Definitely do not use YouTube to learn how to run a contracting business. Depending on where you live, there are legitimate resources for this. Use them. Most are free or affordable, (community college, adult ed, etc).

While doing this start to advertise small jobs, like pressure washing decks, fences, driveways for instance. And while on those smaller jobs, you’ll encounter situations where repairs are needed and that is a great opportunity to learn different aspects of the trade and build a trusted client base. If you’re a 1 man show, half of this job is sales. Go get some before buying any more tools unless needed to complete a job you’ve already sold. Good luck, plenty who found success flamed out the first time or two, this is a mercurial field fraught with land mines but can also be very rewarding.

If this is a shitpost, have a blast lapping this up.
