Free RegistrationMy inspiration for my business was seeing how hard my parents have worked and are working to achieve greatness. So that inspired me to work hard each day in my business. I want to have something I can pass down to my future kids and make sure they have good lives like my parents have made for me. I started my business at 11 one year after my dad taught me the skills to work.
How do you stay motivated?The way that I personally stay motivated is knowing if I work in a smart way I will have a good future ahead of me. I am motivated by how hard that my parents work and if I were to not do anything I would feel meaningless. My customers also keep me motivated they show me how kind people are and that motivates me to work harder. As I seek more customers and get the results I always dreamed of that helps me to also stay motivated. I never would of thought that my business would pan out.
What would you do with the $25,000?With the $25,000 I would be able to purchase a truck, hire a worker to drive the truck. I would also purchase a used zero turn mower as well as a used snow plow for the front of the truck. That would make my 27 driveways that I need to do each time it snows a lot easier. I would also take $5,000 and invest it into the QQC-F to make my current investments higher. I would also use some of my money to buy my dad some new golf clubs and purchase for my mother her dream coffee machine.
