Wish I had watched this video sooner, have not been on you tube much, so busy with work Your a good man and you have have my full support anyway I can..
I had to get out of the landscaping business years ago just the way it goes. Nobody wants to pay the price to have their grass cut or work done in their yard. Landscapers here on the Coast or BC need to get alteast 40-50 dollars per hour to make a profit. Everything is so cut throat now people under bidding each other. The economy in Canada will get worse when the realestate bubble pops and people are paying on house that are dropping in value. Going to be ugly in 2012.
(2) day and as soon as I got out went to work at my Company and busted hump on weekends. Got into Hydro-seeding made HUGE profits on that. Ended up selling the Company equipment, contracts, name, everything. Made a nice profit and started doing Welding work on the side. You remind me alot of myself work hard and play hard and just enjoy life good luck sounds like you have a solid business plan
Just make sure to spend quality time with your family! I almost lost my marriage being a workaholic
(1)I also started a small landscaping business when I was around 12 just doing yards in the neighborhood when i was around 18-19 worked for a large landscape firm worked my way to foreman in 2 years. Then I started another bit larger landscape business and it blossomed quite well. The Maintenance (cutting) end is just to keep $ rolling in the landscape construction is where I made most of my money. I had 3 trucks several mowers bobcat ect. Then got a Govt Job had people work for me during the
Great video man, I love the idea of being an entrepreneur. Its a hard life but its rewarding. My familys always been entrepreneurs, normally in the tax business though. Keep up the hard work and it'll go places! .If i was a good mechanic id take you up on the offer!
hey Andy we own a scrap yard in Shawville quebec (lalondes towing) if we started pulling computers out for you would you buy them from us in bulk? we can arrange for shipping.
I hold you in the highest esteem Andy, you're an honest to goodness down to earth business/family man. Difference between you and a certain other party, is you'll never go to jail for how you make money.....you do it legally, properly, and that's something to be proud of, i had better be unblocked now....lol
good plans i hope u fix it so u get it so u want it. myself is 25 and unemployed and seams impossible to get a job i am planing if i get hold of free stuff or cheap stuff to get self employed.
but u have a big downside of being self employed u cant scream at the boss
Your a good guy Andy. It's admirable of you sharing your dreams and goals in life. You one of the guy's that seperates the men from the boy's. I'm close to twice your age and your a mini-me of me and closing in. Your known by your rep and character and that is everything in life. I think you should continue youtubing, It's a great way to keep yourself in check. The Individual's that dislike like you are Jealous. They just need to develop there own game plan to be successful. Good video Buddy!!
Dude, Please, do videos like this while not in the truck. I tried to listen and watch the whole video, but the drone of the background noise made me crazier than I already am. LOL
On a side note; If you have any Silver holdings mainly physical ; I would wait till it rebounds to your in price or $35 however expect it to go no higher unless the US Gov. is due to a congressional "Shutdown" to drop soon after.
Stack paper ~ it's safer than Gold contrary to public opinion.
3.) Con't... this way you can best encourage self motivation & weed out the slackers who just want a paycheck.
Let me enlighten you about the car body/metal market. This business shall follow the lead of crude oil prices based on the avg. in any quarter although smaller yards shall pay out based on weekly ebbs & declines in response to the cost of fuel. Oil is King.
2.) Con't... If still you do wish to play around the classifieds; there is a software that I heard off some $400 that will auto repost expired listings or after an ad is flagged to augment a bane into an advantage.
But remember Carnegie said "if you removed all his tools & equipment & left him with his people, he could rebuild his enterprise". Quality people I might add. When hiring offer some profit sharing/commission option against the base ticket.
@Begbucks 400 bucks is nuts for a program to auto repost listings. its easy enough to repost if you have a craigs account since all you have to do is click the repost button
@GaryKist No you are missing the point; this items can also repost flagged adds, enter captcha (at .035 cents each) & free up your time. plus if you have multiple PVA's (Personal Verified Accounts which can be bulk purchased at about $1.50 each or even less) you can simultaneously repost across your area or even the globe, all on auto pilot. How cool is that?
@Begbucks well that is pretty cool if it can handle hundreds of listings and manipulate the words enough to post the same ad on multiple areas of the globe...assuming this is on craigslist
@GaryKist Yes pretty much it is also claimed to rotate titles (that you pre-enter), This was back 2 years ago just prior to some of the PVA revamp however they said there would be an update. I'll have to look for the exact name, since there are many copycats.
For car sales you should try eBay but forget the classifieds like Kijiji & Craigslist if you could (ethically & legally) swap ou out the odometer consoles to display Miles first & foremost V.S. Kilometers. You should find a decent market online, but eBay in any case, Just watch out for Zero feedback bidders & other often undesirable deadbeat bidders Open at just over scrap & eBay insertion.
Right on buddy...you work hard, and it pays off. I'd totally be down for taking a job, but unfortunately I live in Mississauga :( Good luck in your future and keep up the good work!
There is a goldmine in used parts! (as Im sure you know) I worked in a junkyard with my cousin for 3 years or so, plus a couple other yards Ive worked at, and I saw how good of a business. I have always been into scrappin cars, but only recently decided to start doing it regularly. I recently stripped out a durango, saving all good sheetmetal, every resellable componant. scrapped all the copper, aluminum, and steel that was unused. Ive sold almost every part from it. Now im workin on a talon.
@utoobube Hopefully when I get done selling the parts/scrap from it, I will start buying several cars at a time. I hope you the best in your endeavors Andrew!
@DodgeDweller420 Same here in ct. Last year was a killer though for snow plows. I haven't even put the plow on my personal truck. Don't need it. Last year i used it a few times a week just doing my own driveway (all it ever does).
