Doing what others take for granted or don’t want to do is a money maker,damn near recession proof moneymaker.

I don’t know if it’s a Black thing as much as a lot of people don’t see the value or the money in dirty jobs. Blue collar hasn’t been popular since they finished the railroad. Over time the idea of these kind of jobs have been associated with being a idiot of some sort. As a result most people regardless of race don’t take pride in taking out the trash, mowing lawns, running a restaurant and damn near all service jobs.

A lot of people are ashamed to be thierselves especially when it’s tied into a stereotype. But if you own it and you make 30K a month off of it then all of those issues fade away as you walk out your backdoor onto the beach in Malibu.

This reminds me of my boy with the septic tank company.
Of the two ways of making money (Doing what others can’t do (usually takes years or decades of training at a high cost), or doing what others don’t want to do (Usually take volition.)), this lost start up to revenue option make the most sense.
I live in a neighborhood of workers (plumbers, concrete, landscaping, et.al.) who live next to doctors and judges.
But these men (and women) who started their own companies don’t have $100k in school loan debt.

IMO- Most Blacks feel as though they’ll be seen as “Eating Fried Chicken” by other Blacks or whites when it comes to doing work.
Even though they like the chicken (The pay of doing honest hard work), many only wish to be seen as the Master who only eats the finest foods (Fakin’ da funk with a car that is worth more than your house).

The funny thing is, those who were fakin’ it (Following the Western economic model) are the one’s most hurt by the current recession.

I agree the set asides if looked for could be a gold rush for the person who is ready to receive. For this hustle I believe anyone who looks into it can build slowly and make a pretty good living with just 3 parking lots. As usual it’ll take another kind of cat to get 30K a month but nonetheless it’s doable.

I shocked that people pay 3K a month but it turns into 100 bucks a night and that’s doable. Besides the inconvenience of doing this at midnight every night you could be done and enjoy your life in the day. It’s a great hustle for a man looking to supplement his family. It’s definitely a builder for sure.

LOL at the comment where he said people trying to hook him up with their daughter!

One thing that needs to be noted is many of these firms have contracts with the government and they are mandated to set aside contracts for minorities and disabled veterans.

I agree with all of these empty commercial spaces, they need to make it look and stay clean to attract business so this is a service in demand.

Kudos to the guy for using 10K to do for self and it is a lot better to be cleaning up trash as your own business than sitting in a office listening to some middle manager telling you they giving you a salary pay cut less than your counterparts this year because you did a good job…

Man the hustle fits the low to ground blueprint. It fits the needs blueprint. It fits the quiet money blueprint. It’s a 3 star hustle because you can bubble with this quietly and build a company that can have a area on lock. It’s a great idea to keep on deck as you build your empire because building anything that has to deal with customers begets this hustle.

See I wouldn’t have thought about that because I thought those machines cost to much but since the recession I wouldn’t doubt you couldn’t lease one and make some quick money. I bet you there’s some money even in the areas that are closed down because of the recession because they still have to keep it up otherwise it becomes a blight on the city!

Hmmm something to think about for up here because we got hit real hard by the recession in the bay.

@Jose – Welcome! Yeah but if NY gets a sweeper like this the Union or the Mafia is going to strong arm them. Better stick to the outskirts. Manhattan could use the ones that are on the sidewalks and even then you would create a monstrous trash heap because NYers are filthy people period.

@Keish – Jersey is just lazy bcuz the area is not all that big to not be clean especially Jersey City.

@Carl – Anyone with ideas is going to be the guru. Thanks for the compliment it’s stuff I talk about in passing but people usually shut me down because they think it’s stupid. On here I can throw out ideas and since you guys don’t know me you evaluate them on their merits and we get a truer response.

Well thanks for LETTING ERR BODY KNOW! LMBAO

The funny thing is that in the last month I’ve had 2 friends ask me what they should do with $10K that they suddenly got. Like I’m the money guru or something. So after they shot down my initial suggestion to get it all in $1s and make it rain at a local strip club (just kidding); I had to recommend that they buy some dirt cheap rental property and buy some of that bargain-basement priced auto stock (Ford and GM). I also immediately told them to check out your site. Stuff like this is exactly why I (as you put it) “let every body know..” about this blog. You’re doing a fantastic job man, keep it up!
