I Found A Recession-Proof Business

[@CodieSanchezCT]

There is one truth I say over and over again… It’s easy to start a business. It’s WAY harder to make a profitable one. That’s why I think buying a business with existing cashflow is the best choice. I call it acquisition entrepreneurship. If you’re curious about business buying, I’m hosting a free 90 minute class on October 16 @ 11AM CST. You can sign-up through this link! Can’t wait to see you there, we’re bringing the heat 🔥 contrarianthinking.biz/4gRbKRg

[@МЕГАПоЗиТИВ-й2е]

Sorry but it doesn't quite work that way. I have the money to buy a number of such trucks but that would be a bad investment. WHY? Because they would just be sitting idle. The hardest part is to get the cities/municipalilties to agree to use your service. Street sweeping/cleaning has been around forever, they're all going to say "thanks, we already have a company that does that". That is, if you even somehow get a chance to talk to them.

[@michaelschiemer3]

Tired of the "recession is coming!" threat. Recessive periods come along with equivalent market opportunities if you are well informed and equipped, I've seen folks amass wealth in the midst of economic turmoil and even pull it off easily in favorable conditions. Invariably, the collapse is getting somebody somewhere rich

[@derrickholfman2]

the strategies are quite rigorous for the regular-Joe. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off.

[@Dantursi1]

Risk mitigation is indeed something to consider well before setting out on inveestments. Most often than not, CFAs take care of this perfectly. People downplay the role of CFAs until being burnt by their own instincts. I was in a similar situation a few years ago; Took my chances but stocks went crashing. Realizing I wasn't good at timing the market, I started working with an Adviser, which helped me build a $1.6m portfolio.

I don't know why, but so many businesses seem to struggle this 2024. I know a self-published author, a hairstylist, a coffee shop owner, and a realtor saying the same thing. I am keen on retiring comfortably at 40 with at least $2m, only to spend more time with my kids.

i know for sure that when you are in a successful business with profit margins, you always tell everyone else to do the same thing. that way you have competitors and you have to compete for business. step 1 - find a market where you are successful and making money. step 2 - tell everyone else they should do it to that way you have to compete against everyone. makes tons of sense. this is not a get rich quick, self help type video where the viewers of the video are the product. this is just telling people about how there is a secret money printing machine and these people are going to share the secret with you, because they care.

[@indicasativa8542]

I own a small street sweeping company in Florida, just 2 trucks. Maintenance on these trucks can and will eat up profits very fast. Depending on the truck, ( I have 2 Timco’s) you literally have 2 diesel engines that require meticulous maintenance. Sweeper brooms are expensive as hell. I make enough money to be my own boss but no way I can retire.

[@dmvbay2535]

Get a loan and buy more machines to have multiple profit centers (trucks) and that will expand your overall revenue and profit.

[@ssj4naka]

Who are your customers? Cities? Lot owners? How do you get leads?

[@grizzlyblue6389]

​@dmvbay2535 buying more trucks doesn't change the maintenance requirements. It scales, but you also get a lot more opportunities for breakdowns. Vehicle based businesses are difficult. Also 800k revenue in this business isn't a lot of take home income.

[@coldfusion5153]

Can you take home 200 k a year with one truck?

[@WideAwakeHuman]

@@grizzlyblue6389 “not scaling” is never the answer lol - he either needs to get out of that business or scale it. And it doesn’t change the maintenance requirements but the revenue u make the more take home money or money to scale u have.

[@antwayne92]

I worked for a large sweeping company had close to 300 properties 20 trucks the best trucks are the NiteHawk sweepers easy maintenance parts are inexpensive. I learned a lot from the owner he created multiple lines of revenue, but it was so overwhelming the business is 24/7 I am going to start my own sweeping company 5 trucks is large enough to maintain and still provide your customer with the best service.

