3 SIMPLE WAYS To Run a SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS IN FLORIDA
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лип 2020
- Over the years of living in Florida, it has become apparent to me that there is a LOT of OPPORTUNITY to start a successful business in Florida. Why you might ask? Because so many of them are TERRIBLE and by just following a few simple guidelines, you can crush the competition and do very well for yourself here.
In my opinion, you only need to have 3 qualities to run a successful business here in Florida. They are Integrity, Punctuality, and Reliability. THAT'S IT!
And if you think I'm kidding, I'm not....The amount of businesses here that possess these 3 qualities is very low, so if you can come here and just operate with those 3 characteristics, you will be good to go.
Here are a few ideas of business that you can start here with little to no effort that need desperate help in this department.
HANDYMAN
CLEANING SERVICE
REAL ESTATE AGENT
PROPERTY MANAGER
PEST CONTROL
PAINTER
FLOOR INSTALLER
DRYWALL
APPLIANCE REPAIR
APPLIANCE INSTALLER
Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head, that really suck here. So good luck! I wish you success in your new business!

So true ... my friends from Florida told me about it and i couldn’t believe that someone would disrespect their clients like that.. as you said, they just never even showed up to the appointment
Oh yeah, very common and happens all the time
Excellent video, Michael. This really encourages me in considering our move to FL. Im originally from the Midwest, so doing what I say I will do is common sense and just plain right. Thanks!
Hey thanks! Yes, you would think that is just common sense and is of course how we were taught to do things growing up. Crazy this is not common here
Your video was great as ever! Thanks a lot!!! Have a great Sunday from Brazil to all of you in Miami!
Thank you ver much Rogeria, you have a nice Sunday as well!
just one stroll down the boardwalk in 4k with a bright blue sky and people passing by running/exercising is the most attractive thing about this place. Thought the ground appears to have just been rained on. hahahah Take care and keep on keeping on. Enjoy all your videos!!!
It's one of my favorite things about the area too! It probably did just rain before that, it is summer after all😄 So glad you enjoy my videos, thank you so much!
Thanks for your insights Michael, it's really good to hear your thoughts on starting a business in Florida. We're planning such a move (as soon as the corona situation gets better) and it's reassuring to learn how basic business skills will get us far.
You're welcome! Yes I truly believe it can be this easy after all I have seen here. Once you get here, you can crush the competition👌
Michael, Once again, Thank you for the wonderful videos you have made, I have learned a lot by watching your videos, looking forward to your next video.
You’re welcome Carmen so happy to hear that I have helped you. Really makes me feel good😊
Man I love your topics so much! I visited Florida in 2018 and spent a week driving around 950 miles. I like the gulf side south of Sarasota area. It felt so comfortable there and like "home". Your channel is helping me prepare(atleast mentally) to get ready. Its a slow process for me but its too important to wing just yet. -From Oregon, Eugene.
Thanks a lot Eugene! You already did the most important thing, figure out where you like in FL so hopefully my videos will help make the move as smooth as possible for you! Thanks so much for watching😀
Thats when i am moving as well in September... 😃
@@MOBU76 Very cool, its coming up quick!
Thank you. great info..
You're welcome!
My husband is an electrical contractor on Coronado Island, in San Diego, and he said he is successful because he gives a client a date and a time, and he is there when he says he will be. He said his clients say that you cannot believe how many people will give you a date and a time that they will be there, and then never show up, or show up way later. He said that, coupled with being honest and fair, and doing what you say you are going to do, will get you all the success you could ever want.
Agree 100%. Just those 2 traits alone, I think are paramount and yet so simple in running a successful business. Kudos to your husband✌️
Thank you.
South Florida is a goldmine for my industry! Cant wait to bring Oklahoma principles to the high end customer base of S FL!
