People on here hating acting like they wouldn’t do the same for their kids 🤦🏻♂️ his parents obviously busted their ass and raised a kid that’s doing the same. If I’m ever super wealthy you better believe I’m going to do whatever I can to make sure I help my kid be successful, but they will have to put in the work just like this guy is doing.
I think that most people’s hang up is the fact he comes from money so therefore he had the money to start this business. Yes, he appears to have huffed it a little but, he’s just a figurehead now while the real work is done by his office workers and the really real work done by the the illegals working for him. He probably doesn’t even speak Spanish. Did you notice the short height and brown skin of his employees? He’s not hiring black or white Americans as they probably wouldn’t work for his company’s manual labor wage. Time is money but, he has his “people “ take extra control because he doesn’t trust his manual laborers. They are not allowed to stop at gas stations even to get snacks or drinks. It’s a chain-gang without the chains. They have to turn their personal vehicle keys in as a guarantee he’ll get his trucks back. He talks about the relationships. His is to his wealthy parents and his mother’s real estate company’s connections through her sales in the subdivisions. SHE is his “in” because the HOA’s will know the realtors. So he gets in and gets the HOA contract and hires a few office workers and a lot of low paid workers and he’s making the easy money. Oh, and that Latino truck driver that pulled forward when he walked up without warning and opened a side hatch on the work truck was probably gone at the end of the day especially with how many times the TH-camr brought it up. I say, more power to him but, don’t act like it’s some super impressive feat the kid did on his own. Trust me, I know the type. I was in a fraternity and had a roommate in college that was not the brightest bulb but, he did listen to his grandfather and followed in his footsteps straight into being CEO of his grandfather’s company when he died (his dad died earlier) never having worked ANY manual labor job at the company. The company controls around 60% of a highly profitable and always needed product in the US. I didn’t want to work in my family’s businesses and I paid my own way through college then worked for a few fortune 100 companies before going out on my own auditing corporations on their compliance to governmental regulations, international accounting standards, international manufacturing standards, international safety standards, and international IT standards. I sold out and retired early due to health (acute rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis) concerns. I now voluntarily without compensation visit area high schools and colleges to talk to students. I want them to think about what makes them happy and to think about how to hopefully turn that into a profitable career and happy life. It keeps my mind fresh and I enjoy the interactions learning about people’s aspirations.
@@SuperJMichael Not going to lie, that’s a long message for a TH-cam video, but yeah man anyone can work hard and build it from the ground up or go get a business loan. I saw you said something about illegal workers, you have no clue if they are illegal or not. I’ve worked with legal Hispanics and illegal and they work circles around anyone else but they choose to be there and are grateful for the work. This kid is helping those workers feed their families, I don’t see anything wrong with that.
@@SuperJMichaelbest comment , I picked up on all that stuff too, he said we have ice ! They have no reason to stop anywhere any time, so when these guys gotta piss they either hold it , or stop at a store and risk getting written up, or piss in a bottle and risk having a home owner see , then they are out of a job
This young man knows the metrics of his business and when a company grows to this size you only achieve efficiency when understand your time and cost in doing any task
daddy is a multi millionaire in hedge fund investment banking and large realty group owner...guess who got the property contracts for daddys realty business. plus he's using trumps 1980's techniques to bypass soooo many laws that he'd spend a life time in prison for
This kid is smart listening him speak took years for me to comprehend. I’m true believer don’t just buy something to say you got it, but because you need it to keep the wheels moving. Interest rates are high so only buy what you need. I do mostly residential at the moment want small commercial in the near future. I concentrate in one subdivision in Florida. Lucky ten years from now sky’s the limit. Keep grinding until the wheels fall off. God bless you.
