This is just a heads up. A lot of these businesses sound great, and they are. But you need heavy duty insurance every time you walk into someone's home and do anything. And that was not mentioned in the video. Most of the time you're going to be fine of course, but it only takes once for a bad job to bankrupt you. Definitely have an LLC, and commercial insurance for any of these. I'm serious. Don't skip that step thinking that you don't need it. You do.

As someone who started business several times, and failed number of times: There is NO such thing as "Simple Business", every busuness might look simple from the idea perspective, but every idea requires dedication, comitment, customer service, problem resolutions, risk assesments, market research etc... etc... to grow into succesful business.

I’ve always told my kids if they can find a job that people don’t want to do or don’t understand how to do and they are good at it, they will always have a good job. Hopefully it’s also something you love doing. That’s the best of all worlds.

This is LITERALLY the ONLY video that's useful with that title. Everyone else says all same things. Thank you for giving real ideas and being original and actually helpful ideas

Been self employed for 20 years. Best way to live. Work hard. Pay your taxes. Love what you do. Work for God...help people.

I've been running a carpet and upholstery cleaning business for 20 years. I do $400-$500 a day cleaning around 5 hours a day. Overhead is around $1100 a month. Hard work but I love it!

Amazing content! I have been following your videos for some time now. I've been working on scaling my business for two years and have seen some great progress. Currently, I'm facing some challenges and wondering if there are any short-term opportunities I can explore to help scale further. Any guidance in this regard would be much valued.

The fire lane curb outside our house had been painted so many times, so when it rained it was slippery. My mother slipped and shattered her knee and she was not able to walk normally again for the rest of her life. So make sure that you always mix Sand in with the paint.

I used to clean fish tanks for $100 an hour, made even more on tanks in commercial buildings.

Thank you for putting this video together. It will help so many people. I actually have made myself a business that is Crying for more people. I take care of elderly people. From mildly disabled to hospice patients. Our seniors are forgotten in this country and it is sad. Duties include granny sitting, changing diapers, bathing, dressing, cooking, cleaning and anything else that is needed. The last family paid me $5 grand a month to live with her and take care of her until she passed. Men should not overlook this opportunity because many times strength is needed to move patient or furniture, beds etc. I lost husband and home during pandemic and live in a van but if I had a vehicle to haul trash or equipment I would do many things in your video. I just bought raw land in southwest Virginia so if anybody needs help with anything hmu. Give love, share love, and let’s all help each other y’all!

The US Gov't supports an organization called "SCORE" - Service Corps of Retired Executives. There are many retired executives associated with SCORE who will mentor a new business owner and help them through the rough spots with valuable advice.

Another great business is on site lawnmower service. A local man does my mower each year, changes the oil, filter, Sharpens the blade, etc. I pay for a riding mower about $250 . With his truck and ramps it takes him less than 30 minutes and its cheaper then me taking it to a repair shot. Plus most people dont have the means to take a riding mower to the shop anyway. He is always booked months into the future... Easy for him to make $1000 - 1500 per day during the season....

I’ve always heard there’s money in garbage. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

The best most practical work for yourself/start your own business video I have ever come across.... Thank you!

[danielhall]

Bro. What a video! Informative, striaght to the point and easy to understand.

[corrosioncrawler]

It is truly amazing how many people simply don’t have the free time or would rather pay someone to take care of many tasks, chores, or common maintenance. I’ve lived in the country all of my life and can fix just about anything that needs fixing. I take that ‘know-how’ for granted sometimes. I just recently started a handyman business and this video gave me some great ideas about additional services that I could offer !!!
Great video! And thanks for the ideas!!!
