10 Businesses To Start BEFORE You Get Laid Off In 2024

[@conorcusick5807]

23-year-old hustle here! College grad, full-time salesman, and now Baltimore's newest junk removal king (unofficial title, of course). Launched this cleaning side project with just a U-Haul trailer and some muscle. Loving the workout, the sales pitch practice, and seeing my city shine again. Next stop: commercial contracts and a subscription service for Baltimore's bulk-hauling needs. Big thanks to you for inspiring the leap!

Investments are the roots of financial security; the deeper they grow, the stronger your future will be."

[@RobertAnthonyD2]

The deeper your investment roots, the stronger your financial security will be in the future.

[@MargaretOlivia2u]

Exactly! With my adviser, I’ve cultivated deep investment roots, strengthening my financial security for the future.

[@JosephEricx2y]

I would love an introduction to an adviser who can help me strengthen my financial roots.

[@MargaretOlivia2u]

My CFA NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further.

[@JosephEricx2y]

Thank you for this amazing tip. I just looked the name up and wrote her.

[@AngelaHat]

I have $170K in NVIDIA right now. I only got into stocks to try and make anything to help afford some medical infusion treatment that I need. I know it’s a risky game especially for someone like me who isn’t focusing hard on the market. I just don't want to make any wrong move. Do I hold or sell and buy back? Genuinely asking for any advice.

[@Castro-worldbravest]

You don't sound like a very conservative investor like me. Lol.. Hold on. you're in for a long run..

[@ShirleyD.Suarez]

Well all i know is that you cannot go wrong taking profit at near high. No one ever went broke taking a 10% loss. It's best if you consult with a fiduciary advisor to get informed buying & selling decisions.

[@NormanRockwell-d1x]

You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a CFA, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 14.3%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an advisor.

[@SandraJ.Aleman]

this is all new to me, How do I find a suitable fiduciary advisor, can you recommend any?

[@NormanRockwell-d1x]

Sophia Nadene Morgan is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name online. You'd find necessary details to work with and set up an appointment.

My adviser emphasized early planning for retirement, ensuring my financial independence through well-structured investments.

[@NoahNollens]

Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach you using their service? Seems you've figured it all out.

[@BrigetGstar]

Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with Julianne Iwersen-Niemann for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.

[@NoahNollens]

I simply Googled her name and her website came up right away. So far, it appears interesting. I emailed her, and I hope she responds soon. Thanks

[@kaimurphy4108]

This is sound advice. I started out mowing lawns until eventually I had 3 trucks. All while putting myself through College. Once again it all resonates and you can adapt and transfer these ideas to your current field. I'm now a real estate agent and now I'm getting back to what made me successful by implementing the same idead, concepts and strategies that worked before. Thankfully you don't have to hunt all over the internet for this information as Cody delivers it to you for FREE! Thank you Cody.

[@KennedyVerbruggen]

It's sad how difficult things have become in the present generation. I was wondering how to utilise some money I had. I used some of it for e-commerce business, but that sank. I'm thinking of how to use what's left to invest, but I don't really know which way to go.

[@antoniaribeiro8073]

I understand how you feel. It's a little bit difficult to navigate things these days. You don't wanna lose whatever is left. I may suggest that you find a financial advisor who could give you thorough advice on how to go if you want to go the investment route. Also, the fact your business failed doesn't mean you should give up.

[@NorthCarolinaForward]

That's right. I have tried many failed businesses and it's just a step further. Don't despair. But to add, if you do decide to use a financial advisor, it's best you use someone who understands your special needs and can work with you. I learnt this from experience before finally finding one I can stick with. Now I make six figures from my investments alone, and even more from my businesses.

[@brantheeskimo]

Thank you for the advice. When you say financial advisor, are you talking about hedge funds? And how do I get in touch with one?

[@NorthCarolinaForward]

Rebecca Nassar Dunne is the licensed advisor I use. Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.

I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.

I've been running a window cleaning company for years. My charge out was up to $400 an hour 10 years ago with 90% margin. 100% referral work but started door knocking. It's magic.

[@lovelace1856]

What about liability insurance? Do you have to have that to start?

[@o4pureh2o]

Thanks for the question. No you don't have to have it here. I did for a number of years but stopped. The company is an LLC and all my wealth is secured in other entities. I'm not worth suing. I'm happy to cover anything I break and the glass you're working on isn't covered by the business insurance anyway. In New Zealand personal injury is covered by a government system where you can choose a set amount of cover or 1% of gross profit. if a business is negligent the government insurance company can sue me but once again I don't own anything. They could close the busyness though but i would take the IP and client list and start again or sell it under a different company. @@lovelace1856

[@johnenglish8126]

Well, depends on where you live. In the US and Canada you want to have that; 1 broken window and your customer will sue you for $10 million because he stepped on a spec of glass and is now in disability for the rest of his or her life... In Europe not so much, we tend to still have some decency left in our system although it is fading

Might not need a license but one part you missed is Insurance. Good insurance is expensive so people please make sure you understand the cost of this item before determining price. We all know this one, but if you are a member or know someone of a "church", it's is a great place to help build clients at the start. Churches will generally assist via word of mouth and if you offer services free a few times to the church they will really push your business. Good luck and GO!

