Has anyone on here even started an actual buisness?If so, explain what it is.
Yes, I lay cinder blocks. All the houses here are built out of them, so I always have plenty of work. I gross around $6,500–$7,000 a week for a 6-day workweek and work only half the year.
>>60904605Yes, many diff industries and models. In the US the biz owner gets to be victimized by customers, employees, banks, and the govt bc it's mostly a scam. HOWEVER, if you have investors then it's a free ride. If you can run a biz by yourself it's not bad if you can make money and not sink you time and resources into (eg franchise owner/operator). Hiring contractors over employees if possible is always the way to go. And as I mentioned before, getting funded is the way to go; otherwise, your going to get rugged. Safest plays are always: cleaning, landscaping, HVAC, ecommerce, bookkeeping, and other various blue collar ventures. Start your business as a hobby until you have your first customer otherwise you're spending a bunch of money on something that may fail right outta the gate.
