IN THIS EPISODE:
Chris Huffman was the founder and CEO of Black Gold Group, a $50m services business for big-oil clients in rural Alaska. In 2016 he lost everything when oil crashed, and had to figure out how to rebuild with a wife and three kids.
Business concepts in this episode:
- Buy a backpack sprayer and use paid ads to get some mosquito-spray service contracts.
- Flip books from thrift stores and craigslist using Amazon's FBA scanning app.
- Buy trucks in Oregon and sell them in California.
- Buy some land (owner finance) and plant Peonies. Sell them to wedding planners.
- Chris started an email marketing business with Kendall in 2018 (grew to 15 retainer clients and went out of business. Pricing to customers was too low).
- Airbnb's are great businesses in niche markets for a busy hustler. Consider renting, partnering, or owner financing if you don't have enough cash to go for it. Here's Chris's first airbnb, and here's his latest.
- Rent a bulldozer and go work as a firefighting contractor for thousands per day.
- Dustin provided broadcasting services (live) for fire updates by the government. It also makes huge day rates. (Find a niche, and charge for it!)
- Breeding French Bull Dogs and selling them as puppies for thousands each.
- Flipping NFTs.
- And more...
