11 Proven Businesses My Viewers Started With Almost No Money

A year ago I asked you to email me if you started a business because of something you heard on this podcast. A lot of you did. In this solo episode I break down 11 of those stories, from a guy who turned broken brick mailboxes into $800K in two years while keeping his day job, to a $500K pickleball court company in Nebraska, a teacher whose Christmas light business out earned his salary, and a pumpkin porch business that flopped and why I'm proud of it anyway. For each one I cover what to charge, where to find your first customer, and the one tool you need, plus a lightning round of 10 more listener businesses.
