Latest / SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS / 15 PROFITABLE Businesses That Will NEVER DIE
Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: The most recession-proof business on this list sells something that
- 0:08Speaker 1: comes straight out of the faucet in your own home.
- 0:10Speaker 1: And yet, people pay for it every single day. Nobody
- 0:13Speaker 1: takes it seriously until they do the math on how
- 0:15Speaker 1: much it costs to fill a five gallon water jug.
- 0:18Speaker 1: While so many people live in fear that artificial intelligence
- 0:21Speaker 1: or the next economic crisis will take away their jobs,
- 0:23Speaker 1: Others have been making money for years, doing work that
- 0:26Speaker 1: no machine can do and that no crisis has ever
- 0:28Speaker 1: managed to shut down. Today, I'm bringing you 15 businesses
- 0:31Speaker 1: that will never die, and each one comes with the
- 0:34Speaker 1: full breakdown. What you need to get started, who pays you,
- 0:37Speaker 1: and how much people already doing this work are making.
- 0:39Speaker 1: 15 businesses, 15 needs that won't disappear, no matter what
- 0:42Speaker 1: happens with the economy or technology. And pay close attention
- 0:45Speaker 1: to number three, because it's something everyone buys several times
- 0:48Speaker 1: a year, something almost nobody puts on display in a storefront,
- 0:52Speaker 1: and something that sells for more than twice what it costs.
- 0:55Speaker 1: And stick around until the very last one, because it's
- 0:57Speaker 1: a trade everyone has been calling dead for years. And today,
- 1:00Speaker 1: it's more alive than ever. Let's get started. I'm Pablo,
- 1:03Speaker 1: and this is Successful Entrepreneur. Business One, mobile plumbing services.
- 1:06Speaker 1: 11 at night. A pipe bursts underneath the bathroom sink,
- 1:11Speaker 1: and water starts spreading all over the floor. Nobody waits
- 1:13Speaker 1: until Monday, and that urgency is the entire business. You
- 1:17Speaker 1: don't need a storefront. Your workshop fits inside a toolbox
- 1:20Speaker 1: and travels wherever you go. The truth is, plumbing is
- 1:22Speaker 1: a skill you have to learn, ideally by working alongside
- 1:25Speaker 1: someone who already knows the trade inside and out. But
- 1:28Speaker 1: once you've learned it, every phone call becomes a job.
- 1:31Speaker 1: And what pays the most is exactly what you can't see.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Finding a hidden leak inside a wall is billed as
- 1:36Speaker 1: specialized work. And your most valuable customer isn't a homeowner.
- 1:40Speaker 1: It's the property manager of an apartment building who calls
- 1:42Speaker 1: you every time something breaks. And how much can you charge?
- 1:45Speaker 1: In many places, plumbers charge between $ 75 and $ 150 just
- 1:50Speaker 1: to show up and diagnose the problem, with the actual
- 1:52Speaker 1: repair billed separately. And if the emergency happens at night
- 1:55Speaker 1: or on a holiday, the rate can go up to
- 1:57Speaker 1: three times the normal price. If this first business already
- 2:00Speaker 1: got you thinking, subscribe, because the next 14 all follow
- 2:03Speaker 1: the same rule. Nobody can replace them. From one of
- 2:05Speaker 1: the oldest trades in the home, we're moving on to
- 2:07Speaker 1: one that didn't even exist 20 years ago and isn't
- 2:10Speaker 1: going anywhere either. Business two, cell phone and tablet repair.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Technology is supposed to eliminate jobs, but technology actually created
- 2:17Speaker 1: this one. These days, nobody can go a single day
- 2:20Speaker 1: without their phone, and that's why a cracked screen or
- 2:22Speaker 1: a dead battery needs to be fixed right away. The
- 2:24Speaker 1: business is repairing the things that break most often, screens, batteries,
- 2:28Speaker 1: and charging ports. Some repairs cost around $ 15 in parts
- 2:31Speaker 1: and take 20 minutes, while a screen replacement can bring
- 2:34Speaker 1: in anywhere from $ 50 to $ 300, depending on the device.
- 2:38Speaker 1: What many people don't realize is that the sale doesn't
- 2:40Speaker 1: end with the repair. While customers wait, they also pick
- 2:43Speaker 1: up a tempered glass screen protector, a phone case, and
- 2:46Speaker 1: a new charging cable. To get started, all you need
- 2:49Speaker 1: is a small space, precision tools, and practice working on
- 2:52Speaker 1: used devices. But here's the truth. A cheap, low-quality replacement
- 2:56Speaker 1: part will bring an angry customer right back to your
- 2:59Speaker 1: shop within a week. In this business, warranties and protecting
- 3:02Speaker 1: your customers' data are what keep your schedule fully booked.
