I am slowing down for the year in the construction and have lost my passion for dealing with the insanity of the business. It is time for some new insanity. My plan is to shift gears and go into Hauling, e-waste, and metals full time.
It is Black Friday and I started last night making plans and posting a few ads. Already had a few calls.
The Purpose of this thread
1. Post my goals, this creates accountability for me to achieve results.
2. Help scrappers become more successful by sharing information.
3. Track my results and get input from the seasoned veterans.
Goals
* Make $1,000,000 in the next 5 years
* Open Retail Buying Location by March 1st, 2013
* Create Donation Bins Program for in-store drop offs
* Become R2 Certified
* Create Fundraising Donation Program.
I am working out the Marketing Plan now. I wil post my methods of advertising and marketing as well as the results. I am going to keep things real simple as it it impossible to get complicated with my budget. Essentially I will be starting with very limited funds. What I am going to do is take what I have to the yard on Monday and that will be my entire budget. LOL. I know the power of a motivated individual and what I can achieve. Working from my basement coal cellar workshop and kitchen table I start upon the path of creating something. Time wil only tell what happens once the excitement wears off and the exhaustion comes on strong.
Look back for updates.
