Homeschool, working and saving at such young ages. I’d really like to see an interview with the parents. They obviously had a plan mapped out for their kids.
Homeschooling mom here. My 18 year old is an apprentice with a stone mason. $20.00/hr to start. Homeschooled kids generally start work much earlier. Mine all started at 14. My daughter already has a nest egg, zero debt, and a plan for her future. The modern way of schooling produces forever children chasing pleasure....
Very inspiring, and a great success story (so far). Just a tip for the young man... Make sure that you're including your sister in your remarks (sounds like you are doing everything from your wording). I heard a lot of "I's" in the video. As a salesman myself, I know how easy it is to feel so proud for being the "moneymaker," that our ego can get the best of us. Just remember to show your love AND appreciation to your sister (partner), and your team as a whole, and you'll grow to an even bigger, more respected company. Communication, and appreciation are the keys to business. You're all off to a phenomenal start! Keep on kicking a$$! :)
it helps to be handed a multi million dollar business, with a customer base developed over 3 generations,. but yeah. its all them. totally. 17 years old. got a 50k truck, 15k trailer and 200k in machines. from their summers mowing grass., lmao. you people will believe anything.
They are the perfect couple, I know they are brother and sister, but I meant perfect business couple, plus they were raised together, the same seed but 2 very completely different personalities, but very complementary, one is a bulldozer, outgoing and not scared of anything, he is the front of the company, and the little quiet girl is the sniper, insuring the bulldozer back, and feeding him the fuel...A dream team! As long as they stay together they will make tracks to HUGE success....
Too bad they brainwashed several generations into thinking college was the only way. Then had guidance counselors in school perpetuate it and use fear to ensure it stuck.
Another "All meat no filler" killer content video my friend. These kids are so inspiring. I am going to show it to my kids, their generation needs more role models like these two. Your videos are great, entertaining and educational. Thanks for posting
Home school and a good set of values . Great to see these kids independently succeed. Public school will only teach you how to be a employee and a victim.
Obviously this is a great team and both of them are Very impressive. She does what I hate to do but it's just as important as moving dirt. God Bless them
Im 13 and have a roofing job during summer break and hope to start a business like this! I also love construction work and its been in my family for years
Having people you can trust is a big, if not the biggest part of their whole story there. If they didn’t have each other working toward the same goals and growth, the jobs and sacrifices would amount to a fraction of the growth they have had. It’s really awesome they found that trust with each other so young. I hope they stick together in the good and bad and keep growing and kicking butt.
Been watching your channel for a few years now and seen Garrett featured in a more recent video. I think it's absolutely awesome what Marlene and Him have created. Such a out going person and down to earth. Props to him and his sister!
Live outside of our comfort zone n order to b successful is one of the best advice I've got n a long time young man.Thank u Stan so much for searing these awesome young guys & Gale story.
This is an awesome story and very inspiring to me. I'm 34 and eager to start a plumbing business, but am afraid to take the leap. Watching this and several of your videos helps me and I'm sure many others get started on their own.
charles king DO IT BRO!! Maybe start out part time but do it full time ASAP. But always remember “ happy wife , happy life”. If you’re married that is. You can do it. Visualize and mentally ascend to that goal, you will make it a reality before you know it.
My brother and I are actually going to buy a decent size piece of land, clear it, grade it, fence it in and use part of it for RV and boat storage to subsidize the costs for now. Just gotta be creative to keep those costs down. Love your videos. They’ve helped us immensely.
Awesome video, these Kids are so inspiring... No excuses for failure anymore, unless you damn sure trying hard too.... Rent it until you can afford to buy it... Its called Hustling... Kudos to them...
