How can $600 turn into thousands?
Let’s start by saying, holy cow!
I came home from work a couple months ago, I had to tell my wife that I had just spent $600 on lawn equipment and didn’t talk to her first. Man, do you want to see someone get super angry? Do that!
We had a talk about it and I assured her it was going to be fine. My plan was to pick up a couple lawns a week and pay back what I took from the account. You can insert Facebook here!
I then turned to Facebook and the surrounding communities to look for lawns to mow. The replies were unrelenting and I quickly paid back the money I took without asking the wife first. These lawns that I picked up turned into building decks and remodeling homes.
Now in the short timeframe this has gone, I have two companies, one landscaping and one construction. I have landed a couple of pretty big contracts for multiple buildings to remodel and I just put in my notice at my full time job.
I plan on within a year to begin investing in properties with my own capital and growing even bigger.
I just wanted to let everyone know that with a little extra work and a solid plan you can accomplish your goals! I already have solid income and a future plan that will help my family be more stable and I can show others how I did it!
