Transcript

I stole the business idea right off of the website. And if I had to start a new business in 2026, this is exactly what I would do. I would actually look into the simplest businesses. Think landscaping, event planning, maybe even bookkeeping. That would market to the biggest client, which is your state, county, city, and even the federal government contracting. Contracting is where you can grow a five to seven figure business with the simplest services. You don't need a pretty business, or a trendy business, or the next AI innovation. What you need is a repeatable, scalable system to grow an income. That could be done with essential products and services sold to the government.
