He shut down his lawn service company. Went to work as a boat salesman at a marina. And began doing charter fishing at the same time. Built the business up while continuing to sell boats at the marina.
He started all this in 2001 from NOTHING (coming off a bad divorce with no money).
By 2005 he quit the marina and now is a successful charter boat fishing captain and making a fortune.
THAT is how you do it. But not everybody (worker bees) have that kind of drive, intelligence, and ambition.
He did.

how did he manage to get by between starting and getting all good lawn contracts? sure, like sly said a service business can cost next to nothing to start but it might not be what their business idea is and even still you need to make a living wage in the meantime to get by. if someone wanted to open a pizza place they'd need money for a lease, equipment, money to pay employees, business registration all before they make a dime. same goes for anyone who wants to manufacturer something. its much harder and therefore of course less will do it, and some who try and fail will be worse off for trying. only a small percentage actually succeed. as long as the have-nots feel they can't rise above to become a 'have', they will never agree with what you or minte is saying, no matter how much sense it makes.
