What if money actually does grow on trees?

See this tree?

It sells for $6,000
Apparently there’s an entire lux market for finding old cool trees, buying them, and then shipping them to mansions and hotels.

Can you buy tree futures??
Rewind a year and Marcus Kirby was a server at a Chicago Native Foods.

Now?

He’s the founder of The Succulent City, a houseplant store that’s raking in $15K a month.
In the past year alone, Google searches for indoor plants have skyrocketed and hashtags like #plantsofinstagram result in almost 10 million hits.
U.S. house plant sales have increased by 50 percent in the last 3 years, bringing collective spending value to a whopping $1.7 billion according to the National Gardening Association.
Want more info on how money is literally growing on trees?

1) quiet events can be goldmines
2) over the top on decorations and instagrammable moments
3) select rent out to influencers etc for filming and…
4) Podcast setup is legit
5) City with events is crucial

9 Lessons learned from my immigrant, gun-toting, multi-time CEO father:
Stan Sanchez.

A man who labored at a slaughterhouse, who built things with his hands until they bled and calloused.

Who cut stone, and led teams, who built businesses and eventually sold them.

Who created his own path.

Here are 9 rules my dad lived by:
#1: Not Armed & Dangerous, Armed Because the World Is Dangerous

He was in the Alaskan wilderness, guiding a hunter 100s of miles from civilization.

A noise broke the silence of the night.

It was a massive bear charging him.

Lesson: Civilize your mind, make savage your body.

55% of the US workforce anticipates looking for a new job soon.

Wages are increasing and companies are struggling to fill positions.

How should business owners handle this?

Time for a thread
The cost for losing 55% of your people is not small.

It can cost six to nine months’ salary to replace EACH employee who leaves.
So if a person makes $40,000 annually:

It’ll cost between $20,000 & $30,000 in recruitment & training costs for a new employee

Now multiply that by half of your team.

People always ask how I find my deals.

Truth - I'm no genius, it's the grind paired with a net.

Here's how:
Step 1: I got a Twitter DM from the business - they wanted me as a customer

Step 2: I loved the pitch and the niche, so I became a client

After a few months, I realized their service was awesome but operations were sh*t #toughlove
