means of building wealth via competing with other individuals to provide the best product/service for the lowest cost to the consumer. The system has devolved to protect this evil, and the people have devolved into cowards, so your suffering will perpetuate until the system consumes itself and the entities that destroyed it will construct a new system that strengthens their oppressive potential while reducing the victims' potential to get out from under it. Give a dislike and ask youtube not to recommend this channel or any channel like this.
Guy’s that do this are much appreciated 💪
As a licensed tradesman and contractor, I think this video is pretty dishonest as it's intent. I looked up TJ Corporate Consultants and it looks like they are an authorized reseller of Fundability which is a product of Credit Suite. A lot of these resellers don't have any reviews anywhere, however Credit Suite does on the BBB website and it's pretty bad. Lots of negative reviews. As a contractor I understand dissatisfied customers are more likely to leave a negative review over a happy customer leaving a good one. However, I think this stuff should be transparent and this shouldn't be marketed as a "trade talk" this is a straight up sales pitch from a brand new company that resells another product. Tradespeople are supposed to look out for each other. I'm a little disappointed.
this was great! thanks
Glad you liked it! Are you in the trades?
33:09 for who they are. I’m gonna reach out.
Not exactly. Cool story though.
I understand his position he giving up alot if game there's no doubt more to it he is explaining things in detail more than I've seen on any platform it's not really secrets its a path that these guys found the steps haft to be learned from the ground up that he is explaining no no I wouldn't give it away either I earned my pathway now he charging you but as long as he is teaching me I consider it a win win win because I didn't know at first after he teach you you know now then in your spare time you can make it your side hustle teaching others and then you have tge option of giving it away our charging for it.
I had a successful business for two years, operating as an S corporation. Initially, everything was going well until I broke my foot. The individual I had assisting me was unable to manage even the simplest tasks without guidance, which left me feeling completely overwhelmed. This was my first venture, and I had workman's compensation coverage through a local insurance provider. Unfortunately, the representative responsible for my account failed to renew my workman's comp policy. I mistakenly believed it would automatically renew, as I was new to this process and handling everything on my own. I started this business with just $5,000 and was generating approximately $16,000 a month. However, the insurance company’s oversight regarding the workman's comp renewal severely impacted me. After my first year, I hired another employee who was somewhat competent, but finding reliable help proved to be a significant challenge. As a result of my injury, I was unable to work for a year, which led to a decline in my credit and financial stability. Now, I am in the process of rebuilding my credit, but it has been an arduous journey. I suspect my personal information has been compromised multiple times, including my Social Security number. The prevalence of scams today is alarming, making it difficult to use credit cards safely due to the risk of fraudulent devices. The situation has become increasingly dire, and I find it hard to comprehend the issues surrounding credit card companies. Despite paying off my debts, it seems that I continue to face obstacles.
The impression I was left with after that experience was that the system intended for the average individual is quite concerning. Financial institutions and credit card companies are not allies. I am convinced that their business practices are intentionally structured to create adverse effects for those facing unexpected difficulties. As the saying goes, it requires capital to generate capital.
Trash content
how?
This was awesome! I’m not even in the trades, I’m looking to start an accounting firm serving the trades and stumbled upon this in an effort to know my customer better, and it kept me all the way to the end and am curious to listen to more. KEEP UP THROUGH GOOD WORK!
Total bs nonsense. Ignore these clowns
What is nonsense? Do you have corporate credit?
Don’t come to Florida and do a trade unless you’re fine with 15hr. It’s a joke and so are the trades. Lack of respect is normal. Breathing concrete dust and cigarette smoke is a normal day in 105 degree weather. Not worth it
Florida is an interesting place...
Can i split a acre off the land i already have and rezoning it commercial , taxes will go up , but it will have it's own address .. Building my shop on it , then sell the whole shenagin for what the whole farms worth , but i can keep the farm ..
Thank You!
You're welcome!
How much is this service?
Very informative and concise-thanks...
Hey @TradeTalksPodcast, you should definitely get in touch with Stark, the former owner of Stark Services. He sold that business and now runs Sunny Services. I’d love to hear his story and how he found success in the HVAC industry
Where is he located?
@ here in Texas DFW area, sunny service is in hurst
Yeah, but how are they going to know you pay back your loans if they don’t look at your personal credit?
Since we're listed as a corporation are we able to use our name as a company with the EIN number
I'm also a business person you cannot use your Ain to buy a car you could you could use it not to pay taxes but they absolutely want your social security number because you are known by your social security number not your business not your name so but he's saying is not true. It's not the banks don't know about it or dealerships yes they do dealerships have you fill out a form for the bank and that's what the bank requires your social security number why do you think we have one if it was that easy no matter what you open up you need your social security number this is all bogus
How do I fix my credit?
Great advice. Thank you😊
It’s EIN or PIN. NOT EIN NUMBER OR PIN NUMBER. employer identification number number?? Cmon ppl it’s 2024! Pet peeve to say the least but I’m right. And once you say it out loud you can’t un-hear it. Personal identification number number? 🤦🏻♂️ This has been a PSA Announcement lmao!! 🤣
This is the slow process. Pay 2000 have the biz credit enhanced and you're good to go no pg
Just discovered this Channel less than 30 seconds ago. I found my home. I love this stuff.
That's awesome!!
Is there some chance for a immigrant to have his visa sponsored for a apprenticeship?

He mentioned his website.....TJ Corporate Credit
33:09
🤣😂😂😂😂😂..... EIN information is all over the net, but I can't fault one for trying to get paid.. These guys nor anyone can stop the power of knowledge. So glad I can read and learn on my own without guidance.. lmao
How's that administrative process coming along?
Slow good brother, the wheels turn slowly@@davidcooper5618
It's not gate keeping.... You're still operating in the Public.
Look up your business credit on NAV get the full view, bad business credit only last 2 years, personal 7 years
Lowes, Amazon corporate line of credit, Leasing apartments and townhomes for corporate applicants, leasing electric vehicle.
Easy
Search for labeled as corporations I were able to use your name as a business what the EIN number
@@mrios8453 what?
@@StevensFamilyReactswhat does this all mean, Y.R.H. (😉) ? Like, easy, as in : these are the things to do to to be able to register a corporation?
been doing this since 2011... Credit Suite, Ray Reynolds, Marco Carbajo... building those trades and attacking
I just got a job as a technician for a big company. And I got hired because I know the manager. I’m getting trained to do the job. One thing for sure is I don’t know how to fix things but I’m hungry to learn electrical work and plumbing . Thank you for the podcast and episode.
I've learned nothing, thank you for wasting my time. Good job and gold star 🤡
Why don't these people just say up front what they charge? Is is some big fkn secret? I feel like they're going to take 10 minutes to evaluate what I'm worth and then quote me accordingly.... very sketchy...
Check out Marvin Francois. He is here to help and never gatekeeps useful info
Don’t. Waste your time he is not dropping anything at all except a plug to his company so they can scam you
What a terrible attitude! He gave several actionable tips. Anyone smart enough to grow a business knows you need others guidance and expertise. Everyone's time is valuable, that's not a scam.
Thanks😂
Fuuuuuck credit, it's literally NOTHING OF VALUE! You're a pawn, creating wealth for others. Credit score is socialism.
But where are the hacks? I don't think you guys talked about how to do the actual hacks!
I can't hate on them but they won't tell all because then they won't be able to sell you on it
This is great news to hear. Now I have additional credit source to pull from without a pg. This is going to build wealth.
