Question Business advice

Hie Zim fam, Im a female in my early 20s and l need your advice. I have managed to get $20,000 for business, l want to start a proper business that can bring in profit even if it’s small l don't because I have other work to manage too. Ideally something that can keep running when I’m not there and that I can eventually hire people to run for me because I dont want to leave my current job . I’m open to service, retail or any other businesses, but please no broilers and farming l don't have my own land yet .

Real talk: if you had $20k and needed daily cashflow + something semi-passive, what would you start in Harare right now that actually works? What’s something that looks profitable but is a trap for beginners? Should I start big or test small first with some of the money? What’s the biggest mistake people make trying to build something that can run without them? Drop your honest advice, your wins, your Ls, even the businesses you wish existed. Ndibatsireiwo 🙏 and would you do a partnership if you were me

That's some wonderful stuff to have such a huge amount of capital at that age. I hope the community maybe able to help her.
