I was hard up in the 90s, couldn't land a job, refused to work in food again. Had a newspaper route so I posted flyers in the trailer parks I visited. "Yard mowed $10" Got loads of responses.
All I had was an old passenger car and a borrowed lawn mower. Didn't even have a phone number, had to give them mom's and check in on payphones. First day a lady asked if I could edge. Mom: "You don't have an edger." "Tell her I can do it, I'll have one after I get paid on this job."
Got tons of referrals after I started rolling. Could have turned it into a serious business if I hadn't been whiskey drunk that whole decade.
My wife's ex-husband is the biggest lumber customer at the local Lowe's. He started a fence company a couple of years ago, doing the work himself and her helping, at 71. He's quite well off now.
Wife wants to start a child care in the Philippines. She's got a bachelor's in early childhood education and was already successful the first time around. We're talking about running it from America. She thinks a couple of thousand will easily get it off the ground.
Point being, there's so much opportunity out there.
