Hello and thanks for reading this post as I sit up at almost 4:00 in the morning after working late from putting some business stuff together for my most recent offline venture that will be starting in a couple of weeks. First, before I go into details about my new venture, I want to say that anything that one pursues whether it be online or offline will take hard work and dedication which I know we already know but it truly does take effort and I think it's something that should continue to be emphasized as I think many people start on a project and either get consumed with other things or give up on the project at hand entirely and with anything that one starts, it's important to follow through with it 100% of the way! 
Now, here's the plan for what I'll be doing in two weeks:
I live in Palm Beach Florida and I have a close friend that lives in Miami which is about an hour and a half south of me that has owned a mobile car detailing business for about three years. After building his company website and doing promotional work for his company and services, after 2-3 months he built a steady clientel of 4-6 clients per day with each client taking about an hour to complete. Considering that for him to detail a car takes only an hour and with prices starting at $75 per vehicle, he's making a minimum of $300-$450 per day with only working for about 6-7 hours. I speak with him on about an every other day basis as he's a very good friend of mine and he says that business is only continuing to grow and he's had several $1,500 days so there's plenty of potential.
After doing some research in the industry, I decided to invest $10,000 into starting an auto mobile detailing business with an anticipation of earning that back just within the first 4 weeks. I've already registered my business name and have my license on its way and am in the process of obtaining a Commercial Solicitation License. I also now have Liability Insurance which gives me $250,000 in coverage so if there's a Lamborghini owner that calls to have their car detailed and it gets scratched, I won't have to pay the $3,000+ to fix it. I'll be picking up the van next week ($6,000) and the Generator and all of the other equipment that I need ($2,500) and will be spending the remainder on promotional material. Once my license comes in I can legally post flyers on cars at the local mall and will be hiring two people to put flyers out 8 hours per day and will easily be able to put out 2,000 flyers per day (These will be put out because I'll be doing it with them for a week to make sure they get posted). Within a week I will have an easy 14,000 flyers out and at a 1 % return would bring me 140 clients and with my service(s) starting at $35 all the way up to what's called an "Executive Detail" which costs $185, that means I'll be making a minimum of $4,900 and I'm well prepared to purchase a second vehicle with the equipment along with a hired worker if the workload becomes overwhelming.
Additionally, not only will this generate business initially but in the long run as well I'll get a lot of repeat clients so there's plenty of potential with first time customers. Another great thing I have going is my local 7-11 gas station which is only two miles from me. I've known the owner of this 7-11 for about 4 years and it's the most highly trafficked gas station around. There's an average of 125 cars per hour that come in and out of that 7-11 between the hours of 7:00 AM and 6:30 PM. For 10% of my daily earnings, he's going to allow me to set up a spot there at the gas station to detail cars (I have a trustworthy person to work for me there) and since it would be a stationary spot and I'd have no traveling expenses such as gas, cars at the gas station will be only $15. I figure that at 125 cars per hour that I'll get an average of 2 cars per hour on average and with an 8 hour work day that equates to $240 per day or $1,440 per week with a 6 day work week.
So between the 7-11 spot, the auto mobile detailing and with passing out fliers, I'm expecting a minimum of $10,000 within my first month and I know it's very achievable. I'll be sure to keep this thread updated with my progress and income and I'm looking forward to seeing the progress. I know this was a long post but thanks for reading this and maybe this will help to motivate others to start thinking creatively!
Update
I'm updating this thread just minutes after posting at as I've received some comments from users that seem confused or are questioning the method that I'm using. The method in this post that I'm using is to find a demand that needs to be met and then find a way to make it profitable. There are tens of millions of car owners out there and there are going to be car owners who want to keep their vehicle clean so I decided to invest in starting a company that will meet this need in a way that will allow me to bring in more money then I invested within a rather short amount of time. So, my method simply put is to find a service or product that you know consumers or people need and find a way to meet that need. If you can provide that service or need for $2 while it's costing you $1, then you'll be in business. I think you see my point
