    I’m 22 and I’ve recently been put in charge of running my fathers moving company. The last part about feeling lonely and not good enough really spoke to me. I really appreciate the content you are putting out there! I’m going to keep pushing!

    Very true. Recently I moved and i have a huge yard. Reached out to 12 dif. landscape businesses and 1 replied. Before contacting any of them I researched a average cost. The one guy who replied tried to charge me 30% more than the average. I found a reasonable service 50 miles away cheaper than what this local guy wanted.

    @lorigraham8127 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Totally agree. I rent all my trucks. I have been asked alot why i do that instead of buying my own. For me, it's alot less overhead. Then i don't have the headache of repairs if something breaks down. I have specific people i go through for those rentals as well. That way i keep the same faces and it helps them out as well. Very cool of you to do the breakdown!! Congratulations on the new ventures. Hope everything works out well for you.

    I am legally blind (Visually Impaired), and I've been thinking about starting up a storage business. I feel like it may be the one business worth owning that wouldn't require me to do too much except paying taxes. Americans have a lot of things they want to hold on to.

  • @patrickdevine8020

    Been in the moving business my whole life. The fastest way to go bankrupt in the moving industry is to get to greedy and have crazy high monthly expenses- thinking that high expenses always bring in high profits. Bruh better hope something like the 08 housing bubble doesn’t happen again, otherwise your gonna be super beat with no jobs coming in and high monthly expenses.

    • @patrickdevine8020
      @patrickdevine8020 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The moving business is a risky business heavily reliant on the housing industry. When the markets good it’s great when the markets bad it’s a living hell that will run you dry. The most successful moving companies know this and keep smaller operations so when bad markets come they can survive with low monthly expenses. Moving business that grow to big too fast never make it in the long run because they never anticipate for the work to slow down and trust me it always slows down at some point, however it also always comes back eventually.
