I went with this guy, then I picked his brain. 6 years ago he started a concrete staining business, it was going just ok. Then a customer asked if he could paint their sport court. He said “why not?” Within 3 months he was ONLY doing sport courts. Today does hundreds of courts per year at $5k-$10k each. Do the math on that. Most of his jobs come from full service sport court companies that sub out to him. Insane net margins. He’s going to Oklahoma next month to do 22 courts. He did a great job with mine. Alabama stencil still in the mail. Full interview dropping soon. Follow Chris Koerner to watch when it goes live.

Is TikTok toxic? Maybe. But these women in rural China, are using it to build a better life. Up until a few years ago they would be plowing fields for 12 hours a day, just to earn a small fraction of this amount. I love entrepreneurship.

This Dallas mom grosses $1m/year in 4 months of work. What does she do? Decorate porches with pumpkins in Dallas and Houston. Here’s how the business breaks down: Orders open in July and she sells out in August. Last year she did 900 jobs for $300 - $2,000+ each. She also charges extra for removal. She has 15 drivers, 10 delivery guys and a warehouse staff. She’s been in business for 4 years. No niche is too small! I will die on that hill. Hat tip to my friend Barrett Linburg for pointing this out to me. He’s a great follow and real estate expert savant! I’m hopefully having her on my podcast to dissect this business even more. I just posted about her on IG and it’s looking like it may go viral so hopefully that’ll get her attention. 😂 Look up the Koerner Office on YT or any podcast platform to watch when it goes live.

When you buy a forever home you buy forever home things. Today’s its permanent lighting on the front & side of my house. Not cheap! I expect to “break even” in ~8 years. I’ll be able to use them year round and control the patterns & colors from an app. Any guesses how much? 😅

I discovered a cool side hustle right here in my front yard. I sold my John Deere riding mower for $2,200 on FB Marketplace. When the guy pulled up to take it he already had two others. Of course I had to pick his brain. In broken English he explained that his dad lives in Bolivia and sells these there. They crate them up and pay $1-$2 per pound to ship them down south. They sell for $6k-$7k there. I love traveling to other countries to find cool arbitrage opportunities like these. There’s a million ways to make a million bucks.

I got raked across the coals last year. I went on a popular podcast that got 6m views and in it I said: 1. I grew up poor 2. I grew up on a golf course Impossible, right? I went back to that house yesterday. My dad bought it for $45,000 in 1990, before the Logan River Golf Course was built across the street. His salary was $18,000 - working at a greenhouse. He built this doghouse in 1995 and it’s still there today! Many don’t like believing that wealthy people grew up poor because it makes them feel worse about themselves. The funny thing is, had I grown up middle class or wealthy I likely wouldn’t be successful today. I asked the current owner if I could look in the backyard. He said yes. Then I asked if I could look inside. No dice. The basement still isn’t finished! Those homes behind me used to be a giant field where I’d catch frogs and chase pheasants. It was an awesome childhood.

My 15 year old and I are on the way to Waco to run a 31 mile ultra we haven’t trained for. My car is driving me so I can load up on carbs. My son’s longest run is 8 miles and my last run was 4 miles, 7 months ago. If it were a 31 mile hike with some running mixed in no one would look twice. That’s basically what this is tbh. Ultras aren’t about running fast. They’re about running as slowly as you can bear for as long as you can. It’s frog in boiling water pain. Very gradual. What’s the bigger risk: an injury, or going 80 years without ever realizing your potential? You can literally just do things. (This is the best running song in the world btw. That + Coke will carry me).

A while back I got yelled at pretty harshly by some dudes when I was putting my paddleboard into a river. Turns out it wasn't the right place to put a boat in, so I apologized and moved it to the right place. They acted like they caught me beating a puppy. I just didn't see the sign! It angered me at how mad they got! In that very moment I made a vow to always try and assume good intent. Last year I had a very minor beef with Codie Sanchez. I wanted to get mad, and shout about it to the world, but then I remembered my new goal. "Assume good intent." We DMed back and forth and it was all good. A while later she was kind enough to have me on her podcast. I drove down to Austin to make it happen. She apologized in person for this mistake 3 times! At least once on camera. On the 2nd or 3rd apology I replied with "It's all good. I could see myself making the same mistake." She paused for a moment, thought deeply and then said, "No, I don't think you would." Most people just roll with the comments to keep a conversation flowing. That reply from her showed me a lot about her character. That episode ended up doing very well, which helped put me on the radar of much bigger podcasts, including Diary of a CEO (DOAC). Months later, I was invited onto DOAC and that episode also performed exceptionally well. About 3.5m people have seen it, with 50k - 100k more watching every day. That opened even bigger doors for me, for which I am extremely grateful. Codie and I are now friends. She's incredibly kind and helpful. Good things happen when you assume good intent. People are good. People also screw up sometimes. Both are true.