There's probably more to it. When we decided to do HOA work, we had to have connections. We had to have someone on the inside who gave us and idea of the existing companys proposal so we could make a competitive proposal so we could obtain the account. From there on out, we learned the business and how to bid similar properties. There's nothing illegal about it if its private business. They wanted us to do the property. We didn't have the experience biding on those type of properties. It was mutually beneficial. Im sure the same went on here with his mother being plugged into the real estate industry. The property owners were probably patient with him while he was learning too. There's nothing wrong with this. This is the result of networking and having meaningful relationships with others.
absolutely impressive, best of luck .. im so small time . but you learn I'm 55 , learning from a 21 yr old . like they say , never to old to learn .. and today I did that , organization is everything. great point young man
Love the video. Well organized company. My only complaint is that he needs a better relationship with employees. I understand being proficient, but he didn't interact with any employees that helped him get where he is. No hello how are you or thank you for a wonderful job..... i own a business and know everyone by name and give positive reinforcements. Makes them feel more valued
the YT channel operator said he heavily edit the whole video into 2 parts at the end of part 1 because it was getting too long, so there is always alot we didn't get to see
Great work but they should have Yellow light bars on the roofs of their trucks for safety. It is easier to see yellow flashing lights on the top of the trucks vs just using emergency flashers.
So his parents worked hard and became successful then helped their kid grow a business that he’s killing it with and putting in the work, you’re telling me you wouldn’t do that for your kid? I feel like that’s every parents dream is to help their kid be successful and to have a kid that is willing to put in the work 🤷🏻♂️
@@DustToGloryPW never said that at all… I’d do the same for my kid. Im saying again if you read my comment, “It helps a lot”.. Nothing about what you clearly assumed or said.
@@Invertmini1212 Yeah I mean I didn’t see anywhere that he said his parents helped him out so I must have missed it but if they did then good for them. He’s still out there putting in the work
@@DustToGloryPW the most important things in life are what is not said..especially in the media...everything broadcasted you see hear and gets printed was paid for by very large sums of money in direct competition with other large sums of money to dangled before your eyes as a prized carrot. look at how much pharma spent to have their product names thrown around on House M.D. back then, and check them out now...many of them became banned for killing or injuring people.

Yeah, he didn't fall off the Turnup truck yesterday. His family either had or has ties in that industry I'm sure. Plus, the area that he's in, just about demands perfection in all aspects of the HOA department. What helps him out is he doesn't have to worry about communication with each and every home owner in each of the HOA's . That's a huge break for his business. Keep up the great work and continue to expand what you are doing. A lot of people will be trying to figure out what, how you got going and trying to duplicate it. Good luck and God bless
Well done Lucky with your incredible business that you have built. dont listen to the negative comments from people who don’t know you or what you have done to make a great business. I love it that you did not go to collage and were able to put together a great team of workers and plan. Mike Rowe would love to hear your story, a young man that built and great successful business and employing lots of people. We need more young people like you. Keep it up.
I'd be impressed with Austyn and his business sense, but the fact that he's 21 and starting running his own business as a teenager in high school blows my mind. Saying he's impressive is an understatement!
I could see Lucky landscaping could making more by doing a public garbage (the trash cans along/ on the path or the ones around a retaining pound) with a pick up (650 or 6500) pick up truck or make more doing pressuring washing.
It’s maximizing the HOA. Though you’re correct in saying it’s not landscaping. But could turn it to property maintenance. But belive he said he wants to maximize and focus on and be a one stop shop for HOA. I’m not trying to force him or anything but these services could be outsourced to a company that does do landscaping, pressure washing, tree work and more and all be in one company. From the HOA perspective also, I’d rather pay one company that’s good and I have a relationship with, to do the work then pay another company to hire 5 companies to do the work. Also from the business side, giving them a discount since they bundle, would work to his advantage. Cause if you’re stuck in one mindset of doing just one thing you’re not going to get far. For example, if you’re just cutting grass company’s then offer spring and fall clean ups because they wanna maximize their earnings and offer more services. Also, if you look at companies, growth is key so you could be stuck doing the same thing all day but if you’re growing and expanding with in your means and company. People meaning clients, employees will wanna stick with you and employees too. But if you do just landscape in commercial, companies either go with the least expensive option or go with the companies that are going to offer the most benefit to them while still offering a great service. Example, I was a security contractor at Walmart, they had a company come and street sweep, another pick up garbage from the bushes and non parking areas and then another company to do the landscaping and one more doing the snow. After talking with one of the guys that did the trash pick up from the bushes. He bought a street sweeper couple months later. He got 5 more Walmarts to pick garbage and street sweep. I asked him why do landscaping also and when I moved from Walmart to a different site. I had to cover a shift and he was doing the landscaping, snow removal, street sweeping, and garbage for like 20 Walmarts. All just his company was just there to do “one thing”.
