In this interview, Peter delves into the systems and strategies that have allowed him to operate a debt-free, multi-million-dollar enterprise with nearly 30 employees. How he leveraged HomeAdvisor to surpass the $1M sales mark and tips for how to install concrete pavers.

About 10 years ago, I got three quotes on a patio. None would provide any drawings or breakdown, other than it would pave under my deck and cost between 35-50K. I decided to do it all, with some help from some people my wife knew that did landscaping. We set aside six weekends, I learned to level with a bobcat, grade off the house, tamp etc. Ended up doing a three tier landscape, bringing in soil, crush and run and scree. We paved, did steps landscaped two lawns on top level, columns for raised planters, and walls all around with raised beds etc. I contracted the materials with a local paving company, and landscape company. When finished the paving company asked if they could take pictures as they had come out to see what I was doing with 20+ pallets of pavers and wall. It was better than any local company would have done. I had someone estimate, and they thought I paid around $120K. My only regret was the three people I had working with me all asked, practically pleaded that I start a company. Learned all the major components through UA-cam.
Good for you
Sir... Here's you sign... Sounds like you enjoyed it, and have the expertise... Maybe do a project a year...
Bro made a smart decision starting right out of high school. I fell into the millennial scam of going to university wasting 4-5 years, gaining debt etc and only getting myself up at 30. When this dude is 30 he'll be in a much better position than most of his friends.
Regardless his hard work 4 am mornings are admirable. Good attitude, genuine guy, I really enjoyed this episode.
If you get a useless degree it's a waste...
@@drumsoccer100 i did a degree in the medical field --> profession has become saturated
He built this in 10years, even if you go to uni and graduate in your 30s, you can still make it provided you got what it takes
@@drumsoccer100 they're all useless.
His parents helped him get started. This is key! Good job mom and dad.
Props to this young man.
Appreciate the support! 🔥
26 aint young lmaoooooooo
The guy is a G!
Hundred percent! 🔥
We not chasing The dollar we chasing experience " I like that motto
Thank God he didn't go to school beyond grade 10.. would have had his entrepreneurial spirit beaten right out.. Such an inspiring guy !
A true entrepreneur never loses their spirit regardless of the situation! 💪
This kid is killing it! good on him, lots of respect for the hustle!
Appreciate the support! ☺️
Lessons learned: own the sales and marketing, hire out the job to contractors.
Indeed, that's a highly effective business model! 🌟
Subcontracting is such a clever move; focus on what you're good at (marketing, sales) and let other people break their backs. Brilliant.
This business model is all about giving people an opportunity. It's not about breaking backs but creating skilled livelihoods. 🙏
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I LEARNED A LOT !!!!!!!!!!!!
I think a lot of the people interviewed blow smoke, but this guy seems genuine to the point where I would hire him. I like how he said people will use all the profits to expand instead of saving some for the slow and or hard times. Very underestimated statement as most people want instant growth.
You're absolutely right! Building a strong foundation is crucial for true growth. It's not just about expanding but also withstanding the challenges along the way. 💪
Nothing wrong with blowing smoke. That’s an old head mentality. Way more pros then 🍺 just had to let you know
Truth be told I wold rather pay $5K for that work instead of a $70K "experience". Peter said they are selling the experience and a lot of people get roped into it. I mean good for him for figuring this out. A good backstory or experience is the best way to sell something. I have a neighbor that hired a full team for $150K to design his entire landscaping which gave him a colorized layout that he got to hang on his living room wall. He is soo proud of that framed printout. Wooohoo. A year later they are still planting his landscaping... its funny to watch because I would have been done in a month doing it myself, then I'd go to staples and print my own design and hang it on the wall. LOL. Some people are going to get wiped out eventually because they dont know how to manage their money.
Some people don't have the time, energy, or capacity to work on their own spaces, but that doesn't mean they don't know how to manage their money. 😉
@@UpFlip spending that much on landscaping tells me they precisely DONT know how to manage their money.
@@ghosteye007unless that shit is pocket change to them maybe ? Lol
Completely agreed, as much as I love profit, I see through his "value" as not nearly worth the price
Being in a race to the bottom over the cheapest price is not a great business model either.
The host is very good! I can see he connects well with the featured entrepreneur.
Thank you! Paul is thrilled to hear your positive feedback! 🙌
Smart young man has more figured out than I did at his age.
He's learned and achieved more than many of us have, even at our current ages! 👏
Wow Peter 🤩This video is so motivating. I'm truly inspired by your journey and the valuable advice you shared. Thanks, Paul, for always hosting inspiring people on your channel! We need more of that 😊
Glad you found it helpful! Hope the information propels you to new heights and success. 🚀
Job well done! 👍
Appreciate the support! ☺️
Christian hardscape brothers on UA-cam are 👌🏽
Inspiring
Hope he inspired you to kickstart your own business venture! 🔥
I noticed he dropped out, but I believe his father is a business owner. No knock on him, but he had some acceptance of business concepts.
What's important is what he did with the information he got. Look at where it took him! ✨
It’s depends where the market is cause down here they don’t care about they yard
For a guy in my late 40s, this guy is like a male mentor we all need. Christian guy with a successful business and a good role model to his staff and customers. Imagine he dropped out at 10th grade and got it figured out more than a lot of employees running around with a masters and PhD 😂
I did pavers must be my area only small jobs
Where are you located? Perhaps consider moving your service to an area with higher demand?
Another Washington based business. Is Upflip out of Washington state ?
We do travel, but lately its been mostly Washington state interviews ;)
I think we found the 18 year old with 30 years experience
We're truly impressed by every aspect of his maturity! 👏
yall gotta chill with these titles and thumbnails it’s all cap but great vid
Hope you watched until the end to understand the significance of these numbers! 🔥
This guy sounds like Mark Zuckerberg
Likeminded people speak alike! 💪
@@UpFlip Absolutely, this guy could run a fortune 500
When you become a millionare you realize that money is just an illusion. Anybody can be a multi-millionare just by changing their mindset towards money and income. There's a reason every self-made millionare says that making your first million is the hardest.
Well said! You change your life by changing your mind 😉
I would like to have someone lay pavers in my yard.👍🙏😎
That would indeed be an awesome experience! 🌟
Dude is 28 looks like he is 49 but damn he good
Yep 😂
😂😂😂
👎
too much sun for sure
It's the clothes. Lol. He dresses like a 35+ man who considers himself to be successful.
700k revanue isnt really that great and your a liar. 2nd to that Your profit on these jobs since your do not own most of your equipment and likely don't insure it all is a lot
Chill Buddy.
700k per month for a service business is great.
@@Thebluesky0311 hes full of shit mate
Even if he’s making 25% profit that’s still $175k/mo
How is that not good? Why would he be a liar? Quit being a jealous, delusional american
Clearly, you didn't listen to the entire episode.
UA-cam ads r such bs
