Guaranteed daddy is in a related field and “coached” him all the way. I don’t buy these stories where a kid does it all on their own. No kid does, there is always support and free help along the way, because people want to encourage the kid.
John Doe - Wrong, just speaking facts here doofus. You obviously have never been a business owner. There are plenty of things in growing a business that a kid just cannot do on their own. Especially one involving heavy equipment, insurance, employees, and legal details.
Mr. Butterworth I’d have to disagree with you. You’re right that it’s most likely exactly with most of these cases, but there are such anomalies. Especially when kids nowadays all have devices where they look up and learn just about everything ever
@John Doe Except the part where he has been in business for 9 years. Meaning he started when he was 9. Big ups to him, most would squander the opportunity. But it is definitely a rare opportunity and not something everyone has access too.
@John Doe Lol no one is making excuses here. But to not recognize it was him taking advantage of an existing opportunity, not creating opportunity from nothing, would be disingenuous.
Stan, please keep making these videos. They are so inspiring for many people. I am 16, this is my 4th year. I hope this inspires many people to get off the couch and work! God Bless!
He probably helped out with his dad. That’s where he learned and gained valuable experience to be successful. He saved up all his money he got. Keep up the good work.
Man i work for currently did this, He already had his plumbing master license so the first half of difficulties was done. he left and i did to, been with him since the first day, he has taught me how to be an excellent plumber, how to be thorough, and im still with him to this day. He has always put me first and now we have a well established company and the phone never stops ringing. this country is amazing, and it owes you nothing. so just try and keep going.
Started in fourth grade with a junk mower and a push broom. Now I'm 15 with 4 scags, truck, trailer, and atv snow plow setup. Great videos keep up the good content.
I am Cuba live in Havana, Cuba, 61 years old. Very motivating story for me. I am freelancer since 2003 touristic-oriented since 2009 as Tourist Guide but before I am experienced professional in many branches. In 2017 I was trying to start a construction business in my country but it´s true the regime is oriented to non-permitting private iniciatives and still stands as obstacle. For today I keep on staying freelancing... who knows. Best regards Walter
Keep going Walter you are doing great. 👏 Your country is beautiful, wish you well. Hopefully the government there continues to relax restrictions on private business.
Man, when my brother and I started our "yard work" business at 12 and 13 years old, we thought that $300-$500 or so per year was awesome money. We were rolling in the dough at $3 an hour for a couple of years there!
Great video. I've been in bussiness 12 years now. My son is 16. He comes to work with me in the summer. He is eager to help and take the business over. I teach him all the mistakes I have made throughout the years and all the good decisions I have made as well. I hope he will do as well as this kid has done. I am making my son earn the buss. You are right it is hard hearing it's your dad's company. So my customers are starting to see him out at an early age. Great job kid! Keep up the good work!
Awesome story. At 36 with bad back problems from 20+ years working in a factory making a rich man richer while barely making enough to get by, I wish I made better choices.
Not too late at 36 mate I'm 32 and have only been into the entrepreneurial mindset since the age of 30. Now I have full belief in myself that I will be a multi millionaire by the age of 40. All day everyday when you are not having to concentrate much just think think think ideas, opportunities, shortages,demand and once you have a idea take a risk and go for it, no procrastinating just go
It's not possible if your folks "require you" to go to college. It's just not. If you're one born into a family of contractors....today...that's a blessing...by far a better income and life style.
Good for him I’m sure his folks helped out of course that’s ok . He’s a go getter go kid go ! I’ve been working since 13 and when I graduated high school i had $100k bought my first home when I was 18 lived there for 6 months painted it and fixed couple things and sold it for double what I paid and I was hooked after that I lived it breathed it hustled it like crazy . And this kid is doing all that. You too can do it to just gotta dedicate and stop making excuses go get it done whatever it is no excuse or I’ll do it tomorrow no do it in that moment you thought about getter done !! Congrats kid wish more kids were like that our youth is in sand shape today !
somthing i would like to see is not just how they got started but how they learned some of the things like how to properly bid jobs or properly lay a path?
Its just a progression, step by step, he knows what it took to lets say mow an acre. Cost of labor, fuel, travel etc.. add 15-30% for profit thats the price. As the tasks get bigger so does the cost .. really simple. Just need to put the work in and you will win some n lose sum but when you lose one you learn why and know better for the next job.
