    I started a lawn care business about 15 years ago as a side hustle while I was a state LEO. Got my pesticide license for spraying yards and did really well. Retired from the state and gave the side hustle up for a Monday - Friday job with the feds.

    Fixing cars, HVAC work, Electrical work. I can easily make $1000 or more in a day by installing a new AC unit, a new electric service or swapping out a breaker box. I have made over $200 for 30 minutes of work doing service calls as well.

    Whatever you decide on what to do, a couple of things to think of:
    1) Do not give away your services, charge a reasonable amount.
    2) Be straight forward on your costs.
    3) Wealthy people, in general, are the worst customers.
    4) Don't do Favors. Then those you did the favor for, expect you to continue doing Favors.

    Good luck in your decision!

    I always tell guys to go cut grass. Low overhead and low startup costs. Buy 500 door hangers and go to your closest development and hang them. Expect about a 2% return on them. Get 20 yards to cut and BAM your golden. I started with 3 yards now have 62 I do solo.

    I inadvertently started a custom cabinet/furniture business out of my woodworking shop in the last six months. Just finishing up making it a legit business. On track to clear an extra 15-20k this year. I have also started making small things like cutting boards, keepsake boxes....things I can ship and sell online.

    That seems like an interesting one. I have learned to install and maintain my own landscape lighting. I use Alliance as I like their products. They are a cut above what you get at Home Depot. I think the most challenging aspect would be learning the voltage and the voltage drops on each circuit.

    If you deliver a car from point A to point B how do you return to point A?

    Based on my time sitting in Enterprise offices waiting on rental cars I think they have someone follow them to carry them back to point A.

    Sometimes we pick up a car and return to our office. Most of the time we have a chase vehicle to return drivers to our place of employment.

    Drawing floorplans for build out spaces has become too much of a side hustle. It's cutting into my fishing!
    Just be kind to one another. It really is that simple.
