This Couple Makes $10k/month Growing Veggies in Their Basement. Here’s How…

There’s a growing multi-billion dollar industry that’s sprouting up from, of all places, homeowner’s basements. Here’s a peek inside the growing “Microgreen Industry” that one of your neighbors is probably cashing in on.

Here’s why…

The global microgreens market size was valued at $1.3 billion in 2019, and is now projected to reach $2.2 billion by 2028. Growing demand for microgreens, along with recent interruptions in global supply chains have created a local cash opportunity.

Especially amongst innovative homeowners looking to cash in on their un-utilized square footage.

 

What the Hell Are Microgreens?

Microgreens are young seedlings of edible vegetables and herbs. Unlike larger herbs and vegetables that take weeks or months to grow, microgreens can be harvested and eaten a week to 10 days after leaves have developed. Like baby carrots but for herbs…

These tiny plants only grow to a few inches and can come in 50 to 60 different varieties. Microgreens were originally limited to fancy dinner plates and boutique grocery stores due to their higher cost. But now they’re a multibillion dollar industry.

And did I mention, you can grow them in your basement? The set up cost is low​ and the growing cycle is super quick, meaning you can be harvesting and selling your first crop in just a couple of weeks.

Interested in this as a side hustle? Here’s an e-Book to get you started…

Microgreens can be grown in a small space and can sell for $50 per pound or more​, making them an ideal crop for small farms and “urban growers”. In an area as small as a shipping container, a garage, or basement you could generate thousands per month growing and selling them.

Here’s the full story on how one couple makes $120k/year selling microgreens from the basement of their urban home.

“People Don’t Follow Companies. They Follow People” – Brad Lea

Host of Dropping Bombs podcast and CEO of LightSpeed VT dropped a knowledge bomb on a recent episode of Dropping Bombs podcast. Host, Brad Lea commented on the importance of developing a personal brand for C-Suite Executives.

When talking about the importance of creating a personal brand, Brad stated:

“People don’t follow brands they follow people. So your personal brand is ultimately what’s going to tee up doing business.” 

In short, Brad believes everyone should develop a personal Brand for their business, no matter what business you’re in.

Here are Brad Lea’s tips on getting starting creating a digital brand presence.

Brad Lea’s Step By Step Advice to Create a Personal Brand:

Let the world know who you are

Get on the big 6 social media platforms and put yourself out there; share your thoughts, opinions, values, beliefs. Don’t just repeat what everyone else is saying.

Don’t be afraid to be polarizing, not for the sake of confrontation, but for the sake of confronting the elephant in the room as it relates to your industry.

But that can often be scary, that’s where tip #2 comes into play…

Don’t be afraid of what other people think

The biggest reason Brad says executives are not active on social is they worry too much about what other people think. Especially on social media where anyone can leave a comment or offer a difference of opinion.

Remember, not everyone will agree with you but that doesn’t matter. You’re goal is to connect with those who do.

As Brad says” “if you never feel the hate, you never feel the love.”

Now for the last and final tip.

Continue to push out content over time

While the actual amount of time will depend on your individual business and circumstances, for a small to medium-sized business, a strong content marketing strategy generally takes between six and nine months to yield real results.

These are just a few of the tips Brad Lea shared in a recent podcast episode. Watch the full clip below.

The Inspirational Success of Peter Dinklage

You’ve heard of Peter Dinklage.

You may have even known that he won a Golden Globe and two Emmys for his portrayal of Tyrion Lannister, the drunk, womanizing black sheep of the Lannister royal family on HBO’s epic blockbuster hit Game of Thrones.

What you might not know, is that a few years ago, he had almost given up on his lifelong dream of becoming a successful actor. He was working at an entry level position at a data company until made a decision that changed the trajectory his life.

His story hits close to home. You can watch him tell it in this video.

WATCH:

But Before He Was Famous

As they say on Game of Thrones, “a Lannister pays their debts”, and long before making an estimated $25 million, Dinklage paid his.

He was a natural performer. Falling in love with it at an early age in plays and skits in school. Peter dreamed and devoted most of his life to theater. He went to school for it. Dreaming to be amongst fellow actors.

It was 1991. He moved to NY to work in theater. He didn’t find any.

The only thing he wanted up until that moment, was to follow his dreams. The only thing he actually had, was no money, no apartment and a NY sized debt.

He worked many low-end jobs. Dusting pianos, pulling weeds, he even went on unemployment once, but not for long, he couldn’t handle the guilt (his words not mine).

 

Peter Dinklage Was a Data Processor?

After 2 years of job and couch surfing. He finally got a job, in application processing as a data enterer at a company called Professional Application Services.

Where he stayed for 6 years. Longer than he had even studied for his acting dreams. He hated that job. But he clung to it.

From the age of 23-29 he put his real dream on hold. So that he could pay his rent. It afforded him a living. But it paused the real life he wanted.

When Dinklage turned 29, he told himself that the next acting job he got, whatever it paid. From that gig on he would be a full time actor, no matter the cost, for better or worse. He was determined to pursue the life he really wanted.

The Decision That Changed His Life…

At 29 walking away from data processing, he was terrified. It was the only job he felt stuck in. He was afraid of whatever change he had just committed to.

But after 6 years of doing something he didn’t enjoy… Peter gave himself the permission to take a risk.

He landed a low paying theater gig that led to a low paying film which led to several other roles. Which led to other roles. It wasn’t easy, but he kept going anyway.

Overtime, he started to get noticed for one role after another. Until finally breaking through the ultimate dream of being recognized as a leading role on the world’s most popular show (Game of Thrones) with an average of 17.4 million viewers.

Advice on Success From Peter Dinklage

With regards to chasing your dreams and doing things that terrify you. Take it from Peter’s advice:

“Raise your life to meet you. Don’t look for defining moments to change you. They won’t come. The moments that define you have already happened and they will already happen again. Yet they will pass. Don’t bother telling the world you are ready. Just do it”

– Peter Dinklage