- 3:05Speaker 1: The next business is something almost nobody displays in a storefront,
- 3:09Speaker 1: and it's the one I mentioned at the beginning. It
- 3:11Speaker 1: sells for more than twice what it costs. Business three,
- 3:14Speaker 1: wholesale underwear. How often do you buy underwear? Probably several
- 3:17Speaker 1: times a year without giving it much thought and without
- 3:19Speaker 1: waiting for any particular fashion trend. That's the business. Some
- 3:22Speaker 1: wholesale lots can be purchased for less than a dollar
- 3:25Speaker 1: per piece. And one of the most common rules in
- 3:27Speaker 1: clothing retail is to sell items for twice what they cost.
- 3:30Speaker 1: The smartest way to sell isn't one piece at a time.
- 3:33Speaker 1: It's offering three packs, which increases how much each customer spends.
- 3:37Speaker 1: And here's the best part. The merchandise rarely gets damaged.
- 3:39Speaker 1: With no zippers or buttons, very little inventory goes to waste.
- 3:42Speaker 1: It doesn't go out of season, and you don't have
- 3:44Speaker 1: to put it on clearance. You can sell through catalogs,
- 3:47Speaker 1: deliver directly to customers, or operate from a small shelf
- 3:50Speaker 1: in a store. But here's the truth. Medium sizes sell
- 3:53Speaker 1: out first, while the smallest and largest sizes tend to
- 3:56Speaker 1: sit longer. So you need to keep that in mind
- 3:58Speaker 1: when buying inventory. And that's where we see the one
- 4:01Speaker 1: thing all these businesses have in common. They sell something
- 4:04Speaker 1: people will need to buy again, no matter what happens.
- 4:06Speaker 1: And the next business brings in cash every single day
- 4:09Speaker 1: at the same time from the same customers. Business 4,
- 4:12Speaker 1: home-cooked meals and daily lunch specials. A worker has 40
- 4:14Speaker 1: minutes for lunch, doesn't want fast food, and misses a
- 4:17Speaker 1: home-cooked meal. Now multiply that by every office, workshop, and
- 4:21Speaker 1: store in your area. The business is offering a simple
- 4:23Speaker 1: daily lunch special, soup, a main course, and a drink,
- 4:26Speaker 1: all at a reasonable price. You buy your ingredients early,
- 4:29Speaker 1: cook exactly the amount you need, and sell from a
- 4:32Speaker 1: small location or directly from your home kitchen, delivering meals
- 4:35Speaker 1: to nearby offices. But the trick very few people use
- 4:38Speaker 1: is the weekly meal plan. Customers pay for all five
- 4:41Speaker 1: lunches on Monday, and you have the money before you
- 4:43Speaker 1: even start cooking. That way, the business finances itself without
- 4:46Speaker 1: forcing you to go into debt. But here's the truth.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Hygiene and permits aren't optional. And the day your food
- 4:51Speaker 1: doesn't taste as good as usual, your customer will go
- 4:54Speaker 1: straight to the competitor next door. And remember this. Later on,
- 4:57Speaker 1: we're going to look at a business where the product
- 4:59Speaker 1: costs almost nothing to obtain and sells every single day.
- 5:02Speaker 1: But first, the next business has something almost no other
- 5:05Speaker 1: business has. Customers who pay without even asking about the price.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Business 5. Tire Repair and Sales This business has the
- 5:12Speaker 1: kind of customer every entrepreneur dreams of. Someone who pays
- 5:15Speaker 1: without arguing because they can't get back on the road
- 5:17Speaker 1: until you take care of their problem. A flat tire
- 5:20Speaker 1: can't wait. The business is repairing, inflating and checking tire
- 5:24Speaker 1: pressure and replacing tires when they're beyond repair. Location is everything,
- 5:28Speaker 1: near major roads, transportation routes, or industrial areas where taxi drivers,
- 5:33Speaker 1: delivery drivers, and truckers are constantly passing through. And here's
- 5:37Speaker 1: the business within the business. Tire repairs bring customers in,
- 5:40Speaker 1: but selling used tires that are still in good condition
- 5:42Speaker 1: is where the profit margin comes from. Your tools last
- 5:45Speaker 1: for years and supplies like patches and adhesives cost very little.