This guy financed a $90K machine he’d never used to start a business he’d never done, in a market he’d never worked in. Now he's on track to do $1M this year with 69% NET profit margins. Here's exactly how you can copy him. It started when he bought 5 acres of land, 4 of which were overgrown. He tried to hire someone to clear it, but the closest provider was over 100 miles away. So he did some basic keyword research - nothing fancy - and learned the service was called “forestry mulching.” What he found shocked him: tons of people in his area were searching for help clearing overgrowth, but there were almost no local providers. He saw the gap and moved fast. He'd never started a home service business before. He financed a skid steer with a mulching head for $90K. No experience. No jobs booked. Just conviction. Then he spliced together demo footage from Bobcat’s YouTube channel and launched his first ad. He targeted rural Ohio zip codes, 35+ homeowners with land, using Tractor Supply and similar interests as filters. His ad cost? Just $23 per lead. His average job size? $3,100. His close rate? 85%. He was booked out within weeks. To build trust and close more deals, he started filming every job. Simple before-and-afters, drone shots of local landmarks, and time lapses of the machine in action. He didn’t care about views, he just wanted prospects to see what the machine could do and know that he was local. Now, 80% of his customers say they watched his YouTube before booking. The channel isn’t just conteny, it’s proof. This isn’t a content business. It’s a swaty, high-ticket local service. But content is his engine of trust. And trust is what converts. Today he runs two machines. Has months of work booked. Pays for his equipment in one job. And he’s already planning to scale to 10+ units. Most people still don’t even know what forestry mulching is. Which is exactly why this works so well. You don’t need a brand or experience, or even that much money. You just need to spot a broken market and fill the gap with something people already want. He’s doing $1M/year clearing land with a machine he didn’t know existed 18 months ago. And he started it all with a $5K down payment and a borrowed YouTube video.

This mom is making six figures a year, turning kids trash into parents treasure. How it works is very simple: - You take all your kids' artwork, ship it to this lady, and she arranges it on this big canvas. - She then sells it back to you for hundreds or thousands of dollars. As long as there are parents who love their children, this will be a viable business idea.

100% true story. I caught it on video. I was filming an appliance repair video with my 24 year old Utah friend yesterday. At one point he had to order a part from Amazon. He opened safari on his iPhone and typed in Amazon. com He didn’t know they had an app. I’m still shocked

This business is my obsession of the week. Only $12/hour to play with heavy equipment. Open 4 days/week. A. This is an AWESOME idea! B. Why aren't they more expensive?? This can't be cheap to own and operate. Have you ever been here? I have to know more.

I did something kind of insane. I just spent millions of dollars on dirt. 231 acres, 45 minutes from my house in DFW. In this post: why I bought it, how I plan to make money on it, and exactly what I paid. Here's the story. A couple years ago my buddy Jeff bought a ranch. And ever since, I've been watching his boys drive out there. Move a bulldozer around. Drive a skid steer. Bring in the cows. Build a burn pile after the storm. I admired that. I feel so strongly that having your kids learn to work hard is one of the best things you can do as a parent. And it's also one of the hardest. I think they're correlated. The harder things you do as a parent are also the most important things you do as a parent. I have four kids. I want them to have opportunities I never had, and I don't want them to be soft. A ranch is the greatest hard work simulator ever invented. Fixing fence in the July heat. Feeding cows when it's 37 degrees. Hauling hay. That will change a kid. It'll build something in a kid that no app ever will. They say business isn't personal. It is personal. This was an emotional decision first. But I'm a capitalist and an entrepreneur, so here's the financial side: DFW is adding 150 to 200,000 people a year, growing north and east. This ranch is 57 miles from downtown Dallas, in the path of growth. Worst case, my family gets a ranch that we love. Best case, the Metroplex crawls to my fence line. We started out looking at 50 to 100 acre parcels. Then I realized something: one day I'll feel stupid for not buying more land at only $10K an acre this close to Dallas. So we went bigger. The ranch wasn't distressed. I still negotiated almost $400K off the list price. Here's how: I uploaded the seller's appraisal to Claude. It caught that their comps were 60 acre parcels and mine is 231, and bigger parcels are worth much less per acre. It picked also apart the whole appraisal, caught a bunch of other stuff, and wrote my negotiation replies. My $20 a month subscription saved me hundreds of thousands of dollars. Another hack: My wife got her real estate license, represented us herself, and gave back 2% of her commission at closing. $50K off. Then I shook the seller's hand and promised this never becomes a neighborhood or a data center. That handshake is one reason he picked me over the developers. Relationships matter. So how am I gonna make money on this? A few of the plays: - The previous owner keeps ranching it on a grazing lease with me. He keeps spraying, mowing, and maintaining the fences. I collect a check. - There's a 2,400 sq ft shop on the property, already rented out. Another check. - Grass-fed beef under the 888 brand. A quarter cow sells for about $1,500 at roughly 40% net margin. And you don't need to own land to do this. ButcherBox doesn't own a single ranch. - A YouTube channel documenting everything. If it gets to a fraction of my main channel's size, it covers the entire ranch payment. Zero ongoing expenses. - Farm stays and campsites. Right next door is a tiny home community doing $17,000 a month on 20 acres. I have 231. - Maybe an Airbnb over the river with a plexiglass floor. Septic near a river is tricky, but everything's figureoutable. - I’ll use my own dozer instead of hiring one. Companies charge $200 to $500 an hour. Used dozers go for $10 to $30K and I’ll hire young guys to operate them and expand the pond for much cheaper. - Ag exemption. Property taxes on a ranch this size would be $45 to $50K a year. Mine are about $1,500. I don't plan to flip this. I'm building a barndominium out there, then eventually a house. I plan to own it for the rest of my life, and hopefully my kids and grandkids after that. What did I pay? $2.35 million. My wife and I got married on 08/08/08. So this is 888 Ranch. Three eights in a row make a great cattle brand. One last thing. If you've ever listened to the podcast, watched a video, or started a business because of something I shared: you are part of the reason I was able to buy this. I mean that. Thank you. I'm documenting all of it on a new YouTube channel, 888 Ranch Your learnings compound just like money does. Come watch mine. 888 Ranch site-- 888 Ranch Youtube --
