    Peter Stadeli is the 26 year old entrepreneur behind Sta-Built Construction. He started his landscaping and concrete pavers business at 18 and now cleared $8.5M in revenue last year. Growing up on a 130-acre farm with eight siblings, Peter learned the values of hard work and resilience, the same qualities he finds responsible for his success.
    In this interview, Peter delves into the systems and strategies that have allowed him to operate a debt-free, multi-million-dollar enterprise with nearly 30 employees. How he leveraged HomeAdvisor to surpass the $1M sales mark and tips for how to install concrete pavers.
    Peter will also recount his biggest business setback, a $100K mistake, and the invaluable lessons he learned from it. So whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or a seasoned business owner, Peter's insights into managing a thriving landscape construction and pavers company are not to be missed.

    About 10 years ago, I got three quotes on a patio. None would provide any drawings or breakdown, other than it would pave under my deck and cost between 35-50K. I decided to do it all, with some help from some people my wife knew that did landscaping. We set aside six weekends, I learned to level with a bobcat, grade off the house, tamp etc. Ended up doing a three tier landscape, bringing in soil, crush and run and scree. We paved, did steps landscaped two lawns on top level, columns for raised planters, and walls all around with raised beds etc. I contracted the materials with a local paving company, and landscape company. When finished the paving company asked if they could take pictures as they had come out to see what I was doing with 20+ pallets of pavers and wall. It was better than any local company would have done. I had someone estimate, and they thought I paid around $120K. My only regret was the three people I had working with me all asked, practically pleaded that I start a company. Learned all the major components through CZcams.

    Bro made a smart decision starting right out of high school. I fell into the millennial scam of going to university wasting 4-5 years, gaining debt etc and only getting myself up at 30. When this dude is 30 he'll be in a much better position than most of his friends.

    I think a lot of the people interviewed blow smoke, but this guy seems genuine to the point where I would hire him. I like how he said people will use all the profits to expand instead of saving some for the slow and or hard times. Very underestimated statement as most people want instant growth.

    Truth be told I wold rather pay $5K for that work instead of a $70K "experience". Peter said they are selling the experience and a lot of people get roped into it. I mean good for him for figuring this out. A good backstory or experience is the best way to sell something. I have a neighbor that hired a full team for $150K to design his entire landscaping which gave him a colorized layout that he got to hang on his living room wall. He is soo proud of that framed printout. Wooohoo. A year later they are still planting his landscaping... its funny to watch because I would have been done in a month doing it myself, then I'd go to staples and print my own design and hang it on the wall. LOL. Some people are going to get wiped out eventually because they dont know how to manage their money.
