@JoinCrowdHealth @SydneyLWatson Interesting. Thank you! I also didn’t see a doctor and death with a nurse. Had a similar ct scan mentioned. Interesting how it all works in the black box.

@Nbundzinski1 @SydneyLWatson They are the doctors that the hospital contracts with to staff their ER
English
Lmfao I just got my mail and I have ANOTHER bill from the hospital - exclusively for the doctor's time.
$985.
I am not exaggerating when I say he spoke to me for all of 30 seconds RIGHT as I was leaving.
Lmaoooo. The medical system is so fucking cooked. 😂
Dr. Sydney Watson@SydneyLWatson
Seen a lot of conversation about how predatory the American medical system is. So I will weigh in. I ended up going to the ER about 2 weeks ago for crippling pain. Turned out to be a ruptured ovarian cyst. I was there for MAYBE 4 hours. My bill? $13,500 dollars. Because I'm uninsured (by choice, that shit is a SCAM), the hospital dropped my bill down to $8,100 and some change as an "uninsured" discount. For starters, $13,500 for a 4 hour hospital visit is insane as it is. But the fact the hospital can wipe $5,000 off the bill "just because" should show you how utterly fucked this system is. And to be clear - $8,000 is still an absolutely insane sum of money when all these people did was scan my stomach and give me some pain killers. On my itemized bill, my CT scan was 7k. The iodine they used was $900. Just being in the ER room alone was $2,500. We phoned the hospital to haggle. They dropped the price by $20. Normal people can't survive this shit. I do okay and $8,000 is still an INSANE chunk of money out of my savings. Anyone who argues this isn't a disgusting, predatory system is crazy. And it is even crazier that Americans accept this. And for those of you who argue this is the free market, I need you to be quiet. There can never be a true free market here when government and insurance have their creepy little fingers in this pie. People shouldn't go bankrupt trying to pay medical bills. This has to change.

@JoinCrowdHealth @SydneyLWatson What is US Acute Care Solutions? Went to the ER and got 3 separate bills from 3 different entities for the visit. US acute care being one
English
@SydneyLWatson $985 sounds like US Acute Care Solutions. Are we correct?

I'm only going to say this once:
LEAPS are by far the best way to grow a small account when done correctly.
One contract. Exposure to 100 shares. A fraction of the cost. 12+ months of runway. Amplified returns. Defined max loss.
No margin. No weeklies. No staring at charts all day.
My results from LEAPS:
- $IREN: 800% gain
- $HOOD: 700% gain
- $NVDA: 300% gain
But this only works if you're disciplined about entry. Most people buy LEAPs at the wrong time, on the wrong stock, with the wrong strike and expiration. That's how a leveraged position bleeds to zero.
There are specific conditions I look for before I enter, and specific rules around strike selection and expiration that keep the odds in my favor. Get those wrong and LEAPs will hurt you. Get them right and a small account can do things most people don't think are possible.
Comment "LEAPS" and I'll send you my free cheat sheet - everything I use to find, structure, and manage these trades on one page.

@stevehunsaker1 @ToddLlewellyn Just skip the intro calls, get Todd, a DM script and start firing the referral fees over

@ToddLlewellyn @AJ3____ @stevehunsaker1 Todd what are you running ads for? A specific service within your plumbing company like the water softener comment? Or general plumbing?

@AJ3____ My dude. You need to join home service accelerator. I joined in January and I’ve brought in $80k revenue off $7k ad spend. The group teaches you how to run your own ads

@shawngorham Don’t make this mistake… my iPhone is covered in Google apps and had your same thought so switched. Made it 3 days.
English
I have had an iPhone since I traded it for my Blackberry.
I use Gmail, Google Workspace, Google Maps, Google Docs, Google Domains, Gemini
Surely all of this is better on a Google Phone, right?
But I do love my iPhone

My wife just sent me this video of the line at 1:30 in the afternoon on a Monday… X feed feels like the world is ending but local stores have lines 30 deep in the middle of the day… not sure what to make of it

@WilsonCompanies Have you found running paid campaigns strictly for pumping to provide a strong enough return? Or do you do larger repairs/installs that drive up the average job value?
English
Want to build a $60K/month septic business? Here are your four levers.
- SEO that ranks locally. Build pages for “septic pumping in [your city].”
- Paid campaigns that convert. Target homeowners when they search.
- Direct mail that feels personal. Local names and faces win trust.
- Follow-up systems that respond instantly. The first to call back wins 80% of the time.

@trentjhughes I did medishare for several years. Wife had 2 of our children when we were on it, highly recommend.

One of the hardest things as an entrepreneur:
Health insurance
What do you all do for it?

@shawngorham @realestatedude0 Trenchless area dependent of course is easily $150 ft or more

@realestatedude0 I think even the trenchless is expensive, right?

Sewer Line Repairs:
In So Cal we have an aging housing stock. Every single main line I have ever scoped has had roots, a break or an offset. Unless it has been replaced every house in So Cal has this.
The image you are looking at is an offset
Sewer line repairs can be $150+ a foot and you have no choice but to fix them
If I was looking for a business, I would be looking into Plumbing, but sewer lines only. Market to real estate agents with a low cost camera inspection, new buyer gets the seller to contribute to the repairs.
In CA licensing is the moat - hard to get the license
But I think its an amazing opportunity
English
@pestctrlguy If people positioned these as foundations to build off of it would be a lot more valid. If pricing is right you can shortcut growth but as you mentioned a huge % are low quality. Extremely low quality at that.
English
Of the three businesses we have acquired, the two run by 60+ year olds have been far lower quality than the one run by a 35 year old despite having more revenue.
I think the silver tsunami is actually going to wreck more young lives than it helps.

The most underrated business strategy in America right now: Find a 65-year-old with a profitable business, no kids who want it, and an SBA pre-approval letter. That's it.

I want to hear it from the actual owners in the SMB space… not these anonymous ragebait X accounts:
Are your company sales up or down year to date in 2025 compared to 2024?

Who on God’s green earth thinks auto-detailing is a wealth building business?
No one will look back in 10 years wishing they started a high labor, low average ticket business like auto detailing… I promise
