Called a guy to remove a tree from my yard He charged $750 Asked how many he does per week “Oh God, are you one of those morons who post about how easy it is to make six figures in the trades by assuming I’m fully booked and have zero costs? You know what, I’m actually going to charge you $1,750 for this job or I'll just let the tree fall into your roof.” Incredible. $1,750 for just a few minutes of work. Imagine if he does just 10 other jobs aweek. That’s $70k+ per month. Almost amillion a year. I need to get into tree trimming!

    "Lawrence, what would you do if you had a million dollars?"

    "I'll tell you what I'd do, man. Two trees at the same time, man!"

    Alright so when the wood chipper sheds the tree all these extra bark chips just get tossed out. So we simplified the whole thing, we rounded them all down, drop the remainder into an account we opened.

    Ugh, my brother is this type of person. Everywhere we go, he's like "You know, this place probably just prints money. If they're charging each one of us $X and they do this amount of business all the time, that's millions every year! We could easily do this and probably double that if we really tried."
