He Found a Grant That Feels Like a Cheat Code ($2.4M/Year)

Synopsis

Guest Hector explains how to start online trade schools funded by government grants that can cover a student's entire tuition. He generated $2.4 million in his first year with 80-90% margins by white-labeling existing training rather than building courses from scratch, and covers licensing, startup costs, finding students before grant approval, and using the school as a hiring pipeline for a service business. Trades like forklift, EV, and appliance repair are pitched as AI-proof for decades.
