In 4th grade I was thinking about what I was going to eat when I got home

The "American Dream" is right there if you're willing to work for it. Great story.

Stan, please keep making these videos. They are so inspiring for many people. I am 16, this is my 4th year. I hope this inspires many people to get off the couch and work! God Bless!

Im 23 started at 19 and I kick myself for not starting earlier keep up the good work!!

It’s called loving supportive parents and grandparents never mentioned in the video.

He probably helped out with his dad. That’s where he learned and gained valuable experience to be successful. He saved up all his money he got. Keep up the good work.

Man that is great when he gets out of school he does not have to worry about working for someone else he already has it going on.

This kid has it figured out. Great video and it's nice to see young people with a great work ethic.

This has got to be the craziest story I've ever heard for starting a small business

Man, when my brother and I started our "yard work" business at 12 and 13 years old, we thought that $300-$500 or so per year was awesome money. We were rolling in the dough at $3 an hour for a couple of years there!

Started in fourth grade with a junk mower and a push broom. Now I'm 15 with 4 scags, truck, trailer, and atv snow plow setup. Great videos keep up the good content.

It's encouraging to see that there are still young people who don't expect things to be handed to them. Great to see some people still have "the old fashion work ethic" 👍👍👍👍

64 thumbs down? They’re probably waiting at home for the government check to arrive!

Great to hear this type of success and dedication!

You're a badass Colin, good luck and continued growth in the future!

This is awesome Stan, you always get the best guests for your channel!

I have to say my favorite part about these videos is the ending..."God bless".

Great video. I've been in bussiness 12 years now. My son is 16. He comes to work with me in the summer. He is eager to help and take the business over. I teach him all the mistakes I have made throughout the years and all the good decisions I have made as well. I hope he will do as well as this kid has done. I am making my son earn the buss. You are right it is hard hearing it's your dad's company. So my customers are starting to see him out at an early age. Great job kid! Keep up the good work!

Awesome video man! Im getting my chemical applicator license and adding overseeding, aerating etc to my list of services next year and it's always nice to see someone with drive have the results they deserve. Thanks again for posting this video!

Man i work for currently did this, He already had his plumbing master license so the first half of difficulties was done. he left and i did to, been with him since the first day, he has taught me how to be an excellent plumber, how to be thorough, and im still with him to this day. He has always put me first and now we have a well established company and the phone never stops ringing. this country is amazing, and it owes you nothing. so just try and keep going.

I am Cuba live in Havana, Cuba, 61 years old. Very motivating story for me. I am freelancer since 2003 touristic-oriented since 2009 as Tourist Guide but before I am experienced professional in many branches. In 2017 I was trying to start a construction business in my country but it´s true the regime is oriented to non-permitting private iniciatives and still stands as obstacle. For today I keep on staying freelancing... who knows. Best regards Walter

Good for him I’m sure his folks helped out of course that’s ok . He’s a go getter go kid go ! I’ve been working since 13 and when I graduated high school i had $100k bought my first home when I was 18 lived there for 6 months painted it and fixed couple things and sold it for double what I paid and I was hooked after that I lived it breathed it hustled it like crazy . And this kid is doing all that. You too can do it to just gotta dedicate and stop making excuses go get it done whatever it is no excuse or I’ll do it tomorrow no do it in that moment you thought about getter done !! Congrats kid wish more kids were like that our youth is in sand shape today !

This is great. Seeing other people crush it just makes everyone else want to crush it too!

Well done young man. You got the formula down. Keep up the good work.

I believe him. Not hard to gross $500k. 15-20% profit. $75-$100k for hard work.

- "how did you do it you weren't born wit a silver spoon?" -"we bought a 800 dollar mower from Sears when I was 9"

Look forward to these videos every time 👌🏽

Awesome story. At 36 with bad back problems from 20+ years working in a factory making a rich man richer while barely making enough to get by, I wish I made better choices.

Cullen is doing an awesome job, such an inspiration

Wow... that’s amazing. All I can say RESPECT to you!

Not fed with a silver spoon. Had $1500 in the bank in the 4th grade. Lol

proof positive pretty much anyone in this country can do extremely well for themselves regardless of age. just a matter of ambition

That is the hardest park finding good guys who know what they're doing

Lads got big balls! Good on ya mate! Hope you make it big time.

I would Love to meet this kid, I'm 20 and doing the same thing myself, been going since 12 years old.

Young kid making America Great. awesome.

Awesome video! My biggest struggle in my business is doing the books, the taxes, etc...

Thanks Stanley, great content!

God Bless You guy's!! Thanks Again!

Good for him! Its nice to see someone from the younger generation thats a real go-getter out there. Hope for this world after all. ;-)

Much respect for this young dude!

This little guy is amazing.

Incredible journey!

Very inspiring young man. I have older brothers and in saying that because of them I was able to do snow removal every single year since 5 years old. This is not far fetched, it's a young man that is a thinker and not a follower. P.S yes I'm still in buisness too and I'm 27. Dont underestimate the human mind, if you truly want something you will make it happen. Another great video stan, thanks

You're only as good as your last job 💪💪 Thanks for that!

It's not possible if your folks "require you" to go to college. It's just not. If you're one born into a family of contractors....today...that's a blessing...by far a better income and life style.

I believe it. I will find good help and be at his level!

That's Awesome stuff this guy is motivated to dig in

That’s awesome. Great job young man.

