I've watched entrepreneurs generate $80,000 in their first month by focusing on marketing first and subcontracting fulfillment instead of building a full operation.

Stories I want to hear more of: People who were successful that had good relationships with their kids, healthy marriages and never missed a game.

This is a very long thread. @SamtLeslie asked to give the playbook for service companies so here it is. Follow it and you’ll get to 5M+ in a few years. This is pure operations playbook. No leadership, financial or HR discussion. Enjoy.

This listing is so stupid. A $1.83M rev HVAC company could easily be 3 full time employees, no office staff, no systems and could be built in like 12 months. I’ve seen it done - someone tried to sell me one last year they got to 1.9 in 16 months and offload it for $2M.

Over the past few months I’ve substantially reduced my alcohol intake. I’ve gone from 6-8 drinks a week down to 2. No difference in sleep, weight, appearance or feeling. Bummed out! All the anti-booze folks say I should be walking on water by now.

I have never been asked by a business partner, bank, acquisition target, or team member where I went to college. Tens of millions in revenue, Millions in deals, millions in lending. Nobody cares.

We serve around 42,000 homes a year. Very rarely, we accidentally schedule three neighbors at the same exact moment! Captured on film!

This truck costs about 250k and I have 5 of them. They each pump and haul around 12000 gallons of sewage a day. I think that’s hilarious.
