Forget Storage Units. He Rents Out Empty Dirt Instead?!

At the time, even that small win meant something. Christopher grew up without much money, selling chocolate bars door-to-door at 14 to buy his own clothes. He became a carpenter, built a construction company, and used his own labor to slowly work his way into real estate. Then one unpaid construction job nearly wiped him out. His company went from 14 employees back to just him, and he had to rebuild from the ground up. In 2017, Christopher took another huge risk. He found a 10-acre property and saw an opportunity for a different kind of self storage business, one where people could store vehicles, trailers, and equipment instead of renting a typical storage unit. He started wherever he could, even approaching people at gas stations and red lights looking for customers. Slowly, those small wins added up. The idea banks wouldn’t back became Longyards, eventually helping Christopher raise outside capital at a $12 million valuation. In this episode, Christopher shares how he built a yard storage business from almost nothing and why starting small might be more powerful than you think. 💥 Not Sure Which Business to Start? 💥 Explore free tools that help you choose smarter, compare faster, and avoid starting the wrong business ↓ 🎯 Free Assessment — get matched with the right business 👉 https://links.upflip.com/assessment-yt 🔍 Niche Finder - search business ideas by budget, difficulty, profit, demand, and more 👉 https://to.upflip.com/nf-ls OR… Ready to actually launch and get your first clients? ↓ 🚀 UpFlip Accelerator — the step-by-step system to launch faster and get clients sooner 👉 https://links.upflip.com/accelerator-yt 🎓 UpFlip Academy - "copy-paste" the top million-dollar service businesses you can start in weeks 👉 https://links.upflip.com/academy-yt More UpFlip Official Resources: 🌐 Visit UpFlip - https://www.upflip.com/ 📩 Join the UpFlip Newsletter - https://links.upflip.com/newsletter-yt 🎙️ Listen to the UpFlip Podcast - https://links.upflip.com/podcast-yt 👉 Check out Christopher’s website - https://www.longyards.com/ Timestamps: 00:00 - Start 00:45 - Where the BIG stuff goes 01:23 - Built for anyone, really 01:52 - 7 years down, plenty more to go 02:22 - Don’t let the numbers scare you 03:19 - Books over bucks 04:20 - From zero to hero 05:12 - When life hits the reset button 06:21 - Breaking up with the paycheck 06:42 - Know the game before you play 07:19 - Spotting properties worth chasing 08:52 - Don’t be the best-kept secret 10:03 - Just boring, fenced dirt 10:31 - Flamethrowers, anyone? 11:29 - Red light = Green money 12:12 - The very first win 13:39 - Becoming THE solution 14:35 - Bigger yards coming up! 14:58 - How big is BIG? 15:28 - Follow the numbers, not your gut 16:32 - Deal or dud? 19:03 - Let the numbers call the shots 19:32 - The best ideas hide in plain sight 20:09 - Why they chose this space 21:00 - Space to store.