[@DocAthena4761]

Pro tip... learn to say NO to customers. Learned this the hard way when I owned a concrete construction company. Subcontracting is easy and profitable until something goes wrong and the customer looks to you to fix it and your reputation is on the line. I found that the "little extra on top" wasn't worth the liability and exposure.

[@Thierry-in-Londinium]

Exactly! Plus, there are people in the world who have different morality & ethical codes + workmanship standards. So unless your super on-top of everything (and how could you be, this isnt core?!) your wide open to been taken advantage of by a host of rogue players.

[@HanTheProphet]

my dad bought a business like this but it ultimately did fail due to exchange rate pressure. he always tells me to find old dudes with no succession plan. solid plan to buy businesses with very little money usually

[@soothingmusic1607]

What do you mean by exchange rate pressure? If you msy kindly elaborate please

[@davidmack4495]

what is rate pressure?

[@HanTheProphet]

@@soothingmusic1607 we are in Canada and owned a tier 3 automotive manufacturing business. The big American tier 1 dogs(like ford) call all the shots and ofc their entire supply chain is in USD so they don’t face any unexpected surprise with the exchange rate Half-most of our inputs are bought in CAD, if the exchange rate goes too far against us, we get squeezed We had like multi year contracts with the tier 2s (like manga, polycon), they supplied the likes of ford. lol when we had too much work we would offload it to an even smaller plant, I suppose that’s like tier 4

[@coreyh7323]

Some old dudes need the money in order to retire.

[@HanTheProphet]

@@soothingmusic1607 sorry I replied earlier with more detail but it seems to have not posted It was basically buying many inputs in CAD while making and selling auto parts in USD. When the exchange rate goes against you it can be difficult as the contracts with customers(polycon, magna, etc) are long term and they have a lot of power. They supply tier one manufacturers like ford etc, who call the shots and expect to pay for everything in USD, so they don’t have any surprises.

[@BizBob2]

[@Maksilver]

I love Cody, she is always asks the right questions to get the right answers we are looking for. You and your team really have spiked my interests in businesses with a renowned perspective

[@noahgiles777]

Lets get back to that Napkin math at 7:36: Charges $740 per job - $300 in expenses X 2 jobs per day you net $440 per job = $880 per day X 5 days per week = $4,400 per week x 52 = $228,000 per year NOT $385,000. If each customer is worth $6,000 then you have 38 customers that that get roughly 14 cleanings a year. That looks pretty doable with the presented operation. When you add up that lot full of trucks and stuff constantly breaking, accounting & tech fees, managing customers, maging employees, DOT, Insurance, fuel, water & winterization, chemicals (if your work somewhere cold). It's going to be a tough run but it could be done. The talking points are pretty good on the strategy and overall concept. Before you bet the farm don't forget to ask for those tax returns from the last 5 years just to validate the business's story. Without that the business is worthless.

[@Helen_white1]

Recessions are part of the economic cycle, all you can do is make sure you're prepared and plan accordingly. I graduated into a recession (2009). My 1st job after college was aerial acrobat on cruise ships. Today I'm a VP at a global company, own 3 rental properties, invest in stocks and biz, built my own business, and have my net worth increase by $500k in the last 4 years.

[@Theodorebarba]

Let's face it... buying more stocks & index funds during stock market corrections and bear markets is scary. Which makes it really hard to do for most people like me. I have 260k i want to transfer into an s&p but it’s hard to bite the bullet and do it.

[@Kin-28-8]

It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.

[@SaraAhmadi-tn8nn]

The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.

[@BennieY.Jenkins]

This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800k

Brilliant! For expanding a business if you think about 4 squares on one axis you have selling the same products to existing customers or new customers. On the other axis it is selling new products to the same customers or new customers. The square with New/New is called the "death square" because it is the hardest. But think about it, every business you start from scratch will be in the death square (New products to New customers). Buying an existing business and then selling new add-on products means that they have already seen that you can deliver.