That is the way to look at it! Would love to know the progress you make once you are up and running here👍
@Tarzan 😂 Im from Oklahoma. It's over 100. We arent afraid of hard work in harsh weather. I literally live in my shop on a couch to make this happen. Weather is nothing in the face of my goals
Yep so true, good business ethics and service is hard to come by in south Florida. And lots of lying as well. Honesty is the best policy and being punctual and following through with your word, like returning a call or following up. You’ll be ahead of 99% of others in your field.
For sure! I feel like it would be so easy to start one of the businesses I mentioned simply because the competition is sh*t😄
Another good video! Let's get one to go viral!
Thanks Zach! I hope so, I don't think it will be this one. Hopefully one will go viral soon😀
Based on what you have said, looks like Florida is not a business environment like New York City, where people treat business appointments more seriously. It’s more of a vacation area. Maybe that’s why nobody cares to be “polished” on appointments and productivity?
I would have to mostly concur with that. It's not that there aren't professional people here, because there are, I consider myself one of them and have met others. But seems to be rare. But at the same time, it's opportunity since the competition is pretty weak👍
So very true.
Im in california its the same way here we have property maintenance and construction buss and have to keep training people eventhough they been doing handywork for 30 yrs .
That is so messed up! I guess though you have to train your employees, but when you are the one running the business, it's different in IMO
Yes it is , Im telling you people have no love or passion about themselves or what they do anymore nor they take any responsability for their actions either they just play straight dum i dont get it! they just do whatever just to get paid and thats it and we as owners have to deal with cosequences ,drives me nuts .
But hey i hope you have a great season and just keep on . Thanks for your vodeos
@@king8521 Finding good help these days is tough, but I think a lot of people have been beaten and battered by past jobs as well. I know that's what happened to me, and when I decided it would be best to go into business for myself, that way the incentive is there. Good luck to you as well, and thanks for watching!!
We heard about the work ethic of the people down here before we moved too. Now that we are here, I see it. It's pretty sad and pathetic.
Yeah it is sad, but just a fact of life in FL. But at least it's an opportunity!
i agree with the video! what a good insight Michael :) one bad experience i had out all the good experiences when i was in Miami was this car rental place i used to rent a car, overcharged and charged me double lol compare to what the guy promised me. Legitimate and honesty is the key! dam not even showing up for biz is just crazy tho lol
Thank you Sean! I believe it! I have heard other stories like yours as well not just car rental but any service. And not showing up just seems to be normal🤷♂️ Once you are here, you can bury them all😆
@@MichaelBordenaro I will dominate the market by pure honesty and over delivering for sure! actually working on landing 1 ~3 clients there from comfort of my home already haha
Thank u.
Do have an opinion on home cleaning? Is there much a need and is the competition the same as u describe in the video?
I think that's a great Business to start here. There are a lot of cleaning companies but most of them suck and are unreliable
I would love to start my own business, I work in Government here in South Florida, needless to say I'm beyond disillusioned and bored, I want to increase my income while not answering to anyone, the problem is just figuring out what to do.
I think figuring out what to do can be one of the toughest parts of going into business. It certainly was for me. Maybe start with your interests, talents or hobbies, figure out what you like and are good at, and start with that. I totally understand wanting the freedom and income potential 👌
thank you
Wow, did not know Florida service professional were like you describe. I guess people are too relax, they take it easy too much since Florida seems beautiful. Moving there seems nice since all you to do to be successful is being on time, reliable and transparent... well that sounds simple... hopefully I won’t get caught in the Floridian ways hehe 😅
I know right? Doesn't it sound so easy? I don't want to over simplify starting a business, because it is always a process and requires some capital up front, but once you are in business, I really think it's that simple haha😀
I lived in NMB for a year and I couldn't agree more...worst customer service of any location I've ever lived. Thanks for the video. I'm looking into starting my own business here in West Florida...don't even have a name yet.