I had to come back and grab a couple of these videos to send one of my best friends that his son is mowing grass and I know this will help him start his business if that's what he decides to do I told him last night to get on this channel man and you can learn a lot 👊🏼👊🏼

somthing i would like to see is not just how they got started but how they learned some of the things like how to properly bid jobs or properly lay a path?

Great interview

awesome this guy

I love this!

loved it!

Another Pittsburgh Guy!! Love it. Go Steelers

Great a Video Really inspirational

Amen!!! Great job kid.

Hey man good for you, I'm just in awe watching this. For me its so cool to see this because I have literally the same story for me. I'm 23, been doing lawn care and landscaping for 11 years, 5 of those latest years now officially on the book working for myself. Like you its my own business I started from nothing, and like you not with "Daddy's Money" I know just as much as you the everyday struggles from day one the long days and nights and all the behind the scenes work. With our young generation falling to the "give me everything and don't want to work" crap, its awesome to see more of these real stories out there! Again congratulations kid, you got a great thing going on and have a lot to be proud of. - Josh Scott - Scott's Lawn Service, LLC - New Holstein, WI .

Congratulations!!🎈🎉

Welp, He sure Motivated me ✊🏾

That’s amazing

Inspiring for the young ones

That’s mind blowing

Freaking great story! Great video!

mason work is where its at. its easy and people love it.

hard work and determination,thats how I did it.No sitting around when I was younger,my old man forced us to work,im glad he did.I went to trade school,got a ticket,worked UNION and NON UNION.Invested in heavy equipment and now am phasing out corporations and working for myself.GET A TRADE,ANY TRADE,then branch out,and do what you want later in life.KEEP YOUR DEBTS IN CHECK!!!!!!!!!

Awesome story young Man!!

Man, some people hit it big! I’ve been trying to grow my business for 3 years and it just isn’t happening for me. I get a good contract every now and then but it’s not stable at all. I’m in the floor covering demo and installation business

Great work, man. Keep it up! And all of these fellas saying stuff about how it's good to see someone like him out of this "lazy" younger generation is out of touch. I guaran-damn-tee most kids nowadays work harder than y'all did back in the day, and now.

Very inspirational young man. My question is how do you learn how to do these type of jobs? Going from cutting grass to these other projects shown in video such as, retaining walls, stone work, etc.

Very inspiring

Nice video man

Great story!

And to think I know people who are so incompetent, they can't comprehend the simplest and most common sense problems you come across in life. This man is truly impressive.

Awesome stuff!

Damn, I can't wait till (if) I get there! Right now I am at the step of needing a truck... any advise for me on a truck? I have a leaf loader for the fall, so it would be best if I got a dump truck, but idk. I'm trying to budget around $6,000, which I know isn't a lot. I'm 14. Thanks!

glad to see a local boy! #pittsburgh

Respect

kids killing it good job brother this is my dream i checked out his page i see a mini excavator that’s awesome

My son's in 3rd grade just got his first job. Walking my aunt's dog once a day for 10 minutes. I go with him. Makes $25 a week plus $10 allowance. He got 100 oz of silver and $600 saved. Trying to teach him how to save because if same was done for me since same age, things would be different for me right now.

well done kid a future multi

"You just bought a skid steer for $62,000+?" "Yeah, *we* bought..." Exactly. Hats off to him, no doubt, but he was clearly a high schooler with old money backing him up. I can't even imagine a bank giving him a loan for that much at such an age, unless again he had help from parents.

Im doing this same business..I did by myself without support from my parents.I have saving attitude since kid.

I just wanted to share something as I'm seeking a little guidance. I've recently decided that I wanted to take the first step to achieving my goal of becoming an owner of what I hope one day will be a successful business. I've started out purely detailing cars (what my channel is dedicated to) but soon I want to branch out and incorporate marketing and advertising to aid people in selling their cars boats and/or motorbikes, essentially igniting the vehicle market scene by bringing together a combination of many media methods with exceptional detailing to increase the chances of a successful sale. Only thing is I'm finding it difficult to get amongst like minded people that can assist and provide some information and knowledge face to face with getting a business off the ground. Basically what I'm wanting is some educated opinions of my business idea. Is it best to look for an experienced person or asking my potential target audience? Sorry about the large comment. Anyway this video is very inspiring and it's so good to hear from successful people and how they got started!

Great work, my fellow blue collar business guys!!

Wow!! That inspired me greatly. I'm 35 been in business for 8 years only making around 100 k now doing maintenance and a couple small hardscapes a year. Time to step it up! Thanks for the video.

Yeaaaaaa parents got money somewhere to start

Consistency!!!!

I started the same time as him

I'm from south Africa i started at 14 with no parents was n millionair at 26 no bullshit its just hard work and if there is fear its sometimes good to have that fear drives u to success

I have a lawn care business I mow remove snow and remove leaves and can also aerate some small yards

I respect these kids parents for exposing him to the real in fucking 4th grade. Damn! At 4th grade I was wondering what computer game I was gonna play when I got home

Pittsburgh is a great place for hardscaping

From one entrepreneur to another screw Angie's list home advisor is where it's at

$$ can help when I was freshmen I had no$$ for adverts lol

hey stanley I want to work for a business similar to yours im turning 18 on the 16th. any tips on where i should start?

How do you feel about home advisor as a contractor land scaper?

Got it out the muscle

Nice
