Holy crap! Talk about hustlin’!
Meet David Holston. He’s an 18-year-old BALLER who made $35,000 in just four days. How? By plowing in Seattle.
The 18-year-old entrepreneur who started a landscaping business in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho last spring made more in four days than many make in a year after a lucrative trip to Seattle with his truck and a plow just when the Emerald City got hit with historic levels of snow — 10 inches in some parts of the city.
In total, Holston made $35,000 in four days and said he plans to give $7,000 of that “to God” through his local church and other Christian organizations.
Nice.
Holston was visiting his mom on her birthday while she was recovering from surgery. But, before he left, his friend tipped him off that there would be a foot of snow in Seattle, which the area wasn’t prepared for. So he drove his truck and plow there and worked 12-to 15-hour days, starting around 2 a.m.
According to Fox, he typically charges $125 an hour, but he jacked up the prices for the Seattle storm and got as high as $500 to $750 an hour.
I know it sounds steep, but here’s the thing: He made the sacrifice to go out there with his equipment, and he didn’t FORCE people to call him. (His phone was ringing like crazy, BTW.) If the demand is there, they’ll pay. If your price is too high, they won’t. Just my two cents.
“I plan on tithing 20 percent to advance the kingdom of God, buy mowers for this year’s mowing season, and save the rest for buying my first house debt free!” he said. “I credit all of my success to my savior Jesus Christ who died on a cross to forgive my sins and three days later rose from the dead.”
Sounds like his head is on straight. You really don’t hear about that kind of work ethic often. Good for him!