Yeah its pretty pathetic. Hopefully you'll have better luck on the other coast finding good help👌
This really resonates with me. It’s similar here in southern Missouri. I could easily manage one or even two service based business and slaughter the “Competition” here. The trade off is I’d have to stay in MO. I’m moving to FL in a couple of months and succeed with professionalism. Cheers!
You’re going to do awesome here if you come with that mentality. The competition is weak👌
Hey! What kind of service business do you run?
@@Them1st I've been a Painter most of my life.
@@audiobook3837Thanks. Do you prefer residential over commercial painting?
@@Them1st Def residential
Mike, when did your channel really start to take off? I'm up in Delray Beach..Good stuff man.
Hey thanks Paul! I like Delray, very nice area👍 The channel started growing more once I reached 1K subscribers, but has leveled off a bit lately. I actually started a 2nd channel, which I have not mentioned or advertised here yet, because I am not being consistent there like I am here where I talk about my experience of growing this channel and what I think is working / what isn't. I think growing a youtube channel is one of the most fascinating things in the world right now. If you want to check out that channel I'll link it here: ua-cam.com/channels/tfLtZkNThk64QuOsmylg-Q.html
@@MichaelBordenaro Thanks man..Keep up the good work and positive videos.
@@PalmBeachesPaul Absolutely, I will! Thank you so much for watching😊
@@MichaelBordenaro sending you a dm on your facebook account..let me know what you think
That's what I heard We will be moving our exterior repair business from up north down to Florida with a 5-star rating it sounds like I'm not going to have a problem
I think you will do great! Not hard to beat most of the losers, just don't get complacent and always maintain professionalism👌
Thanks Mike. I use to had a business experience in Boca Raton. Do not forget the people in South Florida are very cheap, even if they have money. They do not value your work, so it will be difficult for you to compete with immigrants from South America.
Yes but I think that is also something you run into everywhere and highly depends on who your clientele is in what type of business you are running. I wouldn't buy something like that deter you from trying again
I don't think people follow up here in South Florida as much as they should.
Just one of many things that they don't do in order to run a professional operation
It's a very strange and bizarre place to do just about any type of business indeed. And it's all around you, from your lawn service guy, to your vet, to the delivery guy delivering your fridge, to the plumber/handyman guy you hired to do some work for you and skips town without finishing the work. It's almost in the DNA because you really do see it everywhere
Thanks for backing me up on this as someone else who lives in FL. Very weird its like that, but at the same time its good, because it is a gaping opportunity for REAL business people👍
@@MichaelBordenaro Very true. I hate that I've kind of gotten used to it but like you said if you carry yourself with integrity and just do what it is you say you're going to do and don't continuously BS people you'll be just fine. Unfortunately it's ingrained in the culture here to just be shaddy and it's just terrible.
what about a high end wood countertop business? what areas of Florida do you think would cater best to this?
That's an interesting one. I would move to an area that has a lot of construction and renovation jobs happening. This is obviously a thing here in Miami and I would imagine a lot of other big Florida city's with expensive real estate could use that service as well
Is power washing a good business to start ?
Sure why not, as long as you follow the principles in the video, I think you'll do well!
I've been exploring the possibility of doing HVAC work down there. With no formal education at this time, what would you say my chances are of getting an apprenticeship?
That is something that is always in demand as well, so I think it's a good opportunity to explore down here
Florida is getting hit very hard stay safe 👍
Yes it is, thank god we are safe, thank you! You stay safe as well😊
@Pythia’s Lament I'm with you on that one... I think this whole thing is ridiculous and blown out of proportion
LLC's in treasure coast (Blow and Go's) you would be amazed at what people pay for.