Man, some people hit it big! I’ve been trying to grow my business for 3 years and it just isn’t happening for me. I get a good contract every now and then but it’s not stable at all. I’m in the floor covering demo and installation business
My son's in 3rd grade just got his first job. Walking my aunt's dog once a day for 10 minutes. I go with him. Makes $25 a week plus $10 allowance. He got 100 oz of silver and $600 saved. Trying to teach him how to save because if same was done for me since same age, things would be different for me right now.
Dennis Syrovoy... I didn't see your comment when I responded.... First off... it's "you're a dumbass" 2nd $1,500 for a 4th grader is a lot of money. Considering it's illegal to work at that age everything he had was given to him.
hard work and determination,thats how I did it.No sitting around when I was younger,my old man forced us to work,im glad he did.I went to trade school,got a ticket,worked UNION and NON UNION.Invested in heavy equipment and now am phasing out corporations and working for myself.GET A TRADE,ANY TRADE,then branch out,and do what you want later in life.KEEP YOUR DEBTS IN CHECK!!!!!!!!!
Very inspiring young man. I have older brothers and in saying that because of them I was able to do snow removal every single year since 5 years old. This is not far fetched, it's a young man that is a thinker and not a follower. P.S yes I'm still in buisness too and I'm 27. Dont underestimate the human mind, if you truly want something you will make it happen. Another great video stan, thanks
I just wanted to share something as I'm seeking a little guidance. I've recently decided that I wanted to take the first step to achieving my goal of becoming an owner of what I hope one day will be a successful business. I've started out purely detailing cars (what my channel is dedicated to) but soon I want to branch out and incorporate marketing and advertising to aid people in selling their cars boats and/or motorbikes, essentially igniting the vehicle market scene by bringing together a combination of many media methods with exceptional detailing to increase the chances of a successful sale. Only thing is I'm finding it difficult to get amongst like minded people that can assist and provide some information and knowledge face to face with getting a business off the ground. Basically what I'm wanting is some educated opinions of my business idea. Is it best to look for an experienced person or asking my potential target audience? Sorry about the large comment. Anyway this video is very inspiring and it's so good to hear from successful people and how they got started!
I'm from south Africa i started at 14 with no parents was n millionair at 26 no bullshit its just hard work and if there is fear its sometimes good to have that fear drives u to success
And to think I know people who are so incompetent, they can't comprehend the simplest and most common sense problems you come across in life. This man is truly impressive.
your either ignorant or stupid to not see the good he is doing. You sound like all the other trump haters that just repeat what all the other libtards are saying
"You just bought a skid steer for $62,000+?" "Yeah, *we* bought..." Exactly. Hats off to him, no doubt, but he was clearly a high schooler with old money backing him up. I can't even imagine a bank giving him a loan for that much at such an age, unless again he had help from parents.
Alot of business owners say we.. without the help of the guy he mentioned thats putting in all the hours he does he knows he wouldn't be where he is. Not having bills and making cash as a kid he probably kicked back 100k before he was 16. If he started at 9. that plenty to buy a truck in cash and all his equipment in cash. scale up from 2 men to 5 and he's where he is now 500k a year probably keeping 150-200k of that for him and the business ... definitely paid cash for that new skid steer.
I had to come back and grab a couple of these videos to send one of my best friends that his son is mowing grass and I know this will help him start his business if that's what he decides to do I told him last night to get on this channel man and you can learn a lot 👊🏼👊🏼
@@Dirtmonkey big big welcome brother I love to help people if any way possible can't wait to hear back from my friend to see what he thinks about your videos I will definitely let you know I hope he dropped some comments as well👍👍👊👊✊✊
It's encouraging to see that there are still young people who don't expect things to be handed to them. Great to see some people still have "the old fashion work ethic" 👍👍👍👍
Awesome video man! Im getting my chemical applicator license and adding overseeding, aerating etc to my list of services next year and it's always nice to see someone with drive have the results they deserve. Thanks again for posting this video!
Great work, man. Keep it up! And all of these fellas saying stuff about how it's good to see someone like him out of this "lazy" younger generation is out of touch. I guaran-damn-tee most kids nowadays work harder than y'all did back in the day, and now.
I’m 15 and all of my friends are dang near useless where was me and one friend that actually wants to make money are going to start a lawn and landscaping company next summer and have already handed out flyers for our snow removal company
I'm 21 and bought my first house a while back. Became a tower climber and worked my way up quickly to help afford it. The construction crews we work along side always laugh at a woman running up the tower.
