You don’t need an MBA or tons of money to start a business.

I recently had Chris Koerner on the pod and he showed me three regular 6-figure side hustles anyone can start THIS weekend.

Here they are (with real examples):

Porch Decorations

Rich people want their houses to look amazing, but they're too busy (or lazy) to do it themselves.

That’s where this mom Chris found comes in:

- She buys wholesale pumpkins by the truckload
- Decorates porches
- Films it on her iPhone and uploads to Instagram

She charges $600-1,300 per porch and makes $1M+ a year from this side hustle.

Isn’t that wild?

You can expand this beyond pumpkins to:

- Christmas decorations
- Easter displays
- Quarterly flower swaps

All you need to start is $500 for supplies and an Instagram account.

You'll probably be working weekends. But find me a business without problems.

Appliance Rental

Some people with appliance hookups don't want to buy washers/dryers.

They're afraid they'll break or they're moving in 6 months.

Chris told me about someone who:

- Goes on Facebook Marketplace
- Gets free washers/dryers from people who are moving
- Then rents them for $100-200/month

He makes six figures working 5 hours per week.

His biggest expense is gas for his truck.

You can literally start this with $0 if people are giving appliances away (which they do constantly).

The con is you'll be carrying heavy stuff up stairs in the heat.

It's going to suck, but being broke sucks more.

B2B Service Unbundling

The flywheel here is simple:

- Find a business
- Find what they hate doing most
- Do only that thing

People will pay you to remove work from their plate. Here’s an example:

HVAC companies have to clean coils as part of their service contracts.

It requires water hookups and chemicals. Plus, it disrupts their whole workflow.

This is where YOU come in.

That’s why this pressure washer guy (mentioned in the clip above) solely does coil cleaning for HVAC companies.

Now he handles every grocery store in his area and makes $500-600k annually.

He never loses customers because he solved their biggest headache.

The pattern here isn't complicated:

All three found:

• Something people already pay for (and made it better/easier)
• Or something people hate doing (and did it for them)

They just paid attention and removed friction.

Anyone can do this. Especially you.

Want to learn more about these businesses?

Chris Koerner (@mhp_guy) and I did a full deep dive on a pod together, I know you’ll love it… also give him a follow he’s got wild ideas.

I’m obsessed with laundromats.

I've made more money from dirty laundry than most finance bros make on Wall Street.

Here’s the playbook I always use to find profitable laundromats:

Quick disclaimer…we’re going to skip a few steps today.

We’re jumping right into the part of the biz buying process where you’ve found a biz that you could buy…

Now we’re going to check if you SHOULD buy it.

Follow these 5 steps:

Step 1. Use my deal calculator

The difference between buying a cashflowing biz & a lemon:

Good financials.

Most buyers get emotional and skip the numbers.

But that's how you end up with a $200K washing machine graveyard.

Meet Taylor Sheridan.

15 years ago, he was sleeping in a tent and got rejected by every production company.

Today, he owns a $500M empire and charges Paramount to film on his ranch.

Here’s his story (and what you can learn from it):

Most people think you need money to make money.

Taylor Sheridan (and countless others) prove that’s false.

You need LEVERAGE to make money.

Here's the Leverage Ladder framework Taylor Sheridan used to build his wealth:

1. Create Something Of Value

At 40, Taylor was the poster child for struggling actor. Then he had a few hits, Sicario being one… but that did not make an empire.

So, instead of waiting for someone to discover him, he wrote a drama about a rancher protecting his land and he changed his deal structure.

Nobody cared though.

HBO and every major network passed on his script.

If you follow where rich people put their money, you’ll never go broke.

Here's the unsexy asset class private equity billionaires & millionaires are flocking to:

For decades, PE meant massive funds buying massive companies:

• KKR buys RJR Nabisco for $25B
• Blackstone acquires Hilton for $26B
• Apollo takes Harrah's private for $27.8B

The formula was simple: Big money buys big companies, adds big debt, cuts costs.

But now? These same Wall Street sharks are swimming downstream - raiding Main Street and buying...

• Your local car wash chain
• Boring IT providers with 20 employees
• That HVAC company with the annoying radio ads

And they're not being quiet about it…

I just heard an acquisition story that made my heart melt.

Meet Cody:

• 6-year veteran
• #2 at a production company in California
• Runs the show while his boss lives in Utah

Here’s how he went from employee to owner of a biz in 90 days:

After 12 years of building someone else's empire, Cody landed on our content about ownership.

He’s been leading operations at a production company so he definitely has experience running a business.

So I don’t blame him when the idea of ownership struck a cord with him.

At the time, Cody and his wife had been saving for a house so it wasn’t like they had tons of extra cash laying around.

But after having a chat, they decided to use their house fund to buy a cashflowing business instead.

Not an easy task. But nothing worth doing ever is…

You want to get rich... build relationships with people in finance.

They understand the game of money.

7 acquisition terms you should know to speak their language:

Free Cash Flow (FCF)

If you're going to be obsessed with any number in your biz, it should be this one.

It's the cash left over after you've paid all operating expenses and capital expenditures (building improvements, vehicle purchases, etc.)

= Operating Cash Flow − CapEx

Net profit - aka net income

It’s the total earnings (profit) calculated after subtracting costs from revenue.

Costs here = COGS, depreciation, interest, taxes and all other expenses

This is the true profit.

This is the ONE strategy that’s made:

• Warren Buffett one of the greatest investors of all time
• Amazon a trillion-dollar company
• Zuckerberg a billionaire

Any person who doesn’t know this model is missing out.

Here’s how it works:

To show you why this strategy works, I want us to look at the wealthiest people on earth.

Why? Because success leaves clues.

And if you copy what successful people do, chances are you’ll be more successful.

Here’s a breakdown of how each of them reached billionaire status:

1. Elon Musk

• SpaceX: founded in 2002
• Tesla: Top shareholder, CEO since 2008
• Boring Company: Founded in 2016
• Neuralink: Also founded in 2016
• Twitter: Bought for $44B in 2022