Pretty judgmental with the “tatted up” comment.... how do you know if he has tattoos or not? And if he does (or anyone that does) does that make someone less intelligent or less motivated to succeed?? 🤔
Aiza Reimers ,,Yes! As once was a homeschooler..dad..& my children were very intelligent,, more experienced & wiser than ,peers in same age; grade level.. : )
Aiza Reimers You have some discernment... there is proven studies ..of tats " fake" .self esteem& body immage esp. in women , These youth have self esteem, that isn' t fake,, or egotistical . Shalom
Awesome interview. I always treated my customers like family and grew and grew. Commercial laundry repairs and chemical supply. Self taught as an electrician. The bigger the machine the more fun. Always pushing my comfort zone. Great interview and really struck a cord. 👍😎👌
The kid's comment at 1:39 about wanting to do something outside his comfort-zone was awesome. I'm 53 and I still like doing things I've never done before. My next projects are 1) install my 1st paver patio and 2) Create an Android and iPhone native app using the Microsoft Xamarin development platform that creates cross-platform mobile apps using C# / .NET.
That's the way to buy some equipment. They did good on a machine that size for $12,500. I bought a 1991 Komatsu PC-300 in good running shape for $20,000 in 2008 when the banks crashed and there were foreclosure auctions. All the paying work went a way for years in my area with the recession, but that thing paid for itself right fairly fast on properties I had and I could easily sell it now for what I paid 12 years later. Now the works been back a few years and it's been on paying jobs. It's been a good machine. Mine looks very similar to that old Kobelco. Some of the older equipment was better when they were built before the price of steel sky rocketed and they started over computerizing them. Once the price of steel jumped in the early 2000's they started using thinner materials here and there to save money. Some of the machines started having boom and stick cracking and breaking problems cause of that.
me and my friends looked into starting our own business. We wanted to start a small Charter/Air Taxi company. We all had the knowledge, lacked a little bit of experience but unfortunately we couldn't financially afford to start our own business. Equipment, maintenance, facilities, staff, operating costs, regulations, all started to add up. We do plan to revisit the idea at some point.
I'm new to your channel. I really enjoy your content. It's so refreshing to hear good sound and positive advice! The proof is in the inspiration you have instilled in these young entrepreneurs. I am a 45 year old flooring installer with one failed business attempt behind me. Your videos have rekindled a spark to try to get it right this time. And to see these siblings succeed is inspiring. Great work! Great content! Peace
Their kids where born into the business it makes a big difference when you get handed the tools and experience oposed to someone that don't know anyone trying to get experience every one that looked for a job knows how hard it is to get a job without experience
@Ck Jenks yep I heir what your saying I worked oil field for 12 years. It takes 2 boys or one man is what I always told the guys and same thing 20 guys show up and 2 or 3 stay. The rest just go home and play video games in their mom's basement
They learned the trade from their grandparents. They started the business themselves. The equipment and customers they earned/got themselves. Nothing was handed to them.
Ah the sweet music of excuses in the morning. Go get an entry level job in whatever field you wanna start a business in and get experience. You don't have to start a business tomorrow if you don't have the skills, go get the skills first. But if the only skill you have is making lame excuses... well I dunno any business that fits that criteria, maybe you should consider politics?
Congratulations You Two👍🏻👍🏻, pretty cool what you have accomplished. Wish you both great success. Thanks Stan for doing a series in them, was interesting, fun, & very enjoyable 😊 Having 2 different companies, & being a consultant for many others.....I’m a firm believer that multiple ppl w/in a company need to know how to run/operate other parts of the business. Just b/c someone else knows “another part of the business” doesn’t mean the main “guy/girl” will be replaced; & I believe that’s a fear some have, & than become reluctant to train & share the knowledge w/ others in the company. No one person can do EVERYTHING FOREVER in a company/business, if they want to grow & be eventually be profitable. The other thing I’ve learned, is that if you do decide to hire family & friends to work in your business; you must set guidelines/boundaries, like you would, with any other employee (granted, there are some who can separate personal friendships etc....from “WORK LIFE”; but it can be a hard thing to do for some & a good way to alienate friends/family for something that happened while at work......just an FYI). Cheers✌🏼
Do they have a flood season in that area. Was the original grade to burn the water from reaching house. I guess if township ok permit it’s not an issue. The best thing these guys did was not go into debt to acquire equipment.
