It happens alot in Atlanta because Atlanta is becoming this place where if you dont have a business and expensive things your not considered successful. There are a lot of get rich quick schemes around here and scammers. Everyone wants the glitz and the glamour now and they dont want to work hard for it. Thanks for your information and showing people the right way to do it the quick way is normally not the right way.

Great information Lucky. Thanks for sharing. In addition, I bought your course and the information is extremely informative. On the topic of Turo, I wish you went a little deeper about the service (granted I understand that you are educating us on the entire car rental business. Therefore, there is only so much you can share about a specific aspect of the car rental business). I entered in an agreement with my friend to rent out cars that he gets from the auction. Would love to hear more about your experience and important point you can share about Turo.

Hey What's up Lucky I just happened across your Channel and I am proud to say that I am a new sub. I'm from NYC but been living in metro Atlanta for almost fourteen years now, and honestly I planned on renting My 2019 Ford Escape SE on turo as well as doing a couple of other things as a form of entrepreneurship, This morning (before coming across your Channel) I decided to table that venture as I could use some extra cash asap and While I still plan doing turbo I understand that it's a process so I will resume looking into this venture at a later time, any suggestions or comments from you bruther would be appreciated. ✌🏾