Safest approach i feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown. its important to seek the guidance of an expert

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZbin channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,765 subs and > 1k hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

@@JoyfulJenn Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say that you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my KZbin channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a KZbinr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this KZbin thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)

@@AlwaysHereAndNow Thank you! What I really focus on is the value of the content and what I’m truly passionate about while helping others! I'm glad that I'm foolish enough to believe that I can actually start making money through my passions. I've never thought that I'd be able to gain 1K subs faster. I can't imagine how many opportunities could have been wasted if I didn't have courage to go after them. That includes having this channel, being in a management role, having the people who actually care about me for who I am, freelance gigs, being an ambassador in a creative community and now I'm also planning on honing my public speaking skills through joining a toastmaster club and these all happened in 2023. It started with writing them all down on a piece of paper. A paper that serves as a reminder for me to go after what I want even through hard times. I'm not bragging about my accomplishments but simply hoping that this message can also inspire others to believe in themselves.

Also remember, you should have for Landscaping - License - Bonded & Insured! Also do an LLC, with your state, free to do up yourself, just a fee to the state! Whatever you decide for a business, make sure you check your State and City in what you need to have for that business.

[@goldenparachute392]

Great comment. There are too many ignorant people that don’t understand the benefits of an LLC and the required state licensure and insurance. Moreover, they don’t understand the risks of not having those things.

Hey Codie, Love your work. For landscaping, remind your viewers that if they engage in services over and beyond simple mowing and trimming, in many states you have a limit to what you can do in landscaping without having a license.

Never forget that honesty and integrity are also 'skills', and without them you will struggle. Funny thing... when I started my landscaping business 25 years ago I had to rent a lawnmower, but after 20 years when I had to shut down when my son got sick, my last job was creating a $30,000 garden :) Just do it.

Exactly what I’m doing again this week. The smartest thing I’ve ever done was having 30% in cash to buy on the way down in 2021. It hurt watching 30-40% discounts drop to 50, but grabbing Google, NVDIA, Apple, and others near the bottom has paid off. I love the bull outlook but I’m not confident to should hold all equities.

Her "hope" is based on solid business principles and ideas that put a person back in control of the future (being their own boss). She's not hyping anything. She's helping people think how they can use what they have money/skills and leverage that into something better than working for someone else. Not everyone who watches will take advantage of the information, but it's still good information. She's not a snake oil salesman.

Her advice is spot on and would take people years to accumulate on their own. Thank you Codie for caring about the small business owner and bootstrapping people out there.

Notice she isn’t charging you for the info. She was a multi millionaire before the KZbin stuff. She gives great info and could be charging for it but she is helping out the owner who wants to grow. She is also growing her brand around what she knows so it is smart. She is not selling hope. She is selling how to turn Hope into reality. She is not the Amazon Fulfillment KZbinr.

Great video Codie. Love the scale up part which is helpful for any entrepreneur to know the whole possibility before starting. Investing in real knowledge (for free or little money if possible) with real work / practice will help reducing risk and guide you into the right direction without spending a lot of money.

Been doing this for the last 4.5yrs now and have learned so much/ gained much more confidence and perspective around service based businesses. The need in my area just keeps climbing.

Codie, I love your content and the amazing and very useful stuff you put on the internet. Thank you so much! Do you happen to have a European version of all of these? 😅 I really want to do similar things but a lot of the things are very specific to US, so I am having difficulty applying the deal structures and types of businesses, let's say to a German or French market. Do you also do similar things abroad?

Mathematically quadrants explained here is not perfect. Basically LL should come in bottom-left and not top-left. However, I get the point. Thanks for sharing this info & you sound very authentic 🎉

These are very valuable rules for anybody who wants to get rich come 2024. Unfortunately, most people who will watch this video will not really be able to apply the principles. We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession-- it requires a certain level of expertise. No surprise that some people are losing a lot of money in the bear market, while others are making hundreds of thousands in profit. I just don't know how they do it. I have about $189k now to put in the market.

[@LucasBenjamin-hv7sk]

Although stocks are now rather volatile, you should be okay if you perform the proper calculations. There have been stories of people making over $250,000 in a matter of weeks or months, according to Bloomberg and other finance media, so if you know where to look, I believe there are many wealth transfers during this recession.

