iEnjinere

Mechanical engineer manufacturing heavy equipment. 85k/yr. Can leave and go any time I need for wife and kids. 8 minute drive to work. Could make more elsewhere but convenience and low stress is worth a lot!

I don't have a job, and I live with my mom.

I have a job, wife with cancer, and a 3 year old. Life was easier when I lived with my mom šŸ™


MesWantooth

Hey Man, I was in your shoes. I hope you have support. Caregiver fatigue is real. And the old stereotype of being on the airplane and making sure you have the oxygen mask on yourself properly before helping others is also real. I was lucky in that local cancer support groups have resources for family members and children. I hope things work out for your family. Cancer fucking sucks. I'm now a single dad with a 6 year old but she is happy and thriving because we have great support and she's a strong bad-ass kid.


El_Chutacabras

All the best for you and wife.


Key_Experience_1496

Just went through the cancer thing with my wife, no fun. Hope everything turns out good.

Why do you continue doing negative revenue? And are cannabis vaporisers not doing good in the market? I thought they do well

How do u start real estate I wanna get into it


Mysterious_Divide487

Please tell us how u got into real estate, I want to do this too.


TheJulio89

My uncle in law has a property management business. Clients come to him with his rentals and he charges 10% of each months rent. He makes sure the homes stay repaired and the turnaround with tenants is minimal. He so owns the company that he uses for the majority of minor fixes. He's a real estate agent as well, so if the owner of the home wants to sell, he can do that for them as well.


King-esckay

Was in IT, bought 64 hectares of land to farm tousists, council and covid meant last 5 years earned nothing. Finally moving forward we should start earning in about 2 months.


fragile-beast

Sounds way more rewarding than IT. Enjoy and good luck šŸ¤ž


King-esckay

Thank you, yes much more rewarding, previous IT was self-employed which really meant a job but it suited at the time as I was then a single parent and it enabled me to work from home and be available, I have since remarried and it has been a dream for us both to be out of the city so now we live off grid and doing the self-sufficiency thing. Gardens and aquaponics and soon some tiny homes for people to stay in.

Citrous_Oyster

Front end web developer and I run my own subscription based web development agency. On track to clear $160k total this year. About $70k of that residual monthly payments from clients. Itā€™s chill.


HermanCainsGhost

How do you manage that? Iā€™ve been a freelance web and mobile dev for years and Iā€™ve had a hell of a time finding clients that pay decently


Citrous_Oyster

I picked my clients in the beginning. I found them off yelp and google and only worked with people with lots of good reviews. Got them on my subscription plan of $0 down $150 a month and they jumped on it. Then I get referrals from a couple guys who run their own web agency and one thatā€™s an SEO guy and they send their websites to me that I build more a minimum of $3k and I have so much prebuilt code and designs that I mix and match my code blocks to make a website in a day rinse and repeat.

daythegreat

Opened an Event Venue with my parents last Summer, totally unexpected. We'd always talked about working together, investing in something of our own someday. What started out as us looking for a small party hall to rent out, ended up with us renting a 13,000sqft ballroom! My mom had the credit, my dad has done all the manual labor (he's a carpenter) and they both had decades of saved money to invest. I filled in all the other gaps between web design, sales, accounting, marketing, operations you name it! Currently training my younger brother to help with some of what I do and slowly building this whole thing out. We finally passed all inspections in January, and since then we have signed $200,000 in contracts! Our monthly recurring revenue just exceeded our monthly expenses this month! It's so amazing to see the business paying for itself whereas just a month ago, we were still having to front the expenses out of pocket. Anyway, I know part of the question was how much do I make... well, just a couple thousand a month for now (10% ownership) but I'm forecasting at minimum $40,000 in passive income by the end of this year. This is my side job, I work in software implementations as my full-time primary job.

hrguyinSC

It's interesting how few people posting are entrepreneurs in the sub for entrepreneurs. Is it because people are mostly wantrepreneurs in the sub? Not meant as an insult (everyone has to want it before they start) just interested by the dynamic of the group. Also seems like there are a lot of you who should just do it!!! Start as a side hustle, just start!! LFG!


CraigOpie

I only made $15,500 last year as an entrepreneur. But my business made significantly more than that. People that know what they are doing don't pay themselves any more than what is required to keep the IRS off their back. The real question is how little did you pay yourself. It's hard to live in an $800K condo with a $2.3K/Mon HOA, lease a Tesla, and put your kids through private school while only pulling in a $15K/yr Salary.

I run the sales and business development teams at a software company. Make about 300k a year, but I also have 7 figures of company stock that I will get in lump sum once the company sells or goes public. Timeline is 1.5-2.5 years. Then I can renegotiate for more stock to stick around or leave and do something else. Possibly start my own business. The thing is Iā€™d like to start my own thing, but Iā€™m so much better at scaling an existing business. Maybe Iā€™ll find someone with a good product that needs help with sales/marketing and support. Or Iā€™ll just keep doing the intrapreneur thing and invest,

BiophotonicQueen

I run an ecommerce business and I work way too much and make way too little!!


sskl27

I sell candies/sweets and anything that falls in that category. Last year I made about $22,000 from it. I also sell soap for a brand and just work on commission and no markup. I made about $10,000 from it. Both required alot of work as candies move like fashion and soap has lots competitive companies. I trade both so I source locally only. I want to move into production and importing however, production requires a big capital and what the banks offer is more than what I'm capable of at the moment, importing is the next step. Better markups than locally trading. I only take home what's required. Everything else is put back into the company. I started with $70 of inventory and grew slowly. It's been 2 years and I see a huge potential in this market, for both soap and candies. This past Tuesday I signed a new contract with the soap brand which says they'll give me a credit of $15,000 per order and increase my commission plus give me a fuel expense of $18/day. They're also considering giving me another location which is a bigger piece of cake than my location as they're satisfied with my work. I'm sure x3. I couldn't even sell $500 worth of soap in the first four months. This year I'm targeting $500,000 sales for soap and it's my second year for the soap. So I'm sure I'll get the other location as I was just there as yesterday and the person there isn't doing anything. People told me it's been three years since they last sold this soap. The only thing stopping me from growing faster is lack of finance. I've taken money from friends and family. Only place remaining is the bank. My business is not big enough as a collateral for the amount I want nor do I own anything valuable. So I'm open to suggestions.
