Anything—really anything—Can Be a Business
Have you ever looked at a problem and thought, “That’s never going to turn into something profitable”? Well, meet Flash Shelton, AKA the “Squatter Hunter.” When squatters moved into his late dad’s house with furniture and all, the police said there was nothing they could do. It was considered a civil matter, and the legal process, if even possible, would drag on for months or years. So Flash got creative. He had his mom draft a lease naming him as the official tenant. That way, he became the squatter and gained the legal right to control the house. He struck early one morning, moved in, put up cameras, locked things down, and simply let the actual squatters know: “If you break back in on camera, I will prosecute—move your things out, or the furniture’s gone.” They were out by the end of the day. That story went viral. Flash turned it into a business—Squatter Hunters. He now consults, sometimes flies out to help homeowners directly, and offers operations starting around $5,000, with more complex cases costing more. His motto? “If they can take a house, I can take a house.” From a crisis to a calling… this is the essence of entrepreneurial transformation. Everything… even something as sticky as squatter eviction can spark a business if you’re willing to reframe the problem, test creatively, and leap in.
