You need to hear both sides of this story
so you not only know how amazing this opportunity is,
but also what it really takes
to create a successful microgreens business.
All right, let's dive right into the fun facts.
One, you can start a microgreens business quite easily
and make real money doing so.
It doesn't take that much to get started,
all you really need is some seeds and supplies.
And the microgreens themselves, are relatively easy to grow.
They also don't take up that much space
because you grow them in doors with vertical systems
as you can see right behind me.
Microgreens have high profit margins,
which means quick returns on your investment
and high potential for making real money long term.
With all the mistakes I made
when I first started my business,
I was still net positive after nine months,
and was doing six figures after only two years in business.
Fun fact number two,
there's more information out now
about growing microgreens and a microgreens business
than there ever was before.
When I first stared there wasn't all that much information,
but now you can find answers to any question you have,
simply by going on YouTube and finding videos,
or by participating in the numerous microgreens groups
on Facebook.
If you choose to buy a course like I did in the beginning,
they're even better and more comprehensive now
because they've been added to and improved over the years.
Knowledge is power and everything that you need
to start a microgreens business
is right at your fingertips.
Fun fact number three,
a microgreens business currently aligns with market trends
of health and wellness.
The global health and wellness industry
is worth over four trillion dollars right now,
and clean eating is a major driving factor.
Microgreens just happened to be
one of the healthiest foods on the planet,
so I can tell you right now, that as time goes on,
more people are going to be eating microgreens.
So you might as well be one of the people growing them.

Okay, now that I've talked about some of the fun facts
about growing microgreens for profit,
you need to hear about some of the hard truths
about doing this as a business.
Number one, running any business is extremely difficult
and takes a massive amount of hard work,
dedication, and time.
I've noticed that most things come easy to me,
but man, starting a business was by far
the most difficult thing I have ever tried.
Starting and growing a business is not for everyone
and I highly recommend that you deploy self awareness
in your decision around becoming an entrepreneur.
And even if you are destined for entrepreneurship,
your situation might be hindering
because of other responsibilities
you might have in your life at this current moment.
My parents were generous enough to put me through college,
debt free, let me live in their house, rent free,
and even let me start growing microgreens
in their basement when I first started.
And these are some of the things
that allowed me to start my business in the beginning.
If any of those three factors were any different,
it would've made it a lot more difficult
for me to start my business.
And even though they made this opportunity
a reality for me,
it still took tremendous time and hard work
to make my business successful.
Hard truth number two,
depending on how your business is set up,
you might not be able to take a vacation
or even a day off for years
once your business really starts going.
Because of the logistics behind growing microgreens,
you can't exactly just pick up and leave your farm.
The plants need to be watered every day
and there's various farm tasks that need to get done
in order to keep everything moving forward.
Once you have multiple harvesting days per week,
chances are you will have multiple farm tasks
to complete every single day.
This means no days off and no vacations
unless you have somebody who can do this work for you,
like a friend or a family member
or maybe a business partner.
Hard truth number three,
you will get rejected, sometimes constantly,
and you will make mistakes.
There's really just no way around this,
not everybody's going to want your product,
in fact, most people won't,
so you're gonna be faced with consistent rejection.
Growing microgreens and running a business
are skills that you'll have to develop over time,
you're gonna make mistakes which feels bad in the short run,
but in the long run,
these are gonna lead to tremendous learning experiences
that you're gonna be able to take with you
through your whole life.
Even though I've faced my biggest challenges and hardships
over the past few years,
I've also grown as a person in ways
that I never would've imagined.
At this point you've heard some of the fun facts
and hard truths about running a microgreens business,
but what if you wanna learn more?
