It isn’t easy running a local business serving your neighbors; it’s even harder when you’re competing against corporate giants. But there is one thing that gives local home town businesses the upper hand.. And if you haven’t experienced yet, well then it’s about time. I’m talking about that personal level of customer service, where service is done with passion and pride in mind, not profit.

Spend some time shopping your local barbershop, butcher or shoe repair, etc. A lot of these local places are the real supporters of your community; some even sponsoring things like your youth baseball team when you played as a child. But for most men, they’ve forgotten about those things as price and convenience takes the forefront of answering the question: “Where should I shop at?”

72. Bulldoze Something

I’d like to believe that demolition is a sincere form of artwork. Who’s the say you can’t have fun sculpting a masterpiece working with a wrecking ball or bulldozer? Some people fall in love with art that has one painted brush stroke, in fact they’ll pay millions for it. You know what’s really worth millions? The experience you’ll have smashing tangled metal, concrete and dirt all-together in a destructive furry. The aftermath is oddly enough… Stunningly beautiful.

There’s the thrill, power, and rush you get when you’re behind the wheel of these massive toys. And if you think you have to become a construction worker to do this, you might want to think again. To my surprise there’s a heavy equipment playground in Vegas where you can rent them out yourself.

Another thing to do before you die: Participate in a demolition derby race

73. Mine for Gold And Strike It Rich

You don’t have to buy millions of dollars worth of machinery, nor you need to have your own TV show like Gold Rush in order to strike it rich. In fact, you can discover gold and other precious stones all across the world without a big investment. Chances are you won’t become the next famous gold digger, but with gold prices as high as they are right now, you might just walk away with a size-able chunk of cash. No matter what the outcome, the 7,000 year old tradition of gold mining is always an enjoyable time well spent.
