Growing up very poor, in a fairly rough environment, you either have grit, you develop grit, or you dont make it.

Dave Menz, The Laundromat Millionaire

Grit, what does it mean? Millionaire, does it have meaning? Dave Menz, a working-class guy from Flint, MI, grew up in poverty and overcame superhero-like obstacles. This story is a life and business journey that doesnt stop at rags to riches. It begins with a stubborn and obsessive mission to be a business owner with a tenacious and genuine purpose to help others to do the sameeven if you also do not have a college degree or perhaps because you have one.

If you think there is nothing sexy about a laundromat, think again. Dave says he had to give that measured deliberation, but what it boils down to isif he can you can.

In essence, howd Dave become a Millionaire?
Well, nothing fell in his lap. He pursued it.
By scratchin, scrapin and hustlinand foremost, his mantra:

Never Give Up.

Adversity can be a tough, but a good teacher, assuming you dont give up and quit. When opportunity knocks, open the dang door. Dont own a job, own a businessand leverage your time.

Laundromat and Millionaire are two words not often combined. If you follow the principles in this book, including: embody a thirst for knowledge, keep your hand out of the cookie jar, embrace the spirit of new revenue streams, put yourself in the way of mentors, cultivate a forward thinking vision, and sanction the savvy it takes to take riskswelcome.

If you have that kind of grit, you are on the path. This business can be a gold mine for a person whos full of grit and doesnt care about sexy. If we are going to elevate our industry, we better get used to the term, Laundromat Millionaire .

The stories and examples in this book may focus on laundryand, for a guy who has earned success in it, pay homage of course! It is a vital community resource that simplifies a life, and can improve a neighborhood. Yet, the many tenets pertain to perhaps all industries, and certainly the way we choose to do business. Read on.and you will bear witness to what works.

Everyone has unique gifts and talents. Success for most people is simply a matter of will. How bad do you really want it?

Do NotDo NotUnderestimate True Grit

For my siblings Lisa & Danny, and to my baby boy Caiden. All of you were taken from this earth way too soon and while I dont understand why, your memory and love for others burns in me daily. I vow to live my life as if every day is cherished. Because it is. I miss you all so much and cannot wait to see you again someday.

My mission is to elevate an industry, specifically the Laundromat Industry. I didnt exactly start with that objective in mind. I just wanted to be a business owner.

Here is a brief progression:

I thrived through family hardship, and learned the essence and value of grit.

I reveled in many insomniac-ish nights studying and learning from the greats in business.

And, I became a business owner of a laundromat after discovering it on Craigslist.

And then, the owner of a chain of businesses, Queen City Laundry.

And, I continuously practiced disciplined reinvesting of earned money.

And, I was rewarded with a phenomenal team.

And then, flourished in even more obsessive reading, and researching, and networking.

And, subsequent to that, I became the owner of real estate.
