Started Two More Businesses During The Pandemic. It's paying off.

Hey Y'all

Here's some encouragement for those who are on the fence, down and out, or just getting started. The pandemic has plagued a lot of us financially. We all have friends and family members who suffered significantly, it has been very sad to see this happen. As bad as the pandemic has been, it has created the greatest opportunity to start a business. Which I did, two of them construction and landscaping. I founded these companies with my best friend and my older brother. My phone hasn't stopped ringing, no one wants to work except us and people know it. We are on track this month to gross 20k in construction services. (I know its a small amount for your multimillionaires out there but it's not bad for us young guys!) Our goal is to end the year netting 50k in profit. 

Some of you know, I own two properties, a duplex I Airbnb and a 4 unit. I've hit record breaking bookings, October has been my best month I grossed over 4k. Since March I've grossed 3-3.5k a month. I normally make somewhere between 2k-2.5k on a good month pre-pandemic.  Can't complain at all. 

For you young people (and older!) get out there and hustle, there is too much money to be made right now! If you're willing to work for it. My family is blessed with the bounty we've collected with the seeds we sown.. This can be your family too! I encourage all of you to keep moving towards your goals of financial freedom.  

Oh and to my former bosses who fired me, thank you! You got me on the right path and I can't be happier.
