My brother does the same work at 24. However think outside the box and set yourself up for reccession proof. My brother does all this but does sewer repairs which regardless of the economy has to be done. New builds and tear down can hold off in a slowed economy.
😂 this kid went from building fences to running a multimillion dollar excavation business doing government contracting while completing a computer science degree and he is only 19. He bought his first excavator without a plan and everything fell into place so much that he was able to support a payroll right away.
Im in the same industry (almost 40 years now) and pull in similar revenues with only 4 other employees, but the real question is, what do you get to keep in the end? In other words, how much do you net after all the bills are paid? Trust me folks, its not as much as you might think. I love this kind of work, but the key to success is building a great reputation so you’ll stay busy through the years. Construction work such as this cycles just as the housing market does. As such, you will experience slow times in most markets from time to time. Being able to weather those is what really will separate you from your competitors over time because many will go out of business in those slow times. This is a hard business to be successful in but if your work ethic is above average and you stay hands on, you can be successful. Hands off and leave it up to your employees to run jobs for you and you’ll not last long in most cases.
A contractor that simply shows up is far and away ahead of all the others. The simple act of just showing up. So simple yet so few contractors can comprehend this.
This guy is a legend in the Pacific northwest. He also paid for his 3 grandkids to go to college where they graduated with honors. Next week they are adding his face to mount rushmore
What a great story of this young entrepreneur and business owner.! He’s doing a fantastic job.! Working and being an equipment operator is so cool and interesting.! Keep up the great work sir! 😎🤘🏽
How did he learn the ins and outs of excavation, proper footing drains, construction engineering etc. Im experienced with working with contractors who have totally screwed up projects because of lack of knowledge and experience. Just curious how he learned so quickly.
A podcast is needed for this incredible story. Like all humans we are skeptical when such great stories are heard. I’m not trying to doubt him but if he can tell us his story as in what day and how he started his very first fence job. Tell us from the very start to currently. This will help greatly and would be very informative for those few people who have ethic but need guidance. I’m about to turn 22 and I work as a hvac residential technician. I have ethic but need guidance/advice to start my own business. If he can share his very first experiences to current ones in a podcast episode that would be great.
Man, his business is bringing him huge profits, even without a marketing team. Do you have a project management tool you are using to easily track your projects?
What an inspiring story! This young entrepreneur's journey showcases the power of determination and seizing opportunities. His success highlights the importance of identifying niche markets and leveraging passion into a thriving business. 🔥
So much hate in comments.. Bruh, kid spent his time putting two and two together, working contacts, and figurihg out how to get ahead, stay ahead and set himself up for life even after failing some.. Instead of compling, life hard, giv me moniez.. and shoplifting, stealing cars.. or wasting his time on trival games and platforms.
I have no experience with machines but I really wanted to learn how to work with machines and do excavation. I have a driver's license and I live in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Great job buddy. Cat in my experience has been the easiest to work with. Got my first excavator from them just paid it off. Hopefully on my way to make some money.
First congratulations on your sucess! Would love to talk to you to learn more about this business, i love the idea and I have a CDL, I live in the Southeast region closed to FL. Was wondering what other licenses are needed to get into this type of business to drive the excavator and to connect the sewer lines? Construction is killing down here....
This was a great story, and I'm positive he's a great biz owner/worker... but man, he basically answered EVERY question as vague as possible that could potentially help a new person get started 😅 just like the good Lord's book 😂
Not bad but honestly Im tired of the same of the type of industries. I like to see creative field please. I like to see ecommerce , product design, digital products.
Im guessing mom is running the office. Dad might be onsite. Maybe other family/church members are involved. Some nationalities have move involvement with their own. Revenue is not profit. Im guessing he is 24/25.
When are you going to feature more females? As an aspiring female entrepreneur I need more inspiration!! Please feature more women entrepreneurs already!
Women don't have the same natural inclination to achieve things and earn money that men have. We are not the same. Men HAVE to do these things in order to gain value in society and be respected. Women however don't. You're more likely to find Onlyfans girls than actual female entrepreneurs. Women are inherently lazy when it comes to resource gathering. The reason being they have beauty to give them status, and men to take care of them. Keep that in mind when you go into business as a woman. You're not likely to find many peers
And in 2018 i finished my apprenticeship as metalworker i Suppose its the correct Translation in april may 2019 make a welding certificate but still can't found a job😢
Keep pushing forward and exploring all possible avenues. Sometimes, networking or taking on freelance projects can open up new opportunities. Best of luck in your job search! 🙏
was about to say the same thing I have 3 years of credit 720 score and i had to fight for a 15k loan. and doing college at the same time? give me a break there's no way this guys self made in any sense.
@@PermanentHigh Yes but as a 18yr old with small savings at most how was he eligible to borrow 200-300K for the machines with 0% interest? If know company can check it out if it makes sense
@@ILoveUA-cam-t6y interesting so they take no collatoral? And just look at credit score and give a Installment plan basically to pay for machinery which is like a car lease so the video then gives wrong idea since u don't get cash to hand it's just a lease on the machines but 0% interest is the amazing part can any average Joe get it?
I call bullshit. I’m 41 and own a grading company and at 18 no one is giving you credit for a car let alone equipment. This kids family or inheritance is deeply involved with his success. The host of this video should feel like a clown. Kids are going to watch this thinking it’s possible and feel like shit when they realize it’s not. Unless your family has deep pockets.
Had to unsubscribe. Sick of the click bait titles and interviews of people with rich parents and investors who pretend like they’re self made. Total joke, and not one of them will pony up to the fact. I’m over it.
@@andreypostolnikov8280 Yeah okay dude. Tell me where a 19 year old gets the startup capital and CREDIT especially to purchase an EXCAVATOR? Whatever you say dude, some of us aren't braindead here. It's called help from mommy and daddy.
@@andreypostolnikov8280 I think from now on people should start pulling bank stubs and IRS statement otherwise Im calling BS lol. Only way I could see him making it work if he leased the equipment somehow

