By the way, I'm busing tables, serving tables, and bartending, and I'm flipping Bowflexes.

I buy them on...

craigslist sell them on the arizona republic i've sold over 300 bow flexes and then i did total gyms and i sold over a thousand cars buy them fix them clean them sell them and so i'm doing all these things and i mean i am hustling i am like the epitome of hustler at this point and i was like sure how much you're gonna pay me he's like i could pay you a hundred dollars to paint per garage door but you got to pay for the paint and the tape

And the paper.

So I was like, I had a G20 Infinity, a 96.

It had 120,000 miles on it and it was cheap on gas.

And by the way, 2006, 2005, this is when the real estate market was booming.

And so I hired a painter, this old man, and I paid him $300 per door to teach me.

He taught me on three doors.

I went to Home Depot, bought a Magnum 5 paint gun, and I was off to the races.

And I got good.

I could paint 10 doors a day.

I went through the yellow book and called every garage door company.

I'd say seven out of 10, I became their primary painter.

So the garage door company does both.

They fix them and they replace them.

So every time they replaced one, if it's an HOA property or a house paint match, I was the guy.

They'd grind out a little section.

They'd give it to me.

Usually the owner would meet up.
