It's pretty complex, actually, like designs and materials and shipping and all that.
Right.
Whereas any dude can go rent an excavator on a Facebook marketplace and start digging a hole for a trampoline.
So it's like not sexy, but it's much more approachable.
And there could be three guys in every 30,000-person city owning that same business, which is what I love about it.
What's the difference?
Yeah.
So I'll speak to two businesses that I've actually started and not a hypothetical business like the trampoline one.
Binary outcome.
So
I own a tree trimming business and it's the best business in the world because we need to do one of two things, that's it.
We need to remove a tree entirely or we need to trim a tree, like specific branches.
So we show up, this one, cool.
We cut it down, we throw it in the truck, five-star review, 1500 bucks, right?
We've never got less than a five-star review, ever.
And it's not because we're amazing operators, it's just because it's simple.
Conversely, I've owned a house cleaning business and it was a nightmare.
It was an absolute wreck.
We were going through real estate agents because we thought, hey, they have a lot of surface area that they're touching and talking to a lot of homeowners on a daily basis so they can refer out all these jobs.
And then we had to get 1099s, all these house cleaners, because we didn't want employees.
