USAF vet 🇺🇸 | Proud dad 👶 | Bootstrapping a parking lot biz in CO. I wanted to buy but decided to build. Sharing systems, strategy & growth.
After months of hunting for the right business to buy, I’ve decided to build one instead! I’m bootstrapping a parking lot line striping company & I've already booked my first job that is scheduled for this Saturday!!! The reality is that it’s currently a seller’s market &…

Today I went into a pizza chain to follow-up on a quote I sent out about a month ago. The manager told me that she really wants to get her lot restriped, but that sales are down and the money just isn't there because they've had to repair roof damages. Line striping is a good…
Starting this business from nothing has been so much work, but I'm going to make more money this weekend doing line striping than I do in 2 weeks at my W2. Hard work pays off.

The owner of a local paving company reached out to me tonight asking me to do a job for them tomorrow, and the proceeded to offer me 50% of my quote as cash. He called me about this job last week, I asked him to send me the address and he never did. Now he wants me to do the…
All you have to do to lose weight and make money at the same time is start an outdoor services business that operates during the summer.
Shoveling in a calorie deficit = shoveling on hard mode. 20 lbs down this summer and am the strongest I’ve been in a while. Feeling good!

Big rewards require big sacrifices.
the only way I could make my SMB work (starting from scratch) was by moving back in with my parents at 35
Are there any decent contract lawyers on here? I'd like to have someone review and edit my contracts.
I would like to pay someone to walk me through the process of learning Google ads for local service biz Yes I can pay an agency etc, take classes etc but would prefer to learn by “pair programming” who should I talk to?
And it's the best thing in the entire world. I can't wait to take my baby girl fishing.

Another point for the conspiracy theorists. Their batting average is pretty good these days.
People on Twitter have been talking about premature organ harvesting for years. I’ll be honest, I thought it was a conspiracy theory. I was wrong. It’s real, and it’s horrific.
This is the first time I've pulled up to a job site, and I'm unable to stripe due to the job site not being clear. This is frustrating because I work M-F 9-5, and I wanted to get this done today so I don't have to do it before or after my W2. It explicitly states in my…
I got to finger paint today! I'm still mastering spraying the stencils by hand, so it splashed a bit and didn't look very good.. I don't have a little brush with me, so I just went for it, and it made a huge difference.
Before and after. People judge your business based on how it looks on the inside and outside. Take care of your parking lot.
