My dad sat me down and taught me how to run my lawn biz at age 13. P&L, billing, etc.
He gave me my first 5 clients. And a mower. I went to college in 2008 with $40k in the bank.
No mortgage, bills, and was on my parents health insurance when we started Storage Squad in 2011.

My partner and I lived for free in his family’s house for first 9 mo.
My girlfriend (now wife) paid the rent until 2014. She had our health insurance until 2017.

My dad was one of the 5 LPs on my first deal. 3 others came as referrals from him. I secured only one from my network.

I had a supportive family that would have sent me money for food or opened up their homes for me on a moments notice.
I never had food insecurity. I never had to choose between food or gas to get to work.
My family wasn’t wealthy, but they supported me in a major way.

You see the successful folks all over the internet and most (including me) make it appear we are self-made.