Love it. At roughly 12:25 mark when the young guy took over and said hit like and subscribe I did just that. Hahaha. Good job. Thx for sharing guys. Very inspiring. 🙌👊👊👊
I'm 27yo will a horticulture degree and 1 of my hardest things is selling jobs and having to prove you know what your doing so I'm just wondering like who is hiring these kids to do big jobs like that without having that experience factor? Great job guys! Love these videos
It's hard to beat friendly and open and hi how's it going, I saw your pile of dirt, i can spread that for you. Straight to the point. People aren't stupid. Talk to them like a real person and you'll gain their respect and trust just with your demeanor. That says it all. Trust equals hired.
My biggest worry is to get good ppl in place running things, then they will take the customers & start their own business, or embezzle from you if you're not around very often
Everyone has 24 hours in their day. These young folks have figured out how to use theirs to accomplish what they want to accomplish. They also learned early on that you can produce results or excuses, but you can't produce results and excuses. They also didn't let what they didn't have stop them from finding a way to do what they needed to do. Bottom line, let them enjoy the fruits of their labors and successes, and of course you enjoy the fruits of your own labors and successes. They created it their way, you create it your way, no reason to expect your results to be the same as theirs.
Jus gota tell the from the beginning, if you fall you're fired on the way down. If you do something stupid you're fired before the incident hurts you. If only that would really work
One huge piece of the puzzle is that you need to be in an area with a solid economy, otherwise no one has money and projects are few and far between, and also an area that isn't saturated with competition..
Most sht is simple they just over complicate things in life. Most things can be figured out with simple math, add, subtract, multiply. divide. Spread Sheets, and Apps
Also a lot easier when you start that young, live at home with parents. Huge future ahead of themselves. Even if their business fails, they’ve already gone leaps and bounds ahead of where others their age are
@Stanley Genadek, I know this is off subject but I'm just getting started in the business doing small grading jobs and some others. I have watched quite a few of you're videos. I notice, sometimes you do work for the state or the city etc. You should do a video on how you go about submitting a bid on an RFP to the local government.
I don't know how to scale as a high end remodeler. Its impossible to find good subs and employees..... so this means that I am always on the job. Any advice?
I too am in a very high skill very small niche market. In our 8th year and I've got a family member full time and a couple of part timers for lower skilled fill work. As a 51 year old and 20 years of 70hr weeks I've decided that the risks of growth outweigh the benefits of paying more taxes....so, I'm content with freedom and my salary and we are moving forward until my daughter wants to grow.
What I learned since labor is just impossible in my market, since my customers are my friends I was able to get pricing where I needed it, just like Garrett said. We do similar numbers that these guys do, but with very low overhead, I'm still making 4x what I ever could as an employee. I don't need to pay $500k a year in taxes....
My advice is to do whatever you can to get good employees. Sometimes this means hiring average employees and then training them until they meet your standards. Just remember you want to work on your business, not in it and it’s very difficult to stop working in your business when you start to scale as both employees and customers will start relying and/or expecting you to be there.
@@tonydarcy7475 I've found that customers are surprisingly willing to accept employees providing they get introduced by me and I show up to get them started the first couple of times the customer meets them. After that, no problem. I placed employees on lower skill set portions of the work as soon as I was able to afford them. I still stay involved with the customers (these are all repeat, annual, semi or quarterly visit customers), so I make sure I stop in anytime I'm doing my skilled portion and am nearby.
It really get's down to not how much you make in the front door, but how much you keep. There's taxes, employees, contractors that will ebb away quickly at that $625,000. All it takes is one recession / depression and then you can't make payments on the equipment and creditors won't lend you any credit and the business goes down in the quicksand. It's really how much debt & overhead to income ratio there is. Taxes will always be your biggest expense.
@Tony Humbert I knew about not crossing the state line, but I never thought about insurance. I wanted to do this kind of work and everyone told me I need my cdl.
They are great. Kids, do like they did while you're STILL AT HOME! Once you're paying all YOUR OWN bills and on your own, it's ten times as hard! Oh yeah, and don't get married yet!
not hating but im sure what he means is he lived at his parents house and didnt have to spend any money back out on rent and groceries. its easy to save 12k like that.