Hey man good for you, I'm just in awe watching this. For me its so cool to see this because I have literally the same story for me. I'm 23, been doing lawn care and landscaping for 11 years, 5 of those latest years now officially on the book working for myself. Like you its my own business I started from nothing, and like you not with "Daddy's Money" I know just as much as you the everyday struggles from day one the long days and nights and all the behind the scenes work. With our young generation falling to the "give me everything and don't want to work" crap, its awesome to see more of these real stories out there! Again congratulations kid, you got a great thing going on and have a lot to be proud of. - Josh Scott - Scott's Lawn Service, LLC - New Holstein, WI .
Very inspirational young man. My question is how do you learn how to do these type of jobs? Going from cutting grass to these other projects shown in video such as, retaining walls, stone work, etc.
Well when you mow a lawn as a kid no one will be asking you for insurance or company documents they wont be sending you a 1099 because you mowed the lawn
Damn, I can't wait till (if) I get there! Right now I am at the step of needing a truck... any advise for me on a truck? I have a leaf loader for the fall, so it would be best if I got a dump truck, but idk. I'm trying to budget around $6,000, which I know isn't a lot. I'm 14. Thanks!
"...bought a cheap $800 riding mower in 4th grade..." Where tf do you get that kind of money at that age?? But ya know what's more important is that he did something with it and made that investment increase...which was probably due to him be raised right. Good on him and good on his family. I wish everybody in this world had that kind if life. Sad thing is, so many people are crushed before they get a chance to get anywhere. Then they get crushed over and over. The mental anguish is what truly cripples people. I hope he uses his position to help others see value in themselves.
I respect these kids parents for exposing him to the real in fucking 4th grade. Damn! At 4th grade I was wondering what computer game I was gonna play when I got home
So I'm a 14 year old in Texas and are area has an abundance of cedar trees that need to be removed in rural areas. I am pretty good with the skidsteer and already have some one that could loan me the money to purchase one. My only problem is I can't drive yet to a job/ haul equipment. What is the best way to get around this ?I'm still 2 years away from a drivers liscense.
Texanminecrafter29 what I'm about to say has nothing to do with you being able to drive. Have you considered processing and selling the cedar into post or other lumber? Fence companies and some homemade furniture makers pay a pretty penny for some cedar. Cedar is naturally resistant to decay which makes it suitable for post or building H post.
Hire someone to drive for you, someone who you can work well with. Also, get a chipper for the stuff that's too small to be turned into posts, sell the chips for landscaping mulch, you'll find yourself in three different businesses, maybe four (1-land clearing, 2-post sales, 3-mulch sales, 4-transportation). Since you posted a year ago, you wouldn't be doing too bad for a 15 year old.
The state of Florida requires all landscaping businesses that reshape, grade and drainage to have 6 years experience. Was this kid working since he was 12? Or is it different where he's from?
+Jonathan Goldsmith I've been extremely busy ever since I got on there. I don't pay for leads as I don't really have the time to be calling people "that's more for contractors that have to bid on jobs" so instead I just pay a small fee to be on all their sites so people can find me when they are searching then they call me . And people can still give u ratings on ur profile which helps a lot
I'm not even sure if I can open a bank account in both of my kids names. I'm not sure what age you can start a business in vermont either. Possibly younger than 18. Ill have to look into that for my kiddos.
ivan hernandez there's plenty of work for everyone. It will be your work ethic which will ultimately determine if you are successful or not. Just don't step on his toes. Go get your own business. Go door to door if you have to. Whatever it takes to make your dreams come true. Good luck my friend
learn tile work man, and learn it well. there is a big market for GOOD tile installers. several places I have accounts with are booked up for months waiting on good installers. It pays very well too, IF you know your stuff.
The "American Dream" is right there if you're willing to work for it. Great story.
It’s called loving supportive parents and grandparents never mentioned in the video.

Very good advice Irvin!
bad advice, teach him how to invest.. if your money is just sitting it's depreciating in value and your literally losing money..
I have to say my favorite part about these videos is the ending..."God bless".
That is the hardest park finding good guys who know what they're doing
Not fed with a silver spoon. Had $1500 in the bank in the 4th grade. Lol
Alex Veniegas that's nothing .... so your a dumbass
Right... Buying a trailer in 5th grade... How many years before he was legal to drive??
Dennis Syrovoy... I didn't see your comment when I responded....
First off... it's "you're a dumbass"
2nd $1,500 for a 4th grader is a lot of money. Considering it's illegal to work at that age everything he had was given to him.
