And a great way to get rich is to make YouTube videos claiming to know all the secret ways to get rich.

To make real money, you've basically got two paths: either do something that very few other people can do—like brain surgery—or be willing to do the kind of work most people don’t want to touch (like the stories in this video).
But the real money is in the overlap: when you can do something that almost nobody else is capable of and that almost nobody else wants to do. That’s the spot where you get to name your own price and actually rake it in.

I could pressure wash all day long, that sense of immediate gratification really feeds my ADHD inner child!

Tried a lawn service for a few years. When they say "no competition", take that with a boulder of salt.

The real barrier to entry for these businesses isn't capital or skill it's ego. Most people would rather tell everyone at a party they're 'building an AI tech startup' (making $0) than admit they stripe parking lots or clean grease traps for $20,000 a month. Ego is a very expensive luxury.

I have done landscaping and you are right I worked for a guy and after, I convinced him to get good equipment and take a class on how to do it correctly if he was going to plant plants. He had an animal science degree I had a horticulture degree

My son in law started up a shredding business in a small community. His major customers are the banks and large companies that need to have confidential information shredded or destroyed. He is doing very well and he finds that his customers are in fact repeat type that need the service on a periodic basis. Start up was a bit coistly in that he had to buy a shredding machine and truck but he is at the point of possibly needing another worker besides himself to work the business. I would have never thought of shredding as a business.

Basically doing work that others cannot do or won't do.

All these ideas are valid. I can tell you as a small business owner. The most difficult part running a small business, is finding the people to do the work. To scale any business you need employees. People that you can rely on to show up, be on time, act in professional manner. This is the most difficult part. Id like to see a video on how to find people that want to work. Not people that say they want to work, but actually want to work.

21:30 This is the unique advantage.Convincing people and getting clients is no easy job. He had a friend who painted houses. What the person seeking first customers has no friends or none of them have any contacts.

Everyone of these businesses are way to saturated especially in florida. But landscaping and pressure washing especially and its a race to the bottom with how saturated it is now days.

You can turn landscaping into a year round business. You mow the lawns, remove weeds, and trim the bushes, during the warm
months. Then in the autumn, you rake, and bag leaves. Finally, when the cold weather hits, you use a snowblower, or a shovel, to clear walkways, and get a snowplow attachment for a pickup truck, for driveways, or parking lots. Even without the plow, you could still clear driveways, using just a blower. The point is, there’s money to be made year round.