If someone made $1,480/day doing 2 jobs a day at $740 per job, with a $300 cost per job, that's $600 in operating costs per day. Wouldn't it be, $1,480 - $600 = $880 x 5(days a week) = $4,400(weekly profit) x 52(weeks a year) = $228,800? Still a lot of money, but $156k short of $385k

What happens when the next new guy comes along and is hungrier than you and undercuts your pricing…??? There is no customer loyalty in a business like this, you either clean their street/parking lot or you don’t…?

[@HodgeChris]

Tired of the "recession is coming!" threat. Recessive periods come along with equivalent market opportunities if you are well informed and equipped, I've seen folks amass wealth in the midst of economic turmoil and even pull it off easily in favorable conditions. Invariably, the collapse is getting somebody somewhere rich

Choose quality stocks and follow them up. If you're not one for such complexities, work with an Advisor to grow your portfolio. You can't go wrong with a sound CFA.

[@Justinmeyer1000]

You're right, I and a few Neighbors in Bel Air Area work with an advisor who prefers we Dollar cost averaging across other prospective sectors instead of a lump sum purchase. Following this, my portfolio grew by more than 40% in the 2nd quarter.

[@PatrickFitzgerald-cx6io]

I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for portfolio managers online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a suggestion?

[@Justinmeyer1000]

I've stuck with ‘’Aileen Gertrude Tippy’’ for about 9 months now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.

[@PatrickFitzgerald-cx6io]

Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her resume.

[@MysterSer333]

@17:45 your passion is clear and I thank your for giving it your all....

Heard someone say it's important to stick to stocks that are recession-proof, hence I'm looking at NVIDIA and other AI stocks, or are there recommendations? I'm 31 and I've got $150k ready money to invest for my future.

[@justlikeasoldier]

the idea is to look for stocks that have paid steady, increasing dividends for years (or decades), and have not cut their dividends even during recession, speaking with a proper advisor can be very useful most times in getting the job done.

[@beautifulpeopleonearth]

The issue is most people have the “I will do it myself mentality” but not skilled enough. Ideally, advisors are perfect reps for investing jobs and at first-hand experience, my portfolio has yielded over 330% since covid-outbreak to date, summing up nearly $1m.

[@everceen]

@@beautifulpeopleonearth quite inspiring! could you be kind enough with details of your advisor please? in dire need of proper asset allocation

Codie, This is inspiring as always. I have been having a bit of a question nudging at me. What are the alternatives to the bank/SBA in securing funding for a business purchase besides Seller Financing. Would really appreciate a response. Thank you.

[@loganniss8793]

private lenders if you have experience in the industry, or a track record. Maybe someone in your family has deep pockets that would be willing to lend? Sometimes brokers will have outside funders. I don't like brokers tho, they remind me of car salesmen

[@nxlevel]

She likes him, I could tell by her body language. He seems to like her too. He should ask her out on a date, they would be a good looking couple. Her comment at the end playing off that shes available proved what i aready could sense. Great business BTW. i've been thinking about starting one of these for a few years now, might just take the step after seeing this video.

[@nxlevel]

Oops... I take back the date part. I rewatched and she has a ring on.She's already taken, so she's off limits in my eyes!

[@nicholasvarro7382]

Two drivers and he makes $60k a month and lives in a different state?

[@user-zk6fc3dw9e]

That's top line revenue, so the profit margins are significantly lower than that, which was not highlighted very well in the video. It sounds like after a certain amount of business the fixed costs are covered and the profit goes way up after that. However, ir also sounds like there is limited demand for the work, which means there absolutely is an upper threshold, and it's probably a lot lower than most would expect. Give it three to five years, and I'm guessing this guy will sell this business to an unsuspecting employee (outside this business) who is sick of their W2 job. That sale is where the actual profit will generated.

[@gialamhuynh5448]

The company makes 60K. Not him. Then he has to substract fees, salaries, depreciation, taxes etc.

[@RachaelHernandez-wu3et]

Great video!!!
