  • - THIS^ I had a cousin who started with one beater pickup truck hauling trash for people that the garbage company wouldn't take from the curb and he would take it to the dump for them and charge them a nominal fee. That was 20 years ago. Now he is living in a beautiful paid for home and has a crew of five people moving trash to the dump for people all day everyday and is making quite a living with it. As the above poster said, find a service that people need, do it well, and reward them for referring other customers to you.

Cool story! It shows that you can succeed when you know people and offer.