- 5:48Speaker 1: But here's the truth. It's physically demanding, dirty work with
- 5:51Speaker 1: long hours. Still, the person who becomes the trusted tire
- 5:53Speaker 1: shop for drivers in the area has cash coming in
- 5:56Speaker 1: every single day of the year. And the next business
- 5:58Speaker 1: has customers who keep coming back on their own without
- 6:01Speaker 1: you ever having to call them up to 20 times
- 6:03Speaker 1: a year. Business 6, Barbershopper Beauty Salon. A customer who
- 6:06Speaker 1: gets a haircut every two or three weeks comes back
- 6:09Speaker 1: around 20 times a year. No advertising. You don't even
- 6:12Speaker 1: have to call them. That's the math that makes this
- 6:14Speaker 1: business so strong. You charge for each service. Haircuts, beard trims,
- 6:18Speaker 1: eyebrow grooming, hairstyling, and the supplies you use for each
- 6:21Speaker 1: one cost very little compared to what you charge. To
- 6:24Speaker 1: get started, you don't need your own storefront. Many people
- 6:27Speaker 1: begin by renting a chair inside an established barbershop or
- 6:31Speaker 1: offering services at customers' homes. But someone who only cuts
- 6:34Speaker 1: hair is leaving money on the table. A happy customer
- 6:37Speaker 1: walks out with the hair pomade, beard oil, or treatment
- 6:40Speaker 1: you recommended, and those sales add up every single day.
- 6:43Speaker 1: But here's the truth. Your first year is about building
- 6:46Speaker 1: a loyal customer base, and your hands are the business.
- 6:49Speaker 1: On the days you don't work, no money comes in.
- 6:52Speaker 1: That's why keeping a well-organized appointment schedule is just as
- 6:55Speaker 1: valuable as your scissors. The next business is the one
- 6:57Speaker 1: where you can charge the most for less than an
- 6:59Speaker 1: hour of work, and it almost always starts with the
- 7:01Speaker 1: same mistake. The most common mistake is opening a repair
- 7:07Speaker 1: shop on a busy road and waiting for someone to
- 7:09Speaker 1: bring in a refrigerator. Nobody is going to haul a
- 7:12Speaker 1: refrigerator or a washing machine across town. The person making
- 7:16Speaker 1: money is the one who goes to the customer's home.
- 7:18Speaker 1: When an appliance breaks down, the family does some quick math.
- 7:21Speaker 1: If fixing it costs less than half the price of
- 7:24Speaker 1: a new one, they'll get it repaired. And you're the
- 7:26Speaker 1: person who gives them that answer. Listen to this. Many
- 7:30Speaker 1: technicians charge between $ 50 and $ 150 per hour. But since
- 7:34Speaker 1: most small repairs take less than an hour, customers usually
- 7:37Speaker 1: end up paying the minimum service call fee. On average,
- 7:40Speaker 1: a repair costs around $ 175. The replacement part is usually inexpensive.
- 7:45Speaker 1: What you're really charging for is knowing exactly what's wrong.
- 7:49Speaker 1: But here's the truth. This is a trade that requires
- 7:52Speaker 1: proper training, because a wrong diagnosis can be expensive. And
- 7:55Speaker 1: technicians who specialize in the most common appliance brands fill
- 7:58Speaker 1: their schedules faster. Hold on a second, because we're already
- 8:01Speaker 1: halfway through. Plumbing, cell phone repairs, underwear, home-cooked meals, tires,
- 8:05Speaker 1: barber shops, and appliance repairs. Seven businesses, and not a
- 8:09Speaker 1: single one depends on a trend. They all make money
- 8:12Speaker 1: from something that breaks, wears out, or runs out. Which
- 8:15Speaker 1: one can you already picture yourself doing? And don't get distracted,
- 8:19Speaker 1: because the one I mentioned at the beginning is still
- 8:21Speaker 1: coming up. Here's a little hint. It's the only business
- 8:23Speaker 1: on this list with customers who pay every single month,
- 8:27Speaker 1: even when you haven't done anything new. We've covered seven,
- 8:29Speaker 1: and the strongest ones are still ahead. you're finding this
- 8:32Speaker 1: channel helpful subscribe and turn on the notification bell so
- 8:35Speaker 1: you don't miss any of them and we're kicking off
- 8:37Speaker 1: the second half with the business i almost left off
- 8:40Speaker 1: the list because it seemed so boring but it ended
- 8:42Speaker 1: up being one of the biggest surprises business eight egg
- 8:45Speaker 1: distribution in some countries across the americas people already eat
- 8:49Speaker 1: an average of one egg per person every single day
- 8:51Speaker 1: of the year that statistic explains everything the business is
- 8:55Speaker 1: buying eggs in bulk directly from farms and selling them
- 8:58Speaker 1: by the tray to households grocery stores bakeries and restaurants
- 9:02Speaker 1: To get started, you need a cool place to store
- 9:04Speaker 1: the eggs and a small vehicle for deliveries. There's nothing
- 9:07Speaker 1: to manufacture or explain. Eggs practically sell themselves. The secret
- 9:12Speaker 1: is knowing who's buying from you. Households buy whenever they
- 9:14Speaker 1: remember they need eggs, but bakeries and restaurants place regular
- 9:18Speaker 1: orders every week, and that makes your income predictable. Plus,
- 9:21Speaker 1: your money doesn't sit around what you buy today. You
- 9:24Speaker 1: collect payment for within just a few days. But here's
- 9:27Speaker 1: the truth. The profit on each egg is small. So
- 9:30Speaker 1: this business is all about volume. And the product is fragile.
