Many people still don’t realize that literacy isn’t just about being able to read. It’s about being able to comprehend, evaluate, and apply the information in front of you. The gap between the two is becoming increasingly alarming.
This guy bought a $300 inflatable movie screen on Amazon as a Christmas gift for his family and turned it into a $100,000 a year business at 80% profit margins.
He just booked a $10,000 week.
His startup cost was literally that Amazon gift.
This is backyard movie theater rentals. But here's where it gets really freaking cool.
Derek realized movies can't start until 9:30 PM in Texas summers because it doesn't get dark until then. That doesn't work for seven year olds.
So he built the world's first indoor air conditioned inflatable movie theater.
Full carpeting. LED lights. Four window AC units he bought off Facebook Marketplace for $150 each. He charges $1700 for it.
His outdoor packages start at $375 and scale up from there to $1500.
Then he added LED dance floors because kids kept dancing after the movies ended.
Those rent for $3,000 and he'll have it paid off in eight rentals.
In this episode Derek:
- Breaks down how he went from unprepared at his first HOA event to a $10K booking week
- Shares how he sources equipment from Alibaba and Facebook Marketplace
- Tells me why his best clients are people sitting on a few acres who don't blink at price
- Gives me the exact package structure he uses, from $375 starter to $1,700 indoor
This one is awesome. Check it out.
It is crazy how a single moment of misunderstanding can become so toxic that it makes you forget the thousands of lovely moments you have spent together with someone. Anger has a terrible way of rewriting history.
