    WHAT BROUGHT ME TO UA-cam: I worked at Goldman Sachs, in Private Equity, and built up a $100M holding company. But after being in Wall Street for so long, I got tired of managing hundreds of millions for the rich. Investing was for the few not the many. F that. You all are the reason I do this. We as a society need to get rich together. My mission is to create 100,000 business owners, I hope you’re one.

      @@woozy607 Like most businesses I think it comes down to competition. In my city he would have to compete against the city itself. That is hard to do when every time someone moves here they don't even need to do anything but check a box to get city pickup. I even specifically told the city I was going with a private contractor and the city still signed me up with city pickups. I had to go through a bunch of red tape to get the charges removed, etc.
      Btw, the contractor I went with has to deal with having only 1 to 2 pickups per block, if that. Yeah, that adds up to a lot of customers but they have to drive all over the place. The guy in the video has the opposite situation. Like we see in that one clip where the competition had that one sucky pickup where they had to then back out.

    My dividend journey began when I realized that two particular expenses in my budget were always going to go up and never go down. The two expenses were taxes and insurance. I realized that the dramatic rise in both will need some added income. So, I started buying shares paying dividends. I can now see that this will be the path I need to take to make sure those two expenses will not overtake my future income.

It’s a good idea to diversify your portfolio across different stocks and sectors to minimize risk.

    This is awesome. As someone who worked as a tech for Waste management you are going to go tires a lot especially if you drive the truck into the land fill instead of a tipping area. Also you need to find a mechanic who has waste experience or get really good at turning wrenches yourself. I hope you have a few down days that you can go over and work on the truck. Make sure you keep up on maintenance otherwise it will show its ugly head one way or another.

    I used to own an HVAC company. I bought many U-Haul style box trucks from the USPS and converted them into installation trucks. I got a 24 ft box truck with like 30K miles for $2500 or maybe $4000 from a US Gov auction. I simply paid a local mechanic, I think it was $120 or $140 to go do a vehicle inspection and test drive of it. Then flew out to CA to drive it back to AZ. I often spent more on the installation of hydraulics lifts and the company logo wraps than I did the trucks.

Then garbage trucks are notoriously needy for repairs and maintenance. Then you have to pay to dump in your local garbage fill.

He was smart though and didn't consider doing it until the only other garbage company in the area started messing over their customers with ridiculous fees. Instead of him begging people to sign up with him he had them begging him. That gave him that initial revenue that I suspect most new businesses struggle with.

    This is so interesting. I can relate to this so much, I just bought a pool cleaning business about a month ago and I never thought I’d be interested in pool cleaning. I also really liked it for the same residual income opportunity as trash collection. I’ve always been a believer in finding the thing no one else wants to do, then scale it.

      To me he did not have as much risk. He had ppl sign up with a realistic number of participants. Then they paid into it before the service even started. He got his clientele and made it happen. Most ppl start a business and assume everyone will like what service or product without testing it first. He tested it and first made sure there was demand before he supplied, which is really what a good business should do.

    • @garrydye2394

      I wouldn't call any of that luck and you only seen the problem and the outcome of each situation and nothing in between. That is why everything always looks easy or lucky from those who have never owned and ran a successful business. You only see "needs trash cash...obtains trash cans" - lucky. You didn't see that he called 138 different places and spent three days straight on the phone looking for trash cans to be delivered in time. Where most people would call 5 places get a "No" and say to themselves, "Whelp, we tried." I've owned three businesses and there is no such thing as luck in business.

    • @chrislawell1747

      I have as well owned multiple businesses and there is some luck involved. I’m not dismissing his hard work. Only saying as he was he had a lot of good luck along the way. Perfect storm every step from the start of the business because of the other one underperforming to lucking into the one man truck. He said himself he would have bought a two man because he didn’t know. He was lucky the one man came up first.

I make less but it doesn’t feel like work. Im looking at maps, thinking of optimal directions, scoping which offerer is a good deal or not by pay and where it drops, etc. Practical problem solving and quick decisions are more fun to me. I have been looking into getting a truck or van and thinking of more ways to use it to make money being outside.

Its that hard working spirit that is gonna help a lot. When workers see their boss doing it, its motivation. I hate it though when ppl say "i don't want my kids to work as hard as i did." That mentality is what crashed the Vanderbilt family (check out their story). Cornelius Vanderbilt was a stern hard working man with a strong work ethic. His sons worked hard as well because of him....they in turn, were easy on their children, not wanting them to be exposed to such "hard work". Such foolish ideologies led to spoilt generations who lacked discipline and strong work ethic...it was the beginning of the end. Its such a blessing when ppl recognise the efforts of parents & previous generations....and build on it. "The wise shall live off the foolish"

    Pay attention to the comment from the guy who says he was a Waste management tech. Truck maintenance and repairs are the potential nightmares. That truck will be great until the day sometime breaks and you don't know how to fix it and can't find someone that can. You wind up pulling a trailer since just to keep your customers while you try and figure out how to get it fixed. But trying to be negative just saying plan for it and find someone that really knows the truck or figure out how to train yourself. I had a street sweeping business, as part of a parking lot sweeping company. Really expensive truck, really expensive repairs, hard finding someone to trust driving it. But i always said to myself if it was easy they wouldn't pay us as much as they do. Never had less than 100k cashflow after the first year. Very much liked the idea that we got a customer and they stayed for years some even stayed the whole time we owned the company.

      Yup. Truck maintenance these days is crazy pricey, all the parts have 3x in price in last several years. Hourly shop labor rates way up. Few small repairs and easily wipe out all profit for the month of running the truck. Finding quality drivers helps, but also huge challenge.

      Focus on long term investments in property, stocks, and bonds. Avoid copying, daytrading and 'chart astrology'.