- 9:33Speaker 1: One sudden stop while driving and your entire day's profit
- 9:36Speaker 1: could be gone. And the next business proves that technology
- 9:39Speaker 1: doesn't always kill a trade. Sometimes it creates more work
- 9:41Speaker 1: for it than ever before. Business 9. Tailoring and clothing alterations.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Cheap clothing and online shopping were supposed to put tailors
- 9:47Speaker 1: out of business. The exact opposite happened. These days, people
- 9:49Speaker 1: buy clothes without trying them on, and a lot of
- 9:51Speaker 1: those clothes don't fit. The founder of a clothing alterations
- 9:54Speaker 1: company claims that standard small, medium, and large sizes don't
- 9:57Speaker 1: fit nearly 90% of people properly. That's where this business
- 10:06Speaker 1: comes in. Hemming pants, taking in waistbands, replacing zippers, and
- 10:09Speaker 1: charging for every alteration. The biggest money isn't in large
- 10:11Speaker 1: custom orders. It's in quick alterations. One tailor explains it
- 10:15Speaker 1: this way. Pants that need adjusting come in every single day,
- 10:18Speaker 1: while making a new garment takes two or three days.
- 10:21Speaker 1: You can get started with a sewing machine and a
- 10:23Speaker 1: small workspace, then grow by working with school uniforms or
- 10:26Speaker 1: clothing stores that don't offer alterations. But here's the truth.
- 10:29Speaker 1: you need precision and patience because a mistake of just
- 10:32Speaker 1: one centimeter can ruin an entire garment the next business
- 10:35Speaker 1: serves a customer who doesn't talk doesn't complain and whose
- 10:39Speaker 1: owner pays without haggling over the price business 10 pet
- 10:42Speaker 1: store and dog grooming these days some dogs use better
- 10:46Speaker 1: shampoo than their owners and that's not a joke it's
- 10:48Speaker 1: a business a small pet store sells something that runs
- 10:51Speaker 1: out every single month pet food that customer comes back
- 10:55Speaker 1: on their own every month for the same bag of
- 10:57Speaker 1: food But the big profit margin is in the services, bathing, haircuts,
- 11:01Speaker 1: nail trimming, and ear cleaning. A full dog grooming session
- 11:04Speaker 1: already costs, on average, between $ 85 and $ 104. And what if,
- 11:09Speaker 1: instead of waiting for the dog to come to you,
- 11:11Speaker 1: you go to the customer's home? Mobile dog bathing costs
- 11:14Speaker 1: more than grooming at a salon because the owner is
- 11:17Speaker 1: paying for the convenience of not having to transport their pet.
- 11:20Speaker 1: But here's the truth. Medical services require a licensed veterinarian,
- 11:23Speaker 1: so this business focuses on pet food and grooming. And
- 11:26Speaker 1: you need proper training, because not every dog shows up
- 11:29Speaker 1: in a good mood. And now I have a question
- 11:31Speaker 1: for you. Tell me in the comments the number of
- 11:33Speaker 1: the business you would start if you had to begin
- 11:35Speaker 1: from scratch tomorrow. Just the number, because I read every
- 11:39Speaker 1: single comment. The next business starts working while everyone else
- 11:42Speaker 1: is asleep. And by 6 in the morning, there's already
- 11:45Speaker 1: a line at the door. Business. 11. Bakery and pastry shop.
