To be an Entrepreneur, you Don't have to have an online business... I promise

When everyone is starting online businesses, it leaves a HUGE gap of opportunity in the offline space!

I recently posted asking about people's interest in Blue Collar businesses and was pretty surprised with the volume of feedback. https://redd.it/6cj2m1

I received many messages and requests to move forward with my idea of putting together an small platform or community that is revolved around exposing the opportunities that lie in the service based "Blue Collar" trades. Showcasing businesses like mine, a Cabinet Remodeling business, that are bringing in multiple 6 figures and WAY beyond, built off of systems of proficiency and efficiency. Businesses that can be very simple and easy to manage.

I have friends who have multiple 6 figure businesses around trades like Residential painting, Lawn Care, Pressure washing, Tree removal, etc. with success from the getgo because they focus on their strengths...

Do what you're good at, and hire what you're not.

We have small teams, who we treat like family!

I currently have a Cabinet Remodeling company that I started almost a year ago, we've brought in almost 500k so far with a 4 person team. I have a few guys that love making cabinets and a sales person. I focus on steering the ship, and reading non fiction books all day lol (trying to get into fiction too)

Yes, I do have an amazon store too but the cabinet business is what literally changed my life. I tried the online stuff for a while with no success but it was when I applied online concepts and strategies to an offline business, was when I had instant success.

I think there are a lot of people who are failing with the online get rich quick things (like I did) , or who think that have to build the next app, who could really have their lives completely changed by building a simple and profitable business like mine. Not EVERYONE wants to build a million dollar empire, maybe they would be happy with making a couple hundred k per year?

Anyways, I'm starting to sound "Salsey". In my rant on my last post: https://redd.it/6cj2m1 I realized after the fact, I didn't have a good way to reach back out to all the people who were interested... So I made a simply sign up page, you can message me if you want the link.

I want to call the platform/community, BlueBoss

Partly because it combines "Blue Collar" with Entrepreneurship, and partly because it make me think of "Blue Balls" which I think is humorous.

PM me if you want the link

No, I'm not an online marketer who is going to spam you "Until you BUY, or DIE!!!" lol - Wolf of Wallstreet reference

My plan is to build a simple platform that showcases people who own businesses in the offline space like mine. It will include interviews in video or audio that goes over their process and how they got to be as successful as they are. This will be a way to expose the opportunities but also educate people how to get started. MOST IMPORTANTLY, to show people that it's not as difficult as you may think it is.

If I can show other offline business owners the amount of people who want to hear their story, they will probably give me the time of day to tell us their strategies of success.

If you want me to keep you updated let me know

peace.
