Need your guys input on a business decision

[Obs]

most millionaires are diversified and self employed . I became a self made millionaire at 33 years old (just barely though, net worth was 1.3 mil , so just barely got into that wealth bracket).. I have not had a 9-5 job since I was 20 years old. I started my own businesses and investing at 21. real estate was a big part of that as I was able to purchase my first house at 21 years old (which is the youngest person I know), and it wasn't some crappy condo, it was a custom built house on 2 acres of prime rocky mountain land just 30 mins outside of a major metropoliton area. its prime real estate now. I had purchased it 20 years ago . but I sold it when I was like 23, made $ then bought another house that was a fixer upper ,, fixed it up sold it made $ again,, bought another house, same thing. I was moving every couple of years. then I stopped selling houses and kept them and turned them into rental properties or lease to own properties. and I'm not talking low income shit holes, I'm talking houses that I had built that were 6 bed 5 bath with brazillina cherry wood floors and granite counter tops, etc.. the works.
I then developed a pretty good profile of investments and went into stocks and mutual funds, IRA's etc.. and of course ran several business I started (mainly commercial contracting focused .. I owned a commercial HVAC company for 18 years, specializing in a lot of high end stuff , did a lot with medical buildings, clean rooms, building automation and DDC control systems etc.. also owned a building maintenance company . and heck even a commercial snow plowing business)..

my point .. being a millionaire generally requires a whole lot of diversification . there are a whole lot of doctors and lawyers that make 250k per year that are not millionaires simply because they lack the diversification , the more they make the more they spend and thus they never really make any $


now I'm just a lowly gym owner and trainer and coach.. I don't make shit for $ and lost all my wealth due to injuries, surgeries, and 3 years of negative health problems and a bad addiction to prescription pain pills.
but heck I enjoy what I do . its my passion. I provide for my 4 kids and pay the bills and make ends meet.. I can still afford a few luxury items in life like a couple nice cars and my gun collection. but my tax returns are no longer 90 pages long, I don't own 2 million in real estate anymore (heck I'm a lowly renter), and I'm kinda happier for it .. less headaches

An "employed millionaire" is a kiss ass hanging by a thread.

The ones I respect started with zero and went to a million or millions per month from nothing.
I mean nothing.
No co-signer, no credit. Just balls, drive, and a checkbook.

My point is I have heard so many say it that are politically unaffiliated, something has to be coming.
Politically unaffiliated means they realize it doesn't matter because they are politicians and appeal to the masses. Money is their motivator.

They know trends and people. They dont have friends, just business acquaintances and hired bitches that strive for them that think they are their best buddy. Lol

I studied the shit out of them and used to bust my ass to impress them until I understood the game, then left employment.

Large commercial construction projects are planned years in advance and huge contracts for bid have been totally withdrawn the past year. These are market predictors to the people who create the economy well before it takes effect.

Little business is always two steps behind huge business with plans for future endeavors.

"Omg the economy is booming!" always comes before a crash.

This is why you see the idiots two steps behind and common folk blaming the current administration for something that was set into motion years previously.

Few will ever truly be self made.
There was usually a co-signer involved or capital from parents that set it into motion.

Richest man I know personally was newly divorced and living in an apartment with a $10k backhoe and a piece of shit truck 10 years ago



Gotta have a loud speaker to hear this video but Ice T lays out business strategy 100% from employed to self employed.

You already know this but the employed usually don't.

LOL .. this is very true . this is actually part of my own personal downfall. at the end of the day I ran out of enough people with talent that I could "pimp out" .. simply put , no one around had the talent or skills. I was offering pay of $40 per hour, 3k signing bonus, company vehicles, all the benefits, etc.. but there was just no one qualified to do the work . I over extended myself in being involved in to high of a field with not near enough qualified people to support it..

so if your going to be a pimp , you need to first make sure there are plenty of hot hoes around first and foremost

I will stuggle with hoes until I break my back.
I was a good hoe.
I was "prince" walking in when the label holders were slapping him on the back in front of the other hoes to make them try harder, because I was gonna impress my pimp at all costs and be the best little hoe out there.

Wiggled my ass just right.
Just a stepping stone in learning the game and just about everyone has to do it unless they are born into it.

Though I know some rich people that pimp their own children out.

I'm like you . I started out as a hard working mofo.. I grew up in a basic blue collar low class family. 2 days after I graduated high school I was working for a commercial hvac company and was an official "union" member (I had applied months in advance).. my first construction job was retrofitting a large high schools hvac system.. well I think my boss wanted to just see what I was made of (or just wanted to give me something to do) and it became my full time job to dig a 5 foot deep 4 foot wide ditch about 100 feet from the boiller room to an adjacent outbuilding.. that way new boiler and chiller lines can be set.

umm . don't they make tractors to do that shit in just a day . of course. but I fucking dug that bitch myself alone by hand 9 hours a day every single day until it was done.
after I did that shit so quickly without even a hint of complaining.. the boss gave me the keys to his company truck and made me his personal assistant. I was no longer digging ditches just cause I was a young newb, I was hands on learning the ends and outs of commercial hvac at an advanced level.
I moved up the ranks extremely quick to the point I started my own business at 21 .. my friends from high school were still living at home working odd ends jobs and drinking and partying all the time.. I on the other hand just dug the shit out of that ditch that had to be made , that work ethic and mind set made me successful