@@OffroadTrucker740 If it's a summer job for three months. He made over 12 grand "before taxes" in one summer thats over a grand a week "thats $25 plus an hour" . How many jobs in your area pays $25/hr with no education? I'm sure he worked for his grandfather or dad to make that. I have a few friends that got started that way. Two own land clearing businesses, worked for dad then wen't on their own. One does real estate and rental property, took over fathers company All three are doing very well. It's probally safe to say all three are millionaires or close to it.
@@bones6554 i wouldnt doubt he got paid that working for his own family. a seasonal job like this can run april through november too, perhaps may to september being in that northern climate. you could work more than 3 months and it still be considered a "summer job"
A very rich man once told me how he always could tell the person who was going to make it in business and the person who would fail. The person who would fail would take their first big profit and buy the big house and expensive car and mortgage it to the hilt, mark them, they were doomed to fail. The person who continued to live in their tiny apartment or dumpy house and worked and paid off their business, and then bought the big house with the pool and expensive car, they would almost always be ultimately successful.
Well..yeah. They're obviously in a climate where that's more possible than other places. And the income demographic they work in is probably somewhat above average. If I built 40%-50% profit into my jobs, I'd never turn a wheel all year.

This is what. People mean when you hear the phrase the American dream...hard work, dedication...honesty....networking...
Evidence of great home-schooling. WAY TO GO PARENTS!!!
Don’t waste 4 years on college and start of with a huge debt. Find something you’re passionate about and build your own success.
It's a good backup plan though.
Too bad they brainwashed several generations into thinking college was the only way. Then had guidance counselors in school perpetuate it and use fear to ensure it stuck.
Yes.
Another "All meat no filler" killer content video my friend. These kids are so inspiring. I am going to show it to my kids, their generation needs more role models like these two. Your videos are great, entertaining and educational. Thanks for posting
Stan, imitation is the highest compliment you can be given. Thanks for being a business role model to Garrett and Marlena.
Home school and a good set of values . Great to see these kids independently succeed. Public school will only teach you how to be a employee and a victim.

I make one thing clear. Me making a dollar isnt worth you getting hurt. Having them covered for the dumb acidents is a must
Jus gota tell the from the beginning, if you fall you're fired on the way down. If you do something stupid you're fired before the incident hurts you. If only that would really work
One huge piece of the puzzle is that you need to be in an area with a solid economy, otherwise no one has money and projects are few and far between, and also an area that isn't saturated with competition..
Most sht is simple they just over complicate things in life.
Most things can be figured out with simple math, add, subtract, multiply. divide. Spread Sheets, and Apps
They seem to be doing something right.
Also a lot easier when you start that young, live at home with parents. Huge future ahead of themselves. Even if their business fails, they’ve already gone leaps and bounds ahead of where others their age are
@Stanley Genadek, I know this is off subject but I'm just getting started in the business doing small grading jobs and some others. I have watched quite a few of you're videos. I notice, sometimes you do work for the state or the city etc. You should do a video on how you go about submitting a bid on an RFP to the local government.
Thank you for watching and thanks for the suggestion !
I don't know how to scale as a high end remodeler. Its impossible to find good subs and employees..... so this means that I am always on the job. Any advice?
I too am in a very high skill very small niche market. In our 8th year and I've got a family member full time and a couple of part timers for lower skilled fill work. As a 51 year old and 20 years of 70hr weeks I've decided that the risks of growth outweigh the benefits of paying more taxes....so, I'm content with freedom and my salary and we are moving forward until my daughter wants to grow.
What I learned since labor is just impossible in my market, since my customers are my friends I was able to get pricing where I needed it, just like Garrett said. We do similar numbers that these guys do, but with very low overhead, I'm still making 4x what I ever could as an employee. I don't need to pay $500k a year in taxes....
