Good job bro keep it up + repI started my own flooring company here in KY smack in the middle of a recession! I got laid off from my job 2 yrs ago and while sitting at home drawing unemployment I started picking up little cash jobs here and there. I already had all the tools and it seemed like I kept getting more and more calls. Long story short I bought some business cards, refridgerator magnets and started putting ads on sites like craigslist. I saved a little, got business insurance and havent looked back since. I have recently picked up work from 3 different contractors and about a dozen interior decorators around my area not to count all the business just from word of mouth. I had to bring in two other guys I worked with just to keep up! I write off EVERYTHING I can too. I keep two different invoices in my truck too. One that has my company name that I give to clients that own business' (such as the contractors) and one I give to someone who just calls from word of mouth. This invoice just has my name on it so they make the check out to me directly and not my business name so I can just take it to thier bank and cash it and keep it off my books and seperate from my business account. As long as it is under $599 Im good on those!

I own a rendering company that makes compost, I compost roadkill and farm animals for disposal which I then sell the compost to local gardeners. Started the business about 3 years ago and have tripled in size since I started. I set my own hours which is nice, took up MJ as a side hobby. Almost have to when you make fertilizer.

I used to sell goods like clothes and shoes,buy low sell high, I run a landscaping and snowplowing business, I service foreclosures, and have many residential clients and a couple commercial. Good money but you work hard for the money almost too hard looking for business with low physical stress and cash heavy!

I'm a truck driver and I was working for a company that started to become extremely overbearing. Long hours, little reward, and an owner who had the opinion of drivers being a dime a dozen. I stacked up my paper,my wife put up some money and we started a mobile detailing business. I started it part-time at first, business picked up, and I was able to quit driving. It hasn't been easy, but it's well worth the struggles doing it for myself. I'm usually able to drop-off and pick-up my son from daycare, enjoy a cup of coffee and breakfast if i choose to. The next move is getting my own truck, trailer, and starting a freight brokerage company. Trucking is my true calling and I recommend anyone to look into starting a freight brokerage.

I've owned a computer store and produced my own TV show, each for a few years. Now I'm disabled but interested in organic nutrients and what it takes to bring an OMRI-listed organic product, that really works, to market. Who knows, if I feel better I may be marketing my own nutrient line someday, lol.....

When I was seventeen I started an ebay business. I'd go to the local salvo every half-off Wednesday and buy the ralph lauren polos for about a buck a piece. I could sell them in bundles for like 25 bucks or sell them per shirt for about 5 bucks each. You've gotta do it big to make money, I encourage anyone young to do it. With just salvo purchases I was making $200 a week. Then I started buying bulk hats on ebay or bulk shirts.. like 200 per order. You can break them up and sell them and make serious cash. Same goes for computers.... I got ebay proseller status and was making $600 a week... blazed all day making trips to the post office. I've got a million legitimate business ideas, I'm just saving up the cash. 19 years old now and I own/direct and manage a school in Carrefour, Haiti and have a non profit that just won a 20k grant making promotional videos for NGO's in Haiti and Pakistan...
I'm doing amazing so far. Went to college for a year... didn't learn a thing, and now I grow, fly to Haiti every month and make kids smile and earn money and publicity for awesome NGO's. This new year I'm going to start up a legitimate business. I saved up 25k my 18th year (not including four grants that I won) and I hope to make 100k by the time I'm twenty. (Legitimately) smoke money non included...
I quit the ebay gig, not enough time these days.

im currently in need of some ideas. i got 5K cash on hand and my ebay side job just went bust (again)
i was making quite the pretty penny on ebay & would still be doing so but ive had my second account just suspended yesterday *shakes fist* & of course without a reason as to why i was suspended.
in less than 2 months i pulled in an extra $1500 in my spare time. no joke. not bad considering i did it in my spare time clicking the mouse. & no its not against ebay rules either (which is why idk y i was suspended). they never give a reason or tell you how to appeal it.
im working on setting up another 1.
right now mj is my job. im working as a grower for a very small/local collective. i just maintain the collective garden and choose which strains are grown, etc. its a fantastic job but doesn't pay well (since they're so small they cant afford to pay me well enough) but i do it because i couldnt find this type of job anywhere else where i live & i love to grow so its win-win.
Im really hoping to invest some cash and make something of myself. I can't see myself slaving away in a 9-5 for a set figure for the rest of my life. my parents do that and they despise their existence half of the time and always stress about $$$. i dont wanna be that guy.
i can do lots of things pretty well (none really remarkably) and learn pretty fast if i get the chance to learn hands on.
i also bought a huge lot of liquidation merchandise (mostly things for ladies as i know they love to spend $) and im parting it out as we speak. my first order was for $250+ (haven't received it in the mail yet though but yeah).
so yeah i do it all lol just wish i could piece something together that pays better and doesnt have me doing 10 hustles at once.

You could try daytrading. I've been at it for a few years. Only the past 6 months have i been making some good money. Takes alot of time and patience to learn tho. That 5k could be gone in few minutes if you dont know what your doing.
But if you take the time to learn the patterns and stay very disciplined with your money managment you can make it. Which is alot easier said than done.

You are kind of sensitive for a trader LOL What is the difference? Isn't it a gamble of the odds? And unless you live in Rhode Is or Parump you gotta shop for a pretty hooker! Unless you of course can control the market there Dr. Evil....
