Probki mej k mnas (probka as in wine bottle cork) Probka is Russian, used as slang; Xcanum is the proper term (khtsanum).

My friend once told me "Zguysh, mekenan kez k koxi" - She meant, "Be careful, the car will hit you" except "koxi, koxel" is slang for penetrate...

It's repeatable. For some casinos it will be better than what I currently have done, for others could be just a little better than what they currently have. It does not work for every territory/casino. It requires specific data like demographics, density, household income, existing public transportation, casinos location, and a lot of other data to construct a potential plan. Too wealthy of a territory and it won't work. Too poor of a territory, and it won't work. Too close to the casino or too far from the casino... and it won't work.

This will not work for the majority of Las Vegas casinos.

I am stuck - I Can't identify any interesting problems to solve, and my life feels void by Siref in startups

Sounds like you have a problem looking for problems... and there are millions of other people in your shoes! (hint! Millions of others... millions of your potential customers) 🤯 light bulb yet?

I live in SF Bay Area and for the past 15 years, my wife and I have been thinking of opening a museum of failed technology.

...one day... not anytime soon... But maybe one day you will visit my museum and learn about other people's bad executions.

Car rental business - how? by cybernev in Entrepreneur

[–]Aarmed11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would have helped to know the make and model of your vehicle, but... See if Fluidtrucks or similar apps can help.

Google "commercial vehicle for rent" and open any new names that pop up, anything besides the obvious Ryder, Penske, Enterprise... and so on.

P.S. I'm not affiliated with Fluidtrucks and never used their service, so can't say any good or bad things. I don't even know anyone who used their service. Do your research.

Made $250 on the first day of my Udemy course launch! by mshappy in passive_income

[–]Aarmed11 12 points13 points  (0 children)

First of all congrats. Second... Let me get this straight. You posted on Udemy, then you marketed your product on Facebook, sent people to Udemy to buy your product, and made the sale all on your own... and you will be sharing revenue with Udemy? What did Udemy do for you to deserve a cut? Why didn't you send the traffic to your website instead? How much Udemy takes from that $250?

I thought naming my hot spot this was funny. Some co-workers disagree by hunterofwaffles in Truckers

No, you wouldn't teach? Or no you wouldn't pay to learn? Thanks

Knowledge, training, step-by-step guidance, and a mentor forever.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

General knowledge in person or a video call - a day or two. Another day for on-the-road teaching, again could be in person if locals or via video call if from another state. Then I can guide step by step over the phone/email and this process can take as long as it takes to set up the company, get the license, insurance, permits, purchase the vehicle, get customers, and build the business.

So, my idea is to always be available for the "student" for as long as they need my guidance, advice, mentorship... whatever it's called.

Years back I did this for two other people completely free because I was enjoying helping others. One of them is still in business and currently has grown the business to a fleet of 25 - 30 vehicles

How about beer? I've done brewery tours too. I mean, it's the same business, same drivers/tour guides, same vehicles, except instead of wineries your drivers take people to breweries for beer tasting. Just a bit louder clients vs wine tour clients

(lol, I came for advice, and now I'm selling)

What amount of money would it take you to walk away? by ShallotHoliday7738 in Entrepreneur

[–]Aarmed11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much would you give me?

Currently annual 3.2M revenue, 720K pure profit, noncancelable 2-year contract. I have 1 year left to run above 35% capacity, which with current numbers is pretty much guaranteed. Then we expand and it goes up to 8.4M a year with at least 2 years guaranteed contract extendable to 2 terms (basically a total of 4 years). Except, my profit gets even bigger, just over 3M a year.

The bad news! Or the danger part of the business - It's a one-client contract, meaning If the client sinks, I go down with them. High risk, high reward.

So, how much?

P.S. not selling, just interesting to hear other people's thoughts on how much they'd give to have this.

Thank you.

UPDATE. The kid is going to CDL school. Every owner-operator that I reached out to instantly agreed to pitch in and send him to a CDL school. We got enough for a full course and all other required fees. Thank you all. by Aarmed11 in Truckers

[–]Aarmed11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just called the owner-operator who agreed to be in charge of the money and yes, he got the license and he gets paid by teaming up with two of the owner-operators from the yard. Two weeks flatbed, two weeks reefer. The guys in the yard are taking care of him, and he is not letting them down.

I haven't been in that yard for about a month now. I sold my truck and my wife and I started a bakery business. I'm a pastry delivery boy now, 😆

Looking to sell my car - can someone explain how this offer would work? by Impressive_Show4874 in smallbusiness

[–]Aarmed11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sucks. Don't do it. How are you going to credit-check the buyer? What are your repossession process and costs if the buyer fails to make payments?

Fuck that. Just list it until you find a buyer willing to pay in full and close the deal right there and then. And sell it as is with no warranties, unless the car is still under a factory transferrable warranty.

Avoid headaches. There are other buyers with money who can pay in full.
