Got a lawn mower? Live in a neighborhood with lots of lawns? This might be the easiest way to start your own lawn mowing business–which you can then expand into a landscaping business! But first things first. If you know your neighbors, see if they’d be willing to be your first customers. And then, after you’ve made impressed them with a job well done, you can ask them to refer you to other neighbors who might also be willing to pay you to mow their lawn.