The key here was the first guy. He had to be good enough to work by himself, but just of the mindset that he didn't want to run his own business. Without that right person to start with this would not have worked so well.
Y’all talking about his parents would be the same ones saying he’s a spoiled rich kid if he didn’t work and made videos pranking people. How bad does your life have to be in order for you to hate against someone working for a living? This kid with no help from mom and dad would easily be doing half of what he’s doing now at 2.5 million.
Really impressive on every level. I wonder if you asked him if he struggles with finding employees and how long the average guy stays with the company. I also wonder what he pays them?
Stop paying $100 a load to dump your tree clippings and stop paying for bagged mulch. Drop a couple hundred grand on a mulch tub grinder/dying machine combo, make bulk colored mulch at your facility and corner that market.
The problem with that would be bagging it. As he used the bagged mulch for a reason. It’s cleaner to work with and does a better job. As he is working no for up market hoa
If you could be so kind to see my comment above asking a question to this video I would be very grateful. I am 42 and have done this since age 11. I did put myself through college with a bachelors in landscape design and plant science. I toured the entire east coast with college sitting in on the largest companies round tables. We are up north south of Buffalo NY. Our struggle is employees. We don't have the work force. We do very well for ourselves but every year, we walk away to half of what we gross in potential work that is ours to have and not even work that is being asked for a price, its literally ours to have. We just can't land the workers. We don't have any hispanic work force here. I tip my hat to you and your company. I am amazed as a seasoned in the field worker and owner. Congratulations ! @@luckylandscaping
I know Austyn personally. The only things his parents supply him with his guidance. His parents contribute support but are not responsible for his growth. Not being in the Florida market I understand how these achievements seem out of reach without some sort of connection.
Well ran company I see you are excited about how fast they work, look at the people working 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 just saying all big companies that make millions have Hispanics workers 🇲🇽
Per my comment and dialogue above, I wish so badly I could have some workers as good as Hispanics. My company after 20 years would also be multi million dollar. We don't have that work force up north NY.
It's a difficult process to go through when getting approved for visa workers and doing everything legal. Sure, some immigrants get socials and even fake socials. It's just a sketchy game to play because if they do something bad and they aren't who you thought they were etc. not fun
I appreciate that reply. Have you personally gone through the process? The department of labor has called me to discuss getting Asylum seekers after they have been vetted but its a slow process and after a year and a half I still have not received any positive news on that.@@Lawn-Stewards
13:30...that over stretched damaged spring on the ramp of that truck is about to break...somebody could lose a hand or arm or leg or face eye ear over it....that's be an easy $5m lawsuit that chipper is over $130,000 new...really used it's $30,000+ i like how all the traffic is relaxed and not in a hurry and almost running people over....maybe they see the camera guy and they're all lawyers? the trailer light problem is the wires are for tiny 4x6 utility trailers with the most minimal copper wire and the worst junctions and connectors and grounds possible because they aren't weather proofed. the best advice i have heard was from a cajun guy who said to get 50-100' electrical cords from the box stores and 16-14-12 gauge depending upon how many axels, so 2 axels is 14 gauge because you are running trailer brakes, and rewire them and solder the connectors to the lights wires and then liquid tape them or use the solder wire connectors you can do with a heat gun. did that to my 1999 tandem axel H&R 16' car trailer in 2003 and just recently replaced the lights with ALL LED's a few years ago...have never had an issue with the wiring or lights..have had an 8pin to 6pin adapter fail tho but that's on the truck end so could have put an 8pin plug on despite only needing 6 pins, but this way it's one more theft deterrent or way for them to be caught.
I dont have hoa's like that around me. Most of the time, i won't do hoa's. I'll check what the customer pays to a hoa, and honestly, most of the time, they dont pay enough for me to even make a profit. So i stay away from them. But it seems like these kinds of hoa's will pay. For 100k $ rigs, im about to pay off my first truck to buy a second, and it's taken 4 years.
Per my comment above today, I understand and agree with your statement. HOA's here are a great way to work for pennies on the dollar. In early 2000's I had most all HOA''s in our area, I was teamed up with the largest real estate and property management company. Now, I happily have given every single one of them away. The young new companies all just want to work at the large properties, until they realize they literally are working for next to nothing compared to just working for single family homes. Also don't buy a single piece of equipment to serve that HOA specifically because when they see a slight increase in your proposal for next year, out the window you go for the next cheaper guy.