My advice is to do whatever you can to get good employees. Sometimes this means hiring average employees and then training them until they meet your standards. Just remember you want to work on your business, not in it and it’s very difficult to stop working in your business when you start to scale as both employees and customers will start relying and/or expecting you to be there.
@@tonydarcy7475 I've found that customers are surprisingly willing to accept employees providing they get introduced by me and I show up to get them started the first couple of times the customer meets them. After that, no problem. I placed employees on lower skill set portions of the work as soon as I was able to afford them. I still stay involved with the customers (these are all repeat, annual, semi or quarterly visit customers), so I make sure I stop in anytime I'm doing my skilled portion and am nearby.
Where are these guys located I’d like to work for them
It really get's down to not how much you make in the front door, but how much you keep. There's taxes, employees, contractors that will ebb away quickly at that $625,000. All it takes is one recession / depression and then you can't make payments on the equipment and creditors won't lend you any credit and the business goes down in the quicksand. It's really how much debt & overhead to income ratio there is. Taxes will always be your biggest expense.
God bless them. That’s awesome
😁👊
If he has the resources he should look into getting his cdl. It could really open up even more doors.
@Tony Humbert I knew about not crossing the state line, but I never thought about insurance. I wanted to do this kind of work and everyone told me I need my cdl.
They are great. Kids, do like they did while you're STILL AT HOME! Once you're paying all YOUR OWN bills and on your own, it's ten times as hard! Oh yeah, and don't get married yet!
Excuses excuses
Really enjoyed the video and story. Thank you!
Awesome video!!
Fantastic!
Dude keep them coming. Get out of your comfort zone
AWESOME......
Thanks!👊
Good for these kids. Great job. I think she has no choice but to be the silent partner.
Did their parents take out loans cosign or give them heavy equipment?
Not a dime, just taught them to be hard working.
Love it!
God Bless !!
I’m 20 and I’m networking exactly like these guys only thing is I’m a tree climber.
Thanks for watching Bill!
Seeing these guys helped make my path clear, I’m doing so many things just like they are and this made me realize it’s just a matter of time
Awesome stuff. Hae Stan could I get one of your hats to new Zealand?
This is what makes America great. 😊 ❤ ✝
Great stuff Thanks!
You're welcome David!
How much did you make that first year as a 16 year old to afford that big of a machine?
Anyone agree they need to rev that old kobelco up just a tad!? Haha
Dang this guy made $12,000 plus for summer job! What company did he work for?
not hating but im sure what he means is he lived at his parents house and didnt have to spend any money back out on rent and groceries. its easy to save 12k like that.
@@OffroadTrucker740 If it's a summer job for three months. He made over 12 grand "before taxes" in one summer thats over a grand a week "thats $25 plus an hour" . How many jobs in your area pays $25/hr with no education? I'm sure he worked for his grandfather or dad to make that. I have a few friends that got started that way. Two own land clearing businesses, worked for dad then wen't on their own. One does real estate and rental property, took over fathers company All three are doing very well. It's probally safe to say all three are millionaires or close to it.
@@bones6554 i wouldnt doubt he got paid that working for his own family. a seasonal job like this can run april through november too, perhaps may to september being in that northern climate. you could work more than 3 months and it still be considered a "summer job"
@@bones6554 people like him don’t work only 40 hours/week
Good for these two young kids most kids nowadays want to sit in front of the TV and play their damn video games or bury their face in their phone
A very rich man once told me how he always could tell the person who was going to make it in business and the person who would fail. The person who would fail would take their first big profit and buy the big house and expensive car and mortgage it to the hilt, mark them, they were doomed to fail. The person who continued to live in their tiny apartment or dumpy house and worked and paid off their business, and then bought the big house with the pool and expensive car, they would almost always be ultimately successful.
Very impressed with these young people! But no way their equipment works everyday.What about weather?Rain,light snow etc.
Well..yeah. They're obviously in a climate where that's more possible than other places. And the income demographic they work in is probably somewhat above average. If I built 40%-50% profit into my jobs, I'd never turn a wheel all year.
Nice to start from money no rent or Bills
Great video!
