So doin my DD and asking for advice from people that have already done what i wanna do, before jumping in head first means it ain’t for me? :jbhmm:


So I should’ve just gotten a small business loan and opened something up, and made it work?


Good advice fellas. Appreciate that. :unimpressed:
Go on YouTube. There are people with channels who tell you wassup instead of coming on here. This isn't the place 80% of the time to ask for advice.

Thanks for your input.

I’m looking to start an LLC. I’m tired of workin for the man. A thread on dude opening up his own pressure washing business from last week got me feelin motivated. What are some companies that can be started, with minimal experience/lower ‘learn on the job’ time to be able to bring income in as quick as possible.

Based off what you wrote you want a shortcut to success. There are no short cuts. You say you are tired of working for the man but working for direct clients is often much worse. You need them more than they need you. Especially if there is a heavy customer service aspect to your business. You will be kissing your clients asses to make them happy and keep their money coming in. Go back to school or get some certs and get a better job. Business aint for you breh.

Part of your post is good advice, the other part is you assuming.


This is what I wanted from this thread. I’m in Florida. I wanted ideas on different types of small businesses that people are interested in, to see if it might spark up any ideas on my end. I’ve already got a few that I’m interested in.. but wanted to hear others.


And if people threw in their experiences and/or knowledge, it would make the thread even better. I’m not sure why you gotta keep telling me ‘business ain’t for you’ You don’t know me. You don’t know what resources I have. You don’t know what experience I have. You legit don’t know shyt about me. But you’re in here tryna downplay my moves, and I don’t know why. It’s almost like the AMC thread, when cats go in there and make fun of other brehs that are involved in the play, just because it hasn’t popped yet. Are you just a miserable type of person? Honest question. I already made it clear in the OP that I don’t have experience in this shyt yet. But I mean.. keep shytting on me if you want. :yeshrug: If that’s what’s gonna make you feel better.

I'll say this though. You have to love your Customer/Clients 100x more than you love your current Boss at work.
I soon realized that myself when it came to the point that I absolutely couldn't stand working under someone but absolutely loved talking with customers/clients and solving their problems. You have to literally enjoy the process of loving your customer's problems and loving the idea of fixing them

If you have that mindset and always remember that, you would do great

Anything, really. If you offer a service someone is willing to pay for, you’re good. It helps to tailor your business to the needs of the surrounding area. Up here in Mass, which is a state flush with colleges, proofreading is a service in great demand. During the winter, when it snows, shoveling is another service that generates a good deal of business.

Do make up or braid hair :wrist: it suits you.

You live in orlando so theres alot of tourism. Car detailing could be beneficial for a lot of Car owners and Turo lenders.

My friend works from home and repairs iphone screens. Dude makes a killing.

We are just also giving you a dose of reality breh ( and tough love ). Getting a business ideas from strangers is a recipe for disaster. to start thinking abt starting your own business
1 YOU have to identify a large need/demand
2 You have to be able to address that need profitably.

That is where it starts doesnt really matter what the business is. Do your homework on fulfilling a specific need first. Once you have that we can hep you better in how to do it. Being self-employed is hard so you have to be 100% committed and confident in your approach.