Not sure I understand what you mean
Hi I've been considering moving to Florida with my family, I am California and looking for a change I had up until recently my real estate license here California I just let it expire as I had another business going on I was wondering in you could provide more information on how to get a real estate license in Florida and what is the market for a fairly inexperienced real estate agent? Thank you for your videos and hope to hear from you
Hey that's cool! I have seen many people in the comments lately like yourself moving from CA to FL. I did make a video touching on this topic, I'll link it here: ua-cam.com/video/L5yBs4pzXCA/v-deo.html I dont go into getting the actual license, but that is very easy here in FL. Much easier than CA. I went to Gold Coast Real Estate School, they have classes online and in person. So glad the videos are helping you😀
@@MichaelBordenaro thank you have a wonderful day
@@salyessy2799 Thank you too!
Would you say that South Florida has enough people mowing grass and weed eating ? Up in Indiana anyone can get a mower and make 20-30 bucks per small lawn. Does that work down there.
That is one business I see there are many of. But in my experience, I hired a guy to do the lawn twice a month at my duplex, and he never used to show up when he said he would and never did anything I asked. So there are a lot businesses here doing it, how reliable they are, is another story
@@MichaelBordenaro well thanks man. I appreciate that.
@@indiana-florida2479 You bet! I wish you success!
I was wondering, what kind of Camera are you utilizing?
I use an iphone X
@@MichaelBordenaro Really, I was referring to the camera you were using when you were showing various properties in the Miami Beach area. Looked like a Canon or Nikon with a big lens, maybe a Carl Zeiss or something (you were carrying it attached to a tripod). Also, maybe I should get an Iphone X, the videos you do look and sound awesome; have been debating on getting a new phone. Just have never liked iPhones because they do not allow for an addition of a Micro SD card for additional storage.
@@sianwraith1984 Yes sir, all of my videos are shot on my iPhone, every single one of them. It doesn't have remove-able storage, but that is a small price to pay IMO for having an excellent device👌 It's never let me down.

Want to open a successful business anywhere? Open a truck stop.
I went to two truckstops that were completely full so went to the rest stop and grabbed the last available parking spot and that was at noon.
I hate Florida and hate bringing loads.
I just tolerate it. Parking sucks for truckers here.
I just got off a cross country road trip and I noticed a lot of the truck stops were very busy everywhere. Looks like we need more!
@@MichaelBordenaro For sure. Society gives truckers a bad rap but they don’t understand we cannot get to a grocery store, beauty shop, and other services but we DO have money to spend because all we do is work.
Also I am so sick and tired of seeing liquor stores next to truck stops but no grocery store.
@@SweetpeaandLilly I get it, saw mostly trucks on the road across all of US, way more than cars. Its a tough job, and lots of long hours on the road. That is sad if its only liquor stores mostly instead of groceries 😔
Hey Michael, thank you for this video.
We are a 14 year residential exterior repair company that will be expanding to work in Florida.
Let me know if you can help us with rental properties for our employees. We will be starting to work in Florida during late fall thru mid spring.
Let me know your thoughts on this and what are you recommend for our stucco repair business.
Send me message to make sure you received this comment from this 2 y/o video.
First, buy a boat that can get to the Bahamas and back at 80 kts.
how did you do it can you share with me , thank you
Hi what exactly are you wanting to know?
It's called Island time
Where are the modest locations to live in your area?
Im not sure I understand your question. Elaborate more and I'll see if I can answer
Do you know of low cost apts?
@@MichaelBordenaro I am starting over from basically
@@sianwraith1984 Where I live, the starting price for an apt here is about $950/mo and up for a small studio.
@@sianwraith1984 I understand, I did the same
Two problems, aside from poor work ethic, with some of the single-person (unlicensed) small businesses (like a few from your list above) is substance abuse and having a felony conviction.
Yes, there are a lot of issues with people like that. I hope this video inspires some people that are moving here to start one of these businesses, and be better😊
Michael are you a believer in Jesus Christ?
If you are asking if I think he was "real" person, probably. Do I believe there is one god I should bow to and live my life by rules of a church, then no

"from the north" ya you don't get florida. You definitely don't understand the culture here. The disrespect is warranted often times. And the way you talk shit about florida buisnesses is wild.
