Starting Over… Again

Well, howdy! I'm Ben, and I’m tellin’ ya—if you’re sitting there wondering if hot dog vending still works, even when your world’s turned upside down… this one’s for you.

Not long ago, my wife Tasha and I had to rebuild everything after a flood took almost all we had.

Chickens, rabbits, geese—heck, we got 'em all back now—but starting from scratch isn’t new to us.

It’s also not new to a lot of hot dog vendors.

And I’m here to tell you… hot dog carts still work, even when life’s falling apart around you.

The Real Problem Ain’t the Cart

You know what stops most people from getting into vending?

Not the money

Not the equipment.

Not even the permits.
Nope.

The #1 thing that keeps folks stuck is overthinking.

I call it “paralysis from analysis.”

They spend weeks—sometimes months—tryin’ to learn every dang thing, comparing carts, makin’ lists, drawing logos, sketchin’ out dream menus… and guess what?

They never start.

That’s great for the vendors who do, because it clears the path for ‘em.

But it ain’t helping the dreamers.

You Don’t Need It All to Begin

When I started, I didn’t know a ball hitch from a banana stand.

Made mistakes.

Lots of 'em.
But I started.

You don’t need a full-blown concession trailer or a commercial kitchen.

You can literally start your vending business for under five grand.

Some folks do it for way less.

We’re talkin’ about a business that can make you $150K or more a year… and you’re telling me that’s not worth a shot?

Let me tell ya something…

🐓 Chickens, Floods, and Freedom

We lost just about everything, but we held onto what mattered—our freedom.

Out here at our little farm, we’ve got rabbits running loose, ducks honkin’, chickens cluckin’, and a sawmill runnin’ to rebuild.

It's far from fancy, but it’s ours.

I don’t need to ask a boss if I can go to a school play or a doctor appointment.

I just go.

Most vendors ain’t workin’ eight-hour days.

They’re workin’ three or four hours—makin’ good money.

Some work two days a week and make more than folks do in 40-hour jobs.

That’s the kind of freedom hot dog vending gives you.

🛠️ Hot Dog Carts — Still The Best Dang Business

Hot Dog Carts Still Work Because:

• Everybody eats.
• The overhead is low.
• You don’t need a college degree.
• You can start part-time or full-time.
• The income potential is ridiculous.

Look, hot dog carts aren’t glamorous.

You’re not gonna be on Shark Tank.

But you will be your own boss.
You’ll be in control.

And you’ll have a business that works in good economies and bad.

💪 Vendor Success Is Built on Doing

Don’t believe me?

I’ve got thousands of vendors inside Vendors United and across our training programs that prove it daily.

Take Nikki, for example.

She just picked up her Big Dog cart.

She's brand new to this, and she agreed to document the whole process—from licensing to serving that first dog—so everyone can learn from her journey.

Then there’s Michael Wood, a good buddy of mine.

He works one day a week.

Just one.

And he crushes it.

He ain’t the exception—he’s the example of what’s possible when you just get started.

💥 Don’t Wait for Perfect

If you're waiting for the perfect time, you’ll be waiting forever.

No matter how bad things get, the demand for food on the go doesn’t stop.

In fact, in hard times, vendors usually do better.

People want cheap, tasty, fast food—and that’s what we bring to the table (or sidewalk).

Just like we rebuilt our farm, you can rebuild your life.

One hot dog at a time.
