I want to start a business so bad I just don’t know where to start or what to do.. my wife is also recently diagnosed in the last month with an auto immune disorder that is not covered under insurance.. in her primary doctor told us that she had two options. #1. Keep coming to the primary when new symptoms arise and get medications for those symptoms. OR #2. We can go to private doctor that specializes in her condition. However, it is going to be very expensive out of pocket.. $1500 per visit to get an actual treatment

Personally i ventured into the stocks market so i won't be stranded with the help of an Investment advisor. A colleague of mine introduced me to "Courtney Heath Williams", who drew out investments plans and they all aligned with what i wanted and had to pick one plan and with his exit and entry strategies on commodities, securities and digital assets, my portfolio has really been diversified with good ROI.

Think starting a business you realize how much risk you take. And if given proper attention will be the hardest thing you’ve done. Makes your normal job seem “basic”. It’s made me really value what I make, spend on what moves my business ahead. Also by habit has made me look for better deals. There are so much out there once you crack the egg it starts to come together if you really persist. Takes time, very similar to growing a seed.

Every dollar is taxed multiple times, say you work in a store, when a customer buys a product, that dollar is taxed, when the employer pays their employees and when they buy more products and the property they have the business on its all taxed, when you take your pay and use it to buy products from stores, it's taxed again, and then you are taxed for the property you have, you are taxed for driving both registration and when you buy gas, you are taxed for fishing, hunting....etc

[@davidgroff4723]

Thanks for this. Owning a business is better than being an employee. If your only source of income is a job in someone else's business, you take on almost as much risk as they do with a lot less reward.

Great topic. I've always been pretty ambitious to do more and try new things, easy to get discouraged though so a good supportive wife helps a lot.

Always thought about starting an IT consulting business targeted at small businesses. I've always been someone who is willing to undercut the competition and be the cheapest most reliable option. Whether you stay cheap and gather a large client list or slowly become more expensive and dwindle your list to individuals who can afford you, I believe I will stay towards the former and never touch the latter. Even if I just get the clients setup and then charge to be a 24/7 IT technician or contract an outside firm, the idea is to allows benefit the client and never think about how much money I can make.

6:49: 100% true. The tax code is designed to incentivize business-owners and investment in certain industries which is why guys like Trump, Bezos, and Musk pay so little in tax(relative to what they earn). They create tens of thousands of jobs that allow families to put food on their tables and local businesses and municipalities to stay afloat while also providing valuable goods and services and the IRS rewards them for that.

All I have to say is start. I took the plunge 10 years ago with a newly born and I had just lost my job. Best decision I have made. I've had months with 50k income and I've had months with -50k :P It's a total shitshow a lot of the time and I had 0 knowledge. I am right now going through a hard time in my business life. But you know what I have after all these years. The self-awareness to know that I am going to pull through yet again. Every time I fall, I stop just a little bit earlier than the time before and I rebuild back up to where I previously was a little bit faster than previous falls. Statistically, it tells me that if I just continue, my top now, will one day be my bottom where I fall down to. Good luck and remember, 90% of what you do won't be successful, hell even 98%. But failure is giving up on your dream, and that's not an option =)

[@jeradbennett5030]

First video of yours that I have watched. I have worked for myself off and on for over a decade now. I also work for other contractors. Working for yourself can be both amazing and devastating. You have to figure out and cover every angle yourself. There is no company health plan or retirement. You have to make all of that for yourself as well as running your business and balancing your time. My best advice is to find a niche that others are unwilling to fulfill. For instance I service and install septic systems for people. There is good money to be made in this field, but most folks don't want to deal with the shitty side of things. Anyway thanks again for the great content.

I live in one of the most over taxed countries in the world, New Zealand. The government here, believe in stealing your money via higher taxes, and disincentivizing incentives and accomplishments via increased taxation.

[@soapalot]

The thing that really pisses me off about living in New Zealand is that even though we’re heavily taxed, our health system is slowly falling apart, the roads we have are crumbling and new one cost billions and need immediate remedial work, and education outcomes have been steadily slipping since the introduction of NCEA. We pay so much on tax and it’s really difficult to see where it’s going. The country’s financial management is currently woeful and its having such a huge impact on our quality of life.

[@functionalaestheticse.c.8953]

Building a business will not reduce stress. In all likelihood it will increase it. However, it will teach you how to fend for yourself so that if things go downhill in the economy you will be accustomed to being resourceful and rolling with the punches. Security is an illusion. The only security is the one that you create through perpetual sharpening of your Saw. Additionally, building a business builds confidence and empowers you to shine your light not to be shoved in a box.

And with mine just trying to be free but worry about future for our sons 15 to 22 but 2 already doing amazing and trying to make sure they are set financially and everything else.

Brothers, I need guidance. I’ve been wanting to do this, however I don’t know where or how to start. Also, I’m now sure what to do for a business. Any advice is appreciated.

Awesome video. My businesses are both the hardest and the most fulfilling thing I have ever done. If I can do it, anyone can.

Ryan, I'm in the same place you were before going full time on OoM

I have helped others make millions. But starting something on my own seems difficult to impossible. One company I helped made 1.5mill and all it took was a 45cent stamp and some direction from me. I’d love to learn more from you! It’s past due that I work for myself.

do you suggest an llc or a dba

[@craigfuqua4519]

Great conversation. Curious, when did you dedicate your life to Christ? I recall listening to your podcast periodically over the years but never heard the faith perspective until recently listening. OOM is much richer and deeper being Christ centered.

I need advise. I make really great money as a union Ironworker which i have been for almost 30 yrs, but unfortunately at 47, i still have to work until 58 for full retirement benefits. My work is all over the country, following the money and Big Jobs. Currently building micro chip plants, battery plants, ive worked in all phases in the power construction industry nuclear, coal, and natural gas. I have to live in my camper away from my family, and cannot write any of my expenses off. I need some way to do that, some kind of business legally that would allow me to write off lot rent, fuel, food ect... wherever i have to move to in my camper.

It is my understanding that the American tax code was designed around business not individuals. Though I do not believe the average person thinks of it as such. Please correct me if I am wrong.

My dream was to start a business upon me retiring from the military but I never followed through with it and I still have a desire to do it. You head the nail on the head by stating that many "overthink it". One day I will take that step and I truly appreciate all of your advice and the guests that you have on your show that share so much. Thank you and God Bless.

Dude if you are retired from the military why not just take the dive and open up the business? I am assuming you are much older than I but here is my story. I left the military in 2020 (not retired simply realized the Army wasnt for me) then I started going to school, I have a year and a half left before graduating. Next to the school, there is an old man that has a vape shop and every time I go in he always has customers. So a few weeks ago I asked him if he is planning on selling the business, he said yes. I talked him down from 60k to 20k, so now I am in the process of purchasing and he has been showing me his contacts, logistics of the business, and how the vape industry works. My rent will be 600 dollars a month to the landlord of the property, which is cheap. The landlord is also an old man, so I been reaching out to him and ask how much he wants for the lot which has 2 other businesses. So soon I will be owning my own business, get my degree in a year or so, and I still get my GI bill stipend plus VA disability. GO FOR IT MAN! start that business!

Not one day. It's already today. Take that step. Best of luck!

@@theefficient1107 the negotiation 60-20. No one will discount that much. It's not a candy or even a cheap car kind of deal. It's a man's former lively hood.