We are in the trash business! I started my first customer at 22 yo! Back then people couldn't believe I was the owner! It's really not that bad if you're willing to work and of course, be organized and responsible with your money! One of my past investors who was very wealthy told me once, that even though he had money even millionaires have their limits! Just bigger limits, but they have them! He's passed away now, but I'll always remember that for the rest of my life! Know your limits!
I think its the fact that it wasnt mentioned that his ppl own big real estate and got him these deals, instead you see it in the comments. He said somethin they dont promote on facebook, IG etc cause the ideal customers not on there then somethin about networkin… like was it you ACTUALLY networkin? Or was it “here son, ima start you with $100k, 5 properties and 5 POTENTIAL properties.. u get the other 5 by provin your worth to them”. Silver spoon BUTTTT nothin is wrong with that. Shaq told his son “u not rich, im rich”. Like u hot a head start cause the funds and knowledge snd connections ya parents have but u still gotta work. But I do wish yall mentioned tho that his parents started him off lol cause ppl who watch these videos, thats what we lookin for so we can make it there maybe😂
Rich customers we don't have that kind of customers here nor donwe have people that work like that they are lazy even when you pay them good this would never be possible in my area no way no how.
Who cares if his parents have money. Bunch of lazy people criticizing. This young guy is getting after it every day. I started poor and made it. My son will start with more than I did, so what. I raised him to be grateful and to work hard. Great video, go get it young man, you are doing great.
Cheap illegal labor is the only reason this kid is making money! He won't pay a real wage to a American worker, this is what Florida is all about. I know I lived in Florida for 40+ years!
When he said we go to the same restaurants as our customers, he meant the board members and such, not the peasants that live in the neighborhoods he services
5:37 bro… you PIAD!? Someone to take gold from you!? You are a boy genius, how did that part escape you? It’s ok. I hope you get this .. shoot dude I’m going to call you. You’re throwing away gold, someone needs to tell you. Mean while you buying!! Bagged mulch. I hope I get a commission on this little bit of kindness. Maybe it’s me? Maybe he knows something I don’t but you don’t pay someone else to take hardwood wood chips you sell them or use them.
If this were true, as a life long green industry professional myself, congratulations. I guarantee he still has to bid the job. Not a single HOA is going to just hand someone a contract without doing their DD and pricing. Then once landed he still has to properly serve that customer and meet or exceed expectations.
Way I look at it he may have some things that benefit him like his dads connections but his business has to perform and meet expectations or they wouldn’t be where they are
Why can't we have more young people like this in the US? Most of them want to sit around their parent's house and play video games. This guy is cut from the old cloth that made America Great back in the day.
He made a very good point at the end about people being legit. 80% of "Landscaping companies" are not a real businesses. Just because you make a business card does not make you a business. This industry is just going to keep getting harder and harder to get into because all of you suckers who just do cash/check have a rude awakening coming.
His parents are multi millionaires and mom owns a high end real estate company. He’s doing good but don’t let the video fool you that he started with a mower in the trunk of his versa…
I will never get to this point. My area is definitely over saturated. These people probably have the in. But he definitely knows his stuff. Parents or not, he's doing an awesome job.
People on here hating acting like they wouldn’t do the same for their kids 🤦🏻♂️ his parents obviously busted their ass and raised a kid that’s doing the same.

They are busy making money they don't want to be interrupted I know I don't want to be interrupted when I'm out landscaping
i bet there is a high turnover of staff in this type of job
They prob don't have much to do with him as much as the next guy down overseeing re their support and directing concerns etc...
the YT channel operator said he heavily edit the whole video into 2 parts at the end of part 1 because it was getting too long, so there is always alot we didn't get to see
He probably doesn’t speak Spanish. Look at the workers. All short and tan. Most are probably illegally here. He probably pays most of them $5/hour.
Great work but they should have Yellow light bars on the roofs of their trucks for safety. It is easier to see yellow flashing lights on the top of the trucks vs just using emergency flashers.
