Whether you are trying to become the next billionaire founder, or the next local baller with a blacked out truck, you can start small, validate your idea, and build your business profitably.
One of the best ways to get started as an entrepreneur is using Home Depot Tool Rentals, which is an absolute gold mine for starting a business.
Want to start a junk removal business but don’t have the money to buy a truck? Go to Home Depot and rent out this sweet flatbed van.
Thinking about starting a car detailing business but don’t want to fork over $1,500 for the machine?

If you are looking to add some hustle to your business, we really recommend door knocking. Not only will it build your confidence and put you on the front lines talking with potential customers, but you will make sales as long as your pitch is good.
One of the best resources out there for door knocking is a guy named Josh Lester, who posts content on YouTube and Twitter.
Beware, he’s going to try and get you to buy his course. I wouldn’t do it if I were you.
But if you need some motivation to get out there and knock, he’s got plenty of great examples on his free content.