Right something doesn't add up
My exact thoughts. "A cheap $800 mower"
hard work and determination,thats how I did it.No sitting around when I was younger,my old man forced us to work,im glad he did.I went to trade school,got a ticket,worked UNION and NON UNION.Invested in heavy equipment and now am phasing out corporations and working for myself.GET A TRADE,ANY TRADE,then branch out,and do what you want later in life.KEEP YOUR DEBTS IN CHECK!!!!!!!!!

You're absolutely right ....Hi Renee good evening how are you doing over the re hope you're having a wonderful day 😊
That's Awesome stuff this guy is motivated to dig in
Thanks for viewing Mike !
"...bought a cheap $800 riding mower in 4th grade..." Where tf do you get that kind of money at that age?? But ya know what's more important is that he did something with it and made that investment increase...which was probably due to him be raised right. Good on him and good on his family. I wish everybody in this world had that kind if life. Sad thing is, so many people are crushed before they get a chance to get anywhere. Then they get crushed over and over. The mental anguish is what truly cripples people. I hope he uses his position to help others see value in themselves.

Do you thing lawn care/Landscaping is still a good business to get into even though there is a lot of competitors?
Charles Roach as of right now don't think so so much fierce competition but don't let it stop you if you think you got what it takes go for it
I respect these kids parents for exposing him to the real in fucking 4th grade. Damn! At 4th grade I was wondering what computer game I was gonna play when I got home
Amen!!! Great job kid.
Thanks! 😀
So I'm a 14 year old in Texas and are area has an abundance of cedar trees that need to be removed in rural areas. I am pretty good with the skidsteer and already have some one that could loan me the money to purchase one. My only problem is I can't drive yet to a job/ haul equipment. What is the best way to get around this ?I'm still 2 years away from a drivers liscense.
hire someone to transport the equipment, like the guy in the video said he did.
Texanminecrafter29 what I'm about to say has nothing to do with you being able to drive. Have you considered processing and selling the cedar into post or other lumber? Fence companies and some homemade furniture makers pay a pretty penny for some cedar. Cedar is naturally resistant to decay which makes it suitable for post or building H post.
lol lumberjack by day, minecraft player by night ;P
Hire someone to drive for you, someone who you can work well with. Also, get a chipper for the stuff that's too small to be turned into posts, sell the chips for landscaping mulch, you'll find yourself in three different businesses, maybe four (1-land clearing, 2-post sales, 3-mulch sales, 4-transportation). Since you posted a year ago, you wouldn't be doing too bad for a 15 year old.
awesome this guy
Great a Video Really inspirational
Freaking great story! Great video!
Awesome story young Man!!
How do you feel about home advisor as a contractor land scaper?
The state of Florida requires all landscaping businesses that reshape, grade and drainage to have 6 years experience. Was this kid working since he was 12? Or is it different where he's from?
That moment when you wish you had a dad who could have taught you this stuff..
Same here, we just gotta actually do it our selves, and make sure our kids can get it earlier than us
From one entrepreneur to another screw Angie's list home advisor is where it's at
Thanks for the info.
Ive been looking into Home Advisor for my lawn service. What is great about them and what has been your experience?
+Jonathan Goldsmith I've been extremely busy ever since I got on there. I don't pay for leads as I don't really have the time to be calling people "that's more for contractors that have to bid on jobs" so instead I just pay a small fee to be on all their sites so people can find me when they are searching then they call me . And people can still give u ratings on ur profile which helps a lot
Dropped those purely Groupon - Type shoppers at $15 - $25 per lead. Won't hurt to try, you will find out after a couple months
I'm not even sure if I can open a bank account in both of my kids names. I'm not sure what age you can start a business in vermont either. Possibly younger than 18. Ill have to look into that for my kiddos.
I started the same time as him
I love this!
Welp, He sure Motivated me ✊🏾
Nice video man
hey stanley I want to work for a business similar to yours im turning 18 on the 16th. any tips on where i should start?
Yeaaaaaa parents got money somewhere to start
what bussnies can I start and I'm in 9th grade? can't do landscape because my dad owns one.
ivan hernandez yes you can. Just because he owns that doesn't mean you can't.
ivan hernandez start your own and use his stuff!!!
ivan hernandez there's plenty of work for everyone. It will be your work ethic which will ultimately determine if you are successful or not. Just don't step on his toes. Go get your own business. Go door to door if you have to. Whatever it takes to make your dreams come true. Good luck my friend
learn tile work man, and learn it well. there is a big market for GOOD tile installers. several places I have accounts with are booked up for months waiting on good installers. It pays very well too, IF you know your stuff.
