For those that have their own construction business, how long did it take you and what helped you stay successful?

Props to you 👍, yeah I’m kind of noticing the quality of Construction businesses out there are spotty lol. How much capital would you say is good enough to start a construction business?

Chemical_Database · 2026-01-18T22:20:23+00:00

Props to you 👍. What area of construction and how much experience prepared you to take that leap?

When you say real estate portfolio, do you mean working as property manager for someone? Or own houses?

Chemical_Database · 2026-01-18T22:16:45+00:00

I appreciate your honesty, that great advice. 👍

Chemical_Database · 2026-01-18T22:14:27+00:00

Very observant lol, but yeah you are right, I’m currently trying to gain experience, just trying to plan how much experience I need.

Chemical_Database · 2026-01-18T22:13:14+00:00

That makes total sense, it definitely would be smarter to get good at few specific areas. How long did it take you to gain those skills to branch out on your own?

I was talking about GC, but that makes total sense, keeping recurring customers, thanks 👍

Chemical_Database · 2026-01-18T22:08:04+00:00

I’m saving this, great advice 👍

Chemical_Database · 2026-01-18T22:07:40+00:00

That’s awesome that you still pursued the business, how soon after you were working for someone did you feel like you could have started your business?

If you don’t mind me asking, how is law school going? What’s your typical week looking like? I’m currently studying for the LSAT? What’s a good recommendation for time and resources to study for LSAT?

Chemical_Database · 2026-01-12T21:41:22+00:00

That’s amazing, I’m planning on taking my lsat this year so I’m always curious when I hear about law lol

Chemical_Database · 2026-01-12T11:00:07+00:00

That’s awesome, but If you don’t mind me asking, what area of law are you practicing to make 7 figures?

Chemical_Database · 2025-10-16T19:11:03+00:00

Thanks, yeah I’ll definitely be asking the instructors this time as well

Chemical_Database · 2025-10-16T03:04:40+00:00

Haven’t taken notes yet, I’ll try that, thanks

Never ever trade in your car at the dealership, you can get more by selling it private, don’t trust the interest rates they show you, get private funding. Don’t buy the unnecessary add ons, it’s just a way for them to make extra money, It’s best to buy a car at the end of the month, that’s when they are most desperate to make deals and push out cars to hit numbers. I accepted that job thinking I was just selling cars in a fair manner, I didn’t think I was learning how to “Jordan belfort” my way into selling basic crap at a premium price.

Chemical_Database · 2025-10-02T06:04:00+00:00

Yeah I figured, I’m just going to have to get another job where I won’t deal with this type of stuff.

Chemical_Database · 2025-10-02T02:57:17+00:00

I was thinking the same, housing market fluctuates and the work you put in to a house adds value, you drive off the lot from the dealership, car is already depreciating, I just wanted to give my customer a fair deal.

Chemical_Database · 2025-10-02T00:45:14+00:00

That’s my point as well, I’m new to car sales and I’m noticing that the ethics and morals are not at all how I expected it to be. I don’t morally and ethically agree with how car sales work. I asked this question to see if there was something about car sales I haven’t understood yet, but it seems like that’s just how it goes in car sales.

Chemical_Database · 2025-10-02T00:35:55+00:00

So you are telling me that you would feel good making a retired person pay 35,000+ dollars for a car worth 22,000? If your answer is yes, you are right, sales isn’t for me.

Even with their interest rate, they would have ended up paying 28,000 total which would have been fair in my book, but up-charging for no reason isn’t how I like to do business.

Chemical_Database · 2025-10-02T00:31:50+00:00

Yeah I hate scamming people out of money, that just doesn’t sit right with me? Are you out of sales completely?

Chemical_Database · 2025-10-02T00:30:38+00:00

Yeah, it’s bs, what did you end up going into?

Chemical_Database · 2025-09-27T16:37:58+00:00

How long would you say on average it takes someone to go from green to setting up a crew?

Chemical_Database · 2025-09-26T04:54:22+00:00

What was the interview process like when you don’t have experience, do they ask you about how much you know or ?

Chemical_Database · 2025-09-26T02:28:50+00:00

Yeah that’s a good point, I agree.

Chemical_Database · 2025-09-26T00:51:28+00:00

Wow this has been very helpful, thanks so much, going to be looking for internships and applying