Yup and add 3 bright orange full sized cones spaced behind any parked truck. There are a lot of distracted drivers out there!
It helps alot when your family comes from wealth and can finance alot of your equipment etc.

Cause if you’re stuck in one mindset of doing just one thing you’re not going to get far. For example, if you’re just cutting grass company’s then offer spring and fall clean ups because they wanna maximize their earnings and offer more services.

Example, I was a security contractor at Walmart, they had a company come and street sweep, another pick up garbage from the bushes and non parking areas and then another company to do the landscaping and one more doing the snow. After talking with one of the guys that did the trash pick up from the bushes. He bought a street sweeper couple months later. He got 5 more Walmarts to pick garbage and street sweep. I asked him why do landscaping also and when I moved from Walmart to a different site. I had to cover a shift and he was doing the landscaping, snow removal, street sweeping, and garbage for like 20 Walmarts. All just his company was just there to do “one thing”.
Bro it’s a landscaping company, maybe he can start a underwater welding division, to make all the moneys , do car washes too
The key here was the first guy. He had to be good enough to work by himself, but just of the mindset that he didn't want to run his own business. Without that right person to start with this would not have worked so well.
Where do they use the bathroom?
Y’all talking about his parents would be the same ones saying he’s a spoiled rich kid if he didn’t work and made videos pranking people. How bad does your life have to be in order for you to hate against someone working for a living? This kid with no help from mom and dad would easily be doing half of what he’s doing now at 2.5 million.
What a amazing young man
Been waiting for this all week
Awesome content brother thank you!
Really impressive on every level. I wonder if you asked him if he struggles with finding employees and how long the average guy stays with the company. I also wonder what he pays them?

Stop paying $100 a load to dump your tree clippings and stop paying for bagged mulch. Drop a couple hundred grand on a mulch tub grinder/dying machine combo, make bulk colored mulch at your facility and corner that market.
Depends how prevalent feedstock material is. A lot of waste material in SoFlo is green.
The problem with that would be bagging it.
As he used the bagged mulch for a reason.
It’s cleaner to work with and does a better job.
As he is working no for up market hoa
Grinder and dying equipment like that is worth over a million
as the saying goes, if it aint broke, dont fix it. 😉
His competition is the largest Mexican family owned property management company on the east coast 🔥
What is the name of the Business ?
No such thing
East coast facilities
You’ll notice we are working on their maintenance job site 😂 I think that speaks… and they do trees!
If you could be so kind to see my comment above asking a question to this video I would be very grateful. I am 42 and have done this since age 11. I did put myself through college with a bachelors in landscape design and plant science. I toured the entire east coast with college sitting in on the largest companies round tables. We are up north south of Buffalo NY. Our struggle is employees. We don't have the work force. We do very well for ourselves but every year, we walk away to half of what we gross in potential work that is ours to have and not even work that is being asked for a price, its literally ours to have. We just can't land the workers. We don't have any hispanic work force here. I tip my hat to you and your company. I am amazed as a seasoned in the field worker and owner. Congratulations !
@@luckylandscaping
I know Austyn personally. The only things his parents supply him with his guidance. His parents contribute support but are not responsible for his growth. Not being in the Florida market I understand how these achievements seem out of reach without some sort of connection.
That’s great tbh my state I’m not sure you can pull that off I wish tbh
The people you higher make you or break you. That's why this guy is so successful he has good people
@@jamespapandrea8979 he has illegal workers
Oh yeah well money comes an money goes! I worked one season far landscape that was enough for me!
Bro thank you for pt2 I’ve been waiting for 1 week
How much do your employees make an hour
How does he pay his employees?
Probably gives the $ every week lol
thats coolna young hard working guy , Hi from Aruba🇦🇼🖐️🖐️🖐️
Is there a part 3?
I wish! More short videos coming to my Instagram!
Well ran company I see you are excited about how fast they work, look at the people working 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 just saying all big companies that make millions have Hispanics workers 🇲🇽
Facts I have 5 of them and pay them well and we are growing like crazy
Per my comment and dialogue above, I wish so badly I could have some workers as good as Hispanics. My company after 20 years would also be multi million dollar. We don't have that work force up north NY.