- 11:49Speaker 1: 5 in the morning. The street is still dark, but
- 11:50Speaker 1: the smell of freshly baked bread is already drifting out
- 11:53Speaker 1: the door, doing the work of any advertisement. Bread is
- 11:56Speaker 1: on the tables of millions of families every single day.
- 11:59Speaker 1: And that's why this business brings in revenue 365 days
- 12:00Speaker 1: a year. The math behind it is simple. In a bakery,
- 12:05Speaker 1: ingredients usually account for between one-quarter and one-third of the
- 12:08Speaker 1: selling price. Flour, water, and yeast cost very little compared
- 12:11Speaker 1: to the finished bread. But listen to this, because it's
- 12:14Speaker 1: the part almost nobody talks about. After paying all the expenses,
- 12:17Speaker 1: the net profit margin for many bakeries ends up between
- 12:20Speaker 1: 5% and 10%. That's why successful bakery owners don't rely
- 12:23Speaker 1: on bread alone. They add cakes, cookies, and coffee, where
- 12:26Speaker 1: the profit margins are higher, and they supply local coffee
- 12:29Speaker 1: shops and stores with wholesale orders. But here's the truth.
- 12:32Speaker 1: This is a business that requires waking up early every
- 12:35Speaker 1: single day, and bread that doesn't sell today is money lost.
- 12:39Speaker 1: And once again, we see the same rule that applies
- 12:41Speaker 1: to every business on this list. Something people need every
- 12:44Speaker 1: morning never goes out of style. And the next business
- 12:47Speaker 1: is a trade that, according to many people, electric cars
- 12:50Speaker 1: were supposed to kill. I'm going to tell you why
- 12:52Speaker 1: the opposite is happening. Business 12. Car and motorcycle repair shop.
- 12:56Speaker 1: Electric cars don't need oil changes, and that's why many
- 12:59Speaker 1: people believe mechanics are on their way out. But the
- 13:01Speaker 1: reality is different. An electric vehicle weighs more than a
- 13:03Speaker 1: gasoline-powered one, and that extra weight causes more wear on tires, brakes,
- 13:07Speaker 1: and suspension components. Those are exactly the kinds of jobs
- 13:10Speaker 1: that bring the most money into a repair shop, and
- 13:12Speaker 1: they aren't disappearing. They're simply moving to a different type
- 13:15Speaker 1: of vehicle. The business is maintenance and repairs, brakes, suspension,
- 13:19Speaker 1: wheel alignment, oil changes for gasoline-powered vehicles, and selling replacement
- 13:23Speaker 1: parts right there in the shop. What makes a repair
- 13:25Speaker 1: shop successful isn't the tools. It's trust. An honest mechanic
- 13:28Speaker 1: who explains what's wrong and charges a fair price keeps
- 13:31Speaker 1: customers for years, sometimes serving entire families. Many people start
- 13:34Speaker 1: by repairing motorcycles, which require less space and a smaller investment,
- 13:38Speaker 1: and grow from there. But here's the truth. Working on
- 13:40Speaker 1: high-voltage electrical systems requires specialized training, and mechanics who don't
- 13:44Speaker 1: keep their skills up to date get stuck serving yesterday's customers.
- 13:47Speaker 1: And here it is, the business I've been telling you
- 13:49Speaker 1: about since the very beginning, the one that sells something
- 13:52Speaker 1: that comes straight out of the faucet. Business 13, Purified Water.
- 13:56Speaker 1: Two cents. That's how little it can cost to purify
- 13:59Speaker 1: one gallon of water. And that same gallon sells for
- 14:02Speaker 1: anywhere between 25 cents and one dollar. When I did
- 14:06Speaker 1: that math, I checked it three times. Here's how the
- 14:08Speaker 1: business works. You take water from the municipal water supply,
- 14:12Speaker 1: run it through a system of filters, reverse osmosis, and
- 14:14Speaker 1: ultraviolet light, and fill large water jugs. You sell it
- 14:17Speaker 1: at the counter, but the real money is in deliveries.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Some families buy several large water jugs every week, and offices, restaurants,
- 14:24Speaker 1: and stores need water every single day. And here's what
- 14:27Speaker 1: makes this business different from everything we've seen so far. Subscriptions.
