PATH 4: LOCAL SERVICE BUSINESS WITH SYSTEMS
**Who this path is for**
People comfortable with hands-on work or managing people who do the work — and who want a simple, direct business that serves their local area.
**What problem it solves**
Locals need reliable, professional help with everyday services — cleaning, lawn care, tutoring, basic tech setup, etc. Most providers are inconsistent. You become the "finally, someone reliable" option.
**How money is made**
You charge per job, per visit, or on recurring plans. Examples:
• Residential cleaning: $100–$300 per job, 10–50 clients/month
• Lawn care: $50–$150 per visit, recurring weekly/bi-weekly
• Tutoring: $50–$100/hour, 10–20 hours/week
Revenue = (number of clients) × (average transaction value) × (frequency)
**What you need to start**
• A service people already pay for.
• Basic tools/equipment.
• A way for customers to find and trust you (Google Business Profile, simple site, social proof).
• Willingness to do unglamorous work and manage logistics.
**What 30–90 days of progress looks like**
• 0–30 days: Decide your service, set up basic presence, talk to 30–50 locals.
• 31–60 days: Land first recurring customers, build simple scheduling and reminder system.
• 61–90 days: Start hiring help or contractors, standardise how the work is done.
**Reality check**
This can be one of the most straightforward ways to build solid income, but it is not "online laptop lifestyle." There will be cancellations, messy jobs, and operational stress. If you want pure laptop work only, this is not your path.
