All right, at this point I've seen it all,
[40]
I've been growing and selling microgreens
[42]
for over three years now,
[44]
I've been mentored, I've mentored others,
[47]
I've taken courses, and I've
even contributed to courses.
[50]
I'm in every single microgreens
group you can think of,
[53]
and I'm watching what's
going on in the industry.
[56]
Because of this depth, I've heard it all,
[58]
I know where people struggle,
and I know what it takes
[60]
to make a successful microgreens business.
[62]
And in this video I'm gonna
reveal some key points
[65]
about the microgreens industry.
[67]
I'll start with the fun facts
[68]
and I'll end with some hard truths.
[70]
You need to hear both sides of this story
[72]
so you not only know how
amazing this opportunity is,
[75]
but also what it really takes
[77]
to create a successful
microgreens business.
[80]
All right, let's dive
right into the fun facts.
[82]
One, you can start a microgreens
business quite easily
[85]
and make real money doing so.
[87]
It doesn't take that much to get started,
[89]
all you really need is
some seeds and supplies.
[92]
And the microgreens themselves,
are relatively easy to grow.
[95]
They also don't take up that much space
[97]
because you grow them in
doors with vertical systems
[100]
as you can see right behind me.
[101]
Microgreens have high profit margins,
[103]
which means quick returns
on your investment
[105]
and high potential for
making real money long term.
[108]
With all the mistakes I made
[110]
when I first started my business,
[111]
I was still net positive
after nine months,
[114]
and was doing six figures after
only two years in business.
[117]
Fun fact number two,
[119]
there's more information out now
[121]
about growing microgreens
and a microgreens business
[123]
than there ever was before.
[125]
When I first stared there wasn't
all that much information,
[128]
but now you can find answers
to any question you have,
[130]
simply by going on YouTube
and finding videos,
[133]
or by participating in the
numerous microgreens groups
[137]
on Facebook.
[137]
If you choose to buy a course
like I did in the beginning,
[140]
they're even better and
more comprehensive now
[142]
because they've been added to
and improved over the years.
[145]
Knowledge is power and
everything that you need
[148]
to start a microgreens business
[149]
is right at your fingertips.

[157]
The global health and wellness industry
[159]
is worth over four
trillion dollars right now,
[163]
and clean eating is a
major driving factor.
[165]
Microgreens just happened to be

one of the healthiest foods on the planet,
[168]

[203]
Okay, now that I've talked
about some of the fun facts
[206]
about growing microgreens for profit,
[207]
you need to hear about
some of the hard truths
[210]
about doing this as a business.
[211]
Number one, running any
business is extremely difficult
[215]
and takes a massive amount of hard work,
[217]
dedication, and time.
[219]
I've noticed that most
things come easy to me,
[221]
but man, starting a business was by far
[224]
the most difficult
thing I have ever tried.
[226]
Starting and growing a
business is not for everyone
[229]
and I highly recommend that
you deploy self awareness
[233]
in your decision around
becoming an entrepreneur.
[236]
And even if you are destined
for entrepreneurship,
[238]
your situation might be hindering
[240]
because of other responsibilities
[242]
you might have in your life
at this current moment.
[244]
My parents were generous enough
to put me through college,
[247]
debt free, let me live in
their house, rent free,
[250]
and even let me start growing microgreens
[252]
in their basement when I first started.
[254]
And these are some of the things
[255]
that allowed me to start my
business in the beginning.
[257]
If any of those three
factors were any different,
[260]
it would've made it a lot more difficult
[262]
for me to start my business.
[263]
And even though they made this opportunity
[265]
a reality for me,
[266]
it still took tremendous
time and hard work
[270]
to make my business successful.
[271]
Hard truth number two,
[273]
depending on how your business is set up,
[275]
you might not be able to take a vacation
[277]
or even a day off for years
[279]
once your business really starts going.
[281]
Because of the logistics
behind growing microgreens,
[284]
you can't exactly just pick
up and leave your farm.
[287]
The plants need to be watered every day
[288]
and there's various farm
tasks that need to get done
[291]
in order to keep
everything moving forward.
[293]
Once you have multiple
harvesting days per week,
[296]
chances are you will
have multiple farm tasks
[300]
to complete every single day.
[301]
This means no days off and no vacations
[304]
unless you have somebody who
can do this work for you,
[307]
like a friend or a family member
[309]
or maybe a business partner.
[311]
Hard truth number three,
[312]
you will get rejected,
sometimes constantly,
[315]
and you will make mistakes.
[317]
There's really just no way around this,
[319]
not everybody's going
to want your product,
[321]
in fact, most people won't,
[323]
so you're gonna be faced
with consistent rejection.
[326]
Growing microgreens and running a business
[328]
are skills that you'll
have to develop over time,
[331]
you're gonna make mistakes which
feels bad in the short run,
[335]
but in the long run,
[336]
these are gonna lead to
tremendous learning experiences
[339]
that you're gonna be able to take with you
[341]
through your whole life.
[342]
Even though I've faced my
biggest challenges and hardships
[345]
over the past few years,
[347]
I've also grown as a person in ways
[349]
that I never would've imagined.
[350]
At this point you've heard
some of the fun facts
[353]
and hard truths about running
a microgreens business,
[355]