It's a difficult process to go through when getting approved for visa workers and doing everything legal. Sure, some immigrants get socials and even fake socials. It's just a sketchy game to play because if they do something bad and they aren't who you thought they were etc. not fun
I appreciate that reply. Have you personally gone through the process? The department of labor has called me to discuss getting Asylum seekers after they have been vetted but its a slow process and after a year and a half I still have not received any positive news on that.@@Lawn-Stewards
Latino and Caucasian are good workers, you just have to find them and pay them well 👌
Nobody answers the question how and where the 1st capital came from..
@5:03 lmaoooooo this kid was given everything.
13:30...that over stretched damaged spring on the ramp of that truck is about to break...somebody could lose a hand or arm or leg or face eye ear over it....that's be an easy $5m lawsuit
that chipper is over $130,000 new...really used it's $30,000+
i like how all the traffic is relaxed and not in a hurry and almost running people over....maybe they see the camera guy and they're all lawyers?
the trailer light problem is the wires are for tiny 4x6 utility trailers with the most minimal copper wire and the worst junctions and connectors and grounds possible because they aren't weather proofed. the best advice i have heard was from a cajun guy who said to get 50-100' electrical cords from the box stores and 16-14-12 gauge depending upon how many axels, so 2 axels is 14 gauge because you are running trailer brakes, and rewire them and solder the connectors to the lights wires and then liquid tape them or use the solder wire connectors you can do with a heat gun. did that to my 1999 tandem axel H&R 16' car trailer in 2003 and just recently replaced the lights with ALL LED's a few years ago...have never had an issue with the wiring or lights..have had an 8pin to 6pin adapter fail tho but that's on the truck end so could have put an 8pin plug on despite only needing 6 pins, but this way it's one more theft deterrent or way for them to be caught.
IF he is not feeling the wood chips he really should! Farms and homesteads needs those types of "waste".
Did he ever mention his start up cost and how many customers he had when he did?
I dont have hoa's like that around me. Most of the time, i won't do hoa's. I'll check what the customer pays to a hoa, and honestly, most of the time, they dont pay enough for me to even make a profit. So i stay away from them. But it seems like these kinds of hoa's will pay. For 100k $ rigs, im about to pay off my first truck to buy a second, and it's taken 4 years.
Per my comment above today, I understand and agree with your statement. HOA's here are a great way to work for pennies on the dollar. In early 2000's I had most all HOA''s in our area, I was teamed up with the largest real estate and property management company. Now, I happily have given every single one of them away. The young new companies all just want to work at the large properties, until they realize they literally are working for next to nothing compared to just working for single family homes. Also don't buy a single piece of equipment to serve that HOA specifically because when they see a slight increase in your proposal for next year, out the window you go for the next cheaper guy.
How long is that F250 bed? Geez. Really enjoyed these 2 videos. This young man is a rock star and well grounded.
Does he own a lawn equipment store too?
Yes in port st lucie
ECF Photo Bomb!
Was thinking the same thing.
I'm impressed!)))))
We are in the trash business! I started my first customer at 22 yo! Back then people couldn't believe I was the owner! It's really not that bad if you're willing to work and of course, be organized and responsible with your money! One of my past investors who was very wealthy told me once, that even though he had money even millionaires have their limits! Just bigger limits, but they have them! He's passed away now, but I'll always remember that for the rest of my life! Know your limits!
Speechless...
Very good video. Thank you for sharing
Show a business thriving after 10-15 years
I think its the fact that it wasnt mentioned that his ppl own big real estate and got him these deals, instead you see it in the comments. He said somethin they dont promote on facebook, IG etc cause the ideal customers not on there then somethin about networkin… like was it you ACTUALLY networkin? Or was it “here son, ima start you with $100k, 5 properties and 5 POTENTIAL properties.. u get the other 5 by provin your worth to them”. Silver spoon BUTTTT nothin is wrong with that. Shaq told his son “u not rich, im rich”. Like u hot a head start cause the funds and knowledge snd connections ya parents have but u still gotta work. But I do wish yall mentioned tho that his parents started him off lol cause ppl who watch these videos, thats what we lookin for so we can make it there maybe😂
My guess is that truck is more than 100k, never mind the wrap
And you need a CDL to drive it too
@belmar253 not one of them got license let a lone a cdl
Awesome company
I'm impressed! Looks like Austin has some great systems in place!
