My brother started his own pest control company after leaving Orkin. 30-40% of his revenue now is crawlspace encapsulation. 60% margins on them. Large (4,000 sq ft + ones takes roughly 1.5-2 days to complete). $15-$20K for a large one. Slaps a $200-$300 annual renewal on it to go back once per year to check the dehumidifier, tighten any loose poly, make sure everything looks tight, etc. This was a moisture reading in some floor joists and sub floor in a recent crawlspace he did.

Don’t sleep on the low hanging fruit in construction.

Home repairs.
Handyman work.
Drywall patches.
Door repairs.
Trim.
Small plumbing fixes.
Punch list stuff nobody wants to mess with.

Everybody wants the $50k remodel.

Meanwhile, there are guys quietly stacking $500–$2,000 jobs every day with almost no overhead and minimal tools.

Get good. Be reliable. Answer the phone. Show up when you say you will.

One man band can earn a cushy $1,000 a day, build a $250k income after expenses, work about 10 months out of the year, and never touch a massive project.

There’s a lot of money hiding in the “small stuff.” That most homeowners and companies aren’t willing to touch.

My buddy @_May_Ham grew up in a hoarder house in Ohio and didn't leave the state until he was 18. His family made $30k/year. Today he runs one of the fastest growing newsletter agencies.

How he got here:

- Overweight at 13, 2.1 GPA, addicted to Minecraft
- At age 14 starts selling custom Minecraft maps, by the time he graduates high school it’s a 6-figure business
- Gets accepted into Wharton
- Joins BCG after graduation
- Starts a crypto newsletter, sells it for a small exit

In Feb 2024 starts The Feed Media (newsletter agency):

- 0 to $1M revenue in 10.5 months
- $4-5M revenue this year
- Clients include Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jay Shetty, and more.

Became a millionaire at 22.

And yes, he’s a Hampton member.

@brianbeers I recall poor incentive structures nearly destroying Wells Fargo a few years ago

Have a friend who bought a smaller sized land tract in East TN. 10 acres, paid $200,000. Looks great on paper. But…he didn’t call me for advice first 🤷‍♂️. Started building & at framing stage. Told me he has to stop. Well driller is 1,000 ft deep and STILL no water.

I asked him “You didn’t go on TDEC (TN Dept of Enviro) website and look at any surrounding wells and their depths?!? You didn’t call 3-4 well drillers and ask if they’ve ever drilled on your road before and what their experience has been?”

He just shook his head and said “Man, I f’ed up with this one.”

For those who didn’t know, if you’re ever buying land or a lot to build on, always KNOW these 3 things:

1) What is the composition of the land under that first layer of dirt? More dirt or hidden rock? Dirt - good. Rock - bad. (Way higher clearing and excavation cost, plus major PIA to run conduit, install septic, run septic lines, etc.

2) Will the soil perc? (Percolation test that determines the septic size you can put on the property). Surrounding septic permit issuances can be found on most municipality websites.

3) Can you hit water?

Most states provide perc info and well drilling info for surround parcels (if they’ve ever been drilled or perc’d). See these screenshots of wells drilled. RED IS BAD! Stay away from those areas. That means the well driller had to go really deep. What you also don’t see are surrounding lots who also went really deep and couldn’t hit water. Know another guy who paid a driller to drill in 4 different spots on his land. He was desperate because he paid a lot per acre for his land. Hit zero water all 4 times. What he paid for that land probably got cut in half with that info plus the cost he incurred with the driller. Always ask questions of the realtor or the owner (and do deep due diligence) before you sign that contract or those closing docs.

I call it Spilled Milk Syndrome.

The people who suffer from it live difficult, stressful lives, no matter how well things may otherwise be going for them.

They freak out when their iPhone screen cracks. Their flight gets delayed an hour, and it makes them crazy.

Their uber driver cancels last minute, and they yell at their screen. Their printer runs out of paper when they’re running late and need that important document - and their heart races like crazy.

Their blood boils when their latte’s too hot. Or their new shoes get stained the first time they wear them. Or the babysitter’s running 10 minutes behind.

Life’s little annoying moments shock them every time. They are the spilled milk moments that fill all of our lives - and they’re routine no matter who you are or even how wealthy you may be.

The people who expect these moments and take them in stride have an incredible gift.

When a business deal falls apart, they try to save it - and they move on to the next when they realize they can’t.

When the baby starts crying again at 3am, they can choose to be frustrated and to feel sorry for themselves because they had a long day and need the sleep - or they can choose to not to let it get them down.

How you handle those countless moments is simply up to you.

They are going to keep happening no matter what - and you can choose to take them in stride, not let them set you back, and to look forward.

Or you can choose to waste much of your life angry and frustrated, “crying over spilled milk.”

It’s perhaps the most important life choice you can make.

@gas_biz Do you think insurers will require this at some point? Seems like these settlements aren't sustainable.