The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic. I believe that’s the most effective way to enter the business at the moment.

The advisor that guides me is Vivian Carol Gioia, most likely the internet is where to find her basic info, just search her name. She's established.

Love the way you explain things and keep my attention. SOOOO my main passion skill is Video Editing. Previous experience working for major market stations in news from West Palm, Miami, and Atlanta. I moved out to join the family biz in aviation. Fast forward. 51 and starting over. The plus. A home and car paid for. No Debt, just monthly bills. I work a job now that I absolutely HATE!!!!!!. Want to get back into video editing working from home and leave my job by June. First ? Is this a good move going back to editing. (yes I have been checking out the new styles, training on new software etc.) 2nd. how can i gain clients and scale it? ( I basically fit your second quad).

Codie. This is the biz video for tons of people that have been or are gonna get laid off. But there's one problem. When I share this video on LinkedIn there's this, erm, unprofessional looking thumbnail that just is kinda offputting or at best irrelevant when it is most relevant (whenever I share a KZbin on LinkedIn it goes to pull the thumbnail). Could we please have a better professional looking thumbnail. Like you in a smart suit or something. Thanks. You rock - and your content's gonna help so many people.

There's a great need of help for seniors whose physical limitations threaten their ability to remain in their own home. They would gladly pay for someone to run errands, take out trash, wash windows, provide a ride to an appointment, etc., etc. The problem is finding workers. Young people don't like physical work and $20 an hour doesn't tempt them.

[@knightssquire2376]

I agree with the work force assessment. I honestly had someone tell my wife to her face on day 1 "I didn't realize the work would be so hard". That was for a grill cook, literally a burger flipper. This is where a proper path to legal work visas for immigrants makes the most sense, as our soft children aren't going to slaughter the chickens, shovel the crap, or even tolerate roofing or lawn care.

[@georgehenry8391]

I don't think $20 per hour should tempt anyone unless they're desperate. That isn't enough meat on the bone in 2024. Construction workers would have to be earning $135 per hour to still have the purchasing power they had in the 1970s.

My 15 and 12 year olds have made about that amount doing these kinds of things for the elderly in our neighborhood. They’ve gotten groceries, made copies at the Fed Ex place near us, watered gardens, picked up restaurant orders and more.

Yes, yes and yes! I was just watching another one of your videos. I was about to comment, asking you to create a video on recession proof businesses. You read my mind…almost. We both know what you’re leaving out 😉. All I’ll say is look throughout history people. Best wishes in all that everyone does. This is still a helpful video for many.

[@MichaelCapiliEla]

Thanks Codie! You are amazing!

[@tomsisson660]

Thank you Codie for the video, it is very informative. For my input, you should do what you know. For example, you said that e-commerce may not be desirable, but if it is what you know the most about, then that is what you should do to make money. Knowledge is power, and knowledge is money.

Great video ever to start own business. Now i have two ideas that will work for me. One is old that got cleared and one new from your video. Thanks

Not sure people are going to prioritize getting their car detailed, their house cleaned, and having someone mow their lawn if they are trying to budget for gas and groceries. Perhaps in bigger or wealthier areas though.

[@tracy419]

That's what I was thinking. And that doesn't even count the job losses that are coming thanks to AI and robots over the next decade or so.

Thats why having a service based business needs to find a need an actual need. But like someone said she started selling saop. are you really ganna make soap yourself? Or bread? Or let's say if you need invitations for a wedding? What about.....linen.....if you open a store where you sell the products people need lets say at a good price....what about making a garden and selling the excess.....again none of these are million doller store but perhaps can earn a side hustle to support or supplement the income....

If your neighbor was selling homemade bread and instead of going all the way to the store you can knock on her door.....

[@playerzero2236]

I'm all for starting a business. Even if you fail it's going to give a much better picture of how to valuate them later. And should you fail, don't run to another sector, stay in your sector until you get it right. This part a lot of people get wrong. You're going to make plenty of mistakes early on but that's ok, it takes years to refine a process then you eventually get to a place you can scale.

Service, retail and restaurants is like buying another full time job. Hard to scale (no one wants to work there for minimum wage so not stable workforce), so the owner is also the operator. No thanks.

[@jasonschannel9017]

Pay more than minimum wage. You wouldn't want someone that's only worth minimum anyway. Especially after all this inflation. Pay them in some other ways as well. Money isn't the only thing people care about or reason they work at particular places. 😊

Just because your lazy and not willing to put in the work doesn't mean everyone is. It's still better than working a 9 to 5 job for someone else.

Service with a high skill job can easily bring 80-160/hour. Retail can be changed to online biz with no physical inventory you touch. Restaurants could be food trucks or ghost kitchens.
