If you know people with money? Insurance sales/financial services.

If you know a bunch of broke arse people? Tattoo parlor, vape/dope/tobacco store.

Home services. Painting, mowing, trash can cleaning, light construction, air filter changing, etc.

I know a guy who does this. He has a ton of clients and makes a good living.


So, isn't this a Handyman?

Inherit a non-profit where people are guilted, on tv, into committing to $25/month for life, while you take a million, plus, per year off of the top.

Call it "Feed the old crying Ukranian joo lady".

Yes, and expanding.

He started out servicing our small town (we are a rural golf course community with about 400 homes) and is now expanding out to some of the surrounding towns.

Yes. But he's a pro at it. Owns several trucks and trailers, and at least 6 employees.

Learn the roofing business and become your own contractor for your own business!

Keep on networking, and that thing will grow faster than you could imagine!

My brother knew absolutely nothing about the roofing business, but he always had the hustle in him so when a hail storm hit, he just started dropping flyers at doors and rounded up a bunch of Mexicans in front of Home Depot that could roof houses and he was selling jobs nonstop!

Now he doesn’t even mess with residential. He only does shopping centers and schools for several million dollar contracts and he has those same guys working for him that started with him, this was 20 years ago.

Once you get your first $100,000, learn the markets, the financial markets and learn all you can about Trading. It will balloon faster than you can imagine as long as you don’t put out too much risk without hedging if you do options trading!

Good luck!!!!

Everyone needs insurance. I'd say that.

As an anecdote, we have a friend that handles our life insurance and he does the same for most of our friends and friends of friends. When we all had kids and got supplemental life, he was just starting his book of business.

He's expanded now, but the circle around him really got him off the ground.

This is called lobbying if it’s in politics.

Lots of fat salaries being paid and it’s not for their leadership or skills. Good ole consulting services.

I may or may not know one guy I call The Luncher. He can get you a lunch meeting with just about anybody. And that’s a profitable business for him.

Call me crazy, but I'd rather make my living off people I don't know. Eventually, shite hits the fan and a relationship will be ruined. Insurance? Guy forgets to pay or the fine print gets him.

Banking, customer can't pay.

Politics...shiiiiit.

Insurance or real estate. If do well 500k-800k is well within reach.