Very Impressive!
Rich customers we don't have that kind of customers here nor donwe have people that work like that they are lazy even when you pay them good this would never be possible in my area no way no how.
Who cares if his parents have money. Bunch of lazy people criticizing. This young guy is getting after it every day. I started poor and made it. My son will start with more than I did, so what. I raised him to be grateful and to work hard. Great video, go get it young man, you are doing great.
No wonder this dude is killing it.
He’s a Pat Mahomes, Johnny Manziel, Elon musk, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Jimmy newtrons love child.
We need Trump back so we can get better bank rates and a find away to employ people and run more small companies like his.
This guy is super smart and a efficient business owner! It shows
No ones going to comment on the ECF Truck?
Totally Impressed!!
Backed by millionaire parents helps 😂😂
The poor and bitter hate the rich, but want to be rich 😂
We all eat at the same restaurants. Wow
Its called DELIGATION
austyn is great, very inspiring
Cheap illegal labor is the only reason this kid is making money! He won't pay a real wage to a American worker, this is what Florida is all about. I know I lived in Florida for 40+ years!
He couldnt answer how do find the decision maker from the HOA to get the business , he couldnt say " my parents " .
Wonder how much hes pays his employees did u ask him that?
No parking in front of hydrant lol
The secret are his parents, that's easy to fig out.
They may have provided some funding but clearly, he’s doing the work
When he said we go to the same restaurants as our customers, he meant the board members and such, not the peasants that live in the neighborhoods he services
Peasants don’t live in those neighborhoods
Anyone know Austin's Facebook page?
I wonder how much his employees make.
that`s awesome
Mexico 🇲🇽💪🏽
Messicans have to come to America to be successful... wierd Allegiance to country who keeps you and wants you poor
5:37 bro… you PIAD!? Someone to take gold from you!? You are a boy genius, how did that part escape you? It’s ok. I hope you get this .. shoot dude I’m going to call you. You’re throwing away gold, someone needs to tell you. Mean while you buying!! Bagged mulch. I hope I get a commission on this little bit of kindness. Maybe it’s me? Maybe he knows something I don’t but you don’t pay someone else to take hardwood wood chips you sell them or use them.
Most of the guys probably dont even know hes the owner lol
His dad runs most of the the hoa places he mows
If this were true, as a life long green industry professional myself, congratulations. I guarantee he still has to bid the job. Not a single HOA is going to just hand someone a contract without doing their DD and pricing. Then once landed he still has to properly serve that customer and meet or exceed expectations.
Way I look at it he may have some things that benefit him like his dads connections but his business has to perform and meet expectations or they wouldn’t be where they are
@@tradingonahunch9715his dad and mom
This kid had a good head on his shoulders. Very impressive!
Foot on the door. Daddy helped.
Why can't we have more young people like this in the US? Most of them want to sit around their parent's house and play video games. This guy is cut from the old cloth that made America Great back in the day.
The kid said it’s all about relationships. Yep. His relationship to his wealthy West Palm Beach parents.
He doesn’t interact with “the little people.”
This is badass. Nice work Austyn!
wait whaaat 100k on a chipper alone is crazy to me
5 million plus a year do the math
The interruption for dog poop questions in the middle of Austyn’s explanation was just weird
Thats how it is in Venice Florida where i live. All the newer communities are all HOA gated communities.
great business but would suck to lose one of those hoa community could be bad
The truck didn't stop because he was blocking a one lane road
There’s more to the story than that he didn’t start the business there’s just not a possible way
Great video
He made a very good point at the end about people being legit. 80% of "Landscaping companies" are not a real businesses. Just because you make a business card does not make you a business. This industry is just going to keep getting harder and harder to get into because all of you suckers who just do cash/check have a rude awakening coming.
His parents are multi millionaires and mom owns a high end real estate company. He’s doing good but don’t let the video fool you that he started with a mower in the trunk of his versa…
So whats your point?
AND? All other kids with wealthy parents are sitting on their lazy a** waiting for handouts and waiting for parents to die!
Context always matters.
I will never get to this point. My area is definitely over saturated. These people probably have the in. But he definitely knows his stuff. Parents or not, he's doing an awesome job.
Don’t be jealous please please 😉