- 14:32Speaker 1: Customers sign up, you deliver their water jugs every week,
- 14:35Speaker 1: and they pay for the entire month, even when you
- 14:37Speaker 1: haven't done anything new. On top of that, you can
- 14:39Speaker 1: sell water dispensers, pumps, and equipment maintenance services. But here's
- 14:43Speaker 1: the truth. Setting up a complete water purification plant can
- 14:46Speaker 1: cost between $ 20, 000 and $ 100, 000, and water quality is non-negotiable.
- 14:51Speaker 1: In one major city, authorities found that at least one
- 14:54Speaker 1: quarter of the businesses refilling water jugs were selling contaminated water.
- 14:58Speaker 1: That's why, in this business, filters must be replaced on time,
- 15:01Speaker 1: and laboratory testing must be performed. The person who does
- 15:04Speaker 1: it right doesn't compete on price. They compete on trust,
- 15:07Speaker 1: and customers pay for that trust every single week if
- 15:09Speaker 1: this business made you reach for your calculator subscribe right
- 15:12Speaker 1: now we've got two left and the last one is
- 15:14Speaker 1: going to completely change the way you think about skilled
- 15:17Speaker 1: trades and the next business collects payment for the entire
- 15:19Speaker 1: month in advance and its customers stay with you for
- 15:22Speaker 1: years business 14 child daycare center both parents work and
- 15:26Speaker 1: their two-year-old needs a safe place to stay from eight
- 15:29Speaker 1: in the morning until five in the afternoon That's a
- 15:32Speaker 1: need no technology can ever eliminate. The business is taking
- 15:35Speaker 1: care of young children during working hours and charging a
- 15:38Speaker 1: fixed monthly fee. You offer part-time or full-time plans with
- 15:41Speaker 1: meals included and early childhood development activities, and each plan
- 15:45Speaker 1: has its own price. The most valuable thing about this
- 15:48Speaker 1: business is how long customers stay with you. Once parents
- 15:51Speaker 1: trust you, their child doesn't leave after a month. They
- 15:53Speaker 1: stay until they're old enough to start school, and many
- 15:56Speaker 1: times their younger sibling ends up coming too. Your first
- 15:59Speaker 1: customers come from families who work nearby and local companies
- 16:02Speaker 1: whose employees don't have anywhere to leave their children during
- 16:04Speaker 1: the workday. But here's the truth. This is the most
- 16:07Speaker 1: demanding business on the entire list when it comes to permits, regulations,
- 16:11Speaker 1: and safety. There's no room for improvisation here, because what
- 16:14Speaker 1: families are trusting you with is the most important thing
- 16:17Speaker 1: in their lives. And now we've reached the last one,
- 16:20Speaker 1: the business I told you about at the beginning, the
- 16:22Speaker 1: trade everyone thinks is dead. Business 15. Everyone says the
- 16:27Speaker 1: neighborhood shoe repair shop is an old man's trade, and
- 16:30Speaker 1: they're right about one thing. Many cobblers are retiring, and
- 16:33Speaker 1: they have nobody to take over their businesses. But here's
- 16:36Speaker 1: what almost nobody talks about. The repair shops that are
- 16:39Speaker 1: still open can't keep up with demand. Some cobblers have
- 16:42Speaker 1: waiting lists that stretch an entire month, and one even
- 16:45Speaker 1: had to close his shop for a full month just
- 16:47Speaker 1: to catch up on orders. More and more people would
- 16:50Speaker 1: rather repair their good quality shoes than buy new ones
- 16:52Speaker 1: that won't last. The business is replacing soles and heels,
- 16:55Speaker 1: repairing stitching, replacing zippers, and making shoes that customers were
- 16:59Speaker 1: about to throw away look brand new again for a
- 17:01Speaker 1: fraction of what a new pair would cost. And the
- 17:03Speaker 1: extra money is in leather goods, jackets, bags, purses, and backpacks.
- 17:08Speaker 1: To get started, all you need are hand tools and
- 17:10Speaker 1: a shoe sewing machine. And the best place to learn
- 17:12Speaker 1: is from a cobbler who's getting ready to retire. But
- 17:14Speaker 1: here's the truth. This trade requires skilled hands and patience.
- 17:18Speaker 1: And some customers never come back to pick up their shoes.
- 17:21Speaker 1: So you collect a deposit up front. And that's what
- 17:24Speaker 1: all 15 businesses we've covered today have in common. No
- 17:27Speaker 1: machine and no economic crisis can take away the things
- 17:29Speaker 1: people need every single day. The cobbler everyone thought was
- 17:32Speaker 1: going out of business now has a completely packed schedule.