This is the best excavation company in Seattle, not everyone believes in the success of younger people. Stan has done it and so can you.
It may be hard to grasp, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Congratulations to our young entrepreneurs!
It’s been a struggle starting my welding business being 20
Believe it or not he is 19. He’s worked day and night building this business.
Loool, he look 30
maybe he did it for 19 years im 20 and he looks like my dad
He looks like how 19 year old men should. Now 19 year olds look like 14 year old boys.
If he’s 19 I’m 30 lmao, buddy is 3 years younger but looks 10 years older. But salute to his success, wish him more 🔥
We believe that it was never about age or looks, but rather about capability and dedication. 😄
@@UpFlip How? If he began attending college in 2020, shouldn't he be about 22?
@@jonathan248I finished colleg3 at 19. Not everyone follows the same path of traditional school
@@kevins5268 That's possible. The issue is that these factors of doubt add up. He looks older than 19 and would've graduated college quite early.

Your vids continue to inspire. Love to see each new story Here's to the doers!
I love the name GENESIS. Says a lot about your company in just the name its self. Keep up the hustle. 🙏🙏🙏
Questions: how did you get your G.C. license? How did you get your plumbing license to install plumbing pipes? It does not add up...
Its really not that hard....as long as you have the money to pay for the permit, you're able to "license" yourself to do these things lol.
You don’t need a plumbing license for underground sewer work 😂do your homework
You dont need licenses in many places
In some cases, these outfits look to hire someone with the required license for a given task. As long as someone on site has it, it’s good to go.
This guy is incredible 2 degrees and a 5 million dollar business at 19 🤨
Incredible content. Upflip is such a valuable channel.
We're proud of you Stan!! 👍

Smart beyond his years! 💪
This guy motivating me to do this in barbados cause we have lots of old houses that need to be demolished
Really an inspiration this guy is superb 👏
Totally! This dude is crushing it! Makes us wanna step up my game for sure!
Man, his business is bringing him huge profits, even without a marketing team. Do you have a project management tool you are using to easily track your projects?
He never said profits. He said revenue. After expenses he is unlikely to be even breaking even.
Very cool channel. Looking forward to hearing more.
Dope vid congrats bro
Wowowowoowwo GREAT VIDEO!!!!!
Lol paul scared of the old house "lets get out of this (old) house" in his mind haha
Lol 😂
Very amazing we wish see more videos like that

Why would you pour a new foundation after razing the house, when you don’t even know what the floor plan of the new SFR is ? what am I missing?
They just copy and paste the floor plan.

This explains EVERYTHING!!!!
Seattle construction market is booming
Nice!! Keep going young man!
I'm impressed, but also curious-if this guy's making millions with demolition, what other 'niche' businesses could blow up in the next few years? 💡🔥
It's fascinating, right? Demolition might just be the tip of the iceberg.
That church parking lot is full of AMGs every Sunday
It’s like a car show every Sunday!

Excavator lovers assemble here! ❤️😁
You have to live in the right part of vounti to have that kind of work
Every area has its own unique demands, so make sure to leverage those to your advantage!
awesome
The real side hustle is talking about unrealistic side hustles exaggerating numbers and not telling the full truth.
What possible reason does a excavation company have for 8 forklifts?

Hes 19. He's my freind. Mom and dad didn't do this for him. He's just hustler
So hes 19 and been in business how long? So hes made 5 million his first year in business? So curious how that works.
Stress will make you age
That's a good point!
I can believe he’s 19, have you seen the NFL players?! They look like GROWN MEN. Just drafted 😂 What are they feeding them?!
Not all people age the same. This is reality. 😊
So at least 40% is going to trucking/clean out! Another 28% to crew cost easy... curious what he pays himself out of the business.
