How a kid, teenager or adult can get started in Lawn mowing with Little to no Money

What happens here

This step details a resourceful strategy for obtaining initial lawn care equipment without significant upfront costs. The presenter suggests approaching homeowners and offering to mow their lawn for the entire season free of charge. In return, the homeowner would permit the aspiring entrepreneur to use their existing lawn mower for this service, and potentially for other jobs to build up their business. The underlying principle is to appeal to the homeowner's willingness to help someone starting out, particularly if the entrepreneur is young and enthusiastic. As an example, the presenter showcases a functional battery-powered Black+Decker lawn mower that he personally acquired using similar methods, emphasizing the benefit of electric models that eliminate the need for gasoline.

Goal: Obtain a free or borrowed lawn mower to kickstart the business.

[Music] let's see hey Alex let's eat cake what Jake thinks of what we were saying okay so Alex and I were talking earlier nice proposed a scenario past them if you were sitting at home and a kid knocks on the on your door maybe someone from the neighborhood that you've seen around once or twice before so a familiar face this is hey look would you let me mow your lawn for you this year if you would borrow me your lawnmower to do it what would you think of that as long as the mower stays at my house I won't I wouldn't care okay so that's the catch the kid says what I'm trying to do is start my own lawn mowing company and I need a more to use I'll mow your lawn with your more all-season for you for free if you let me mow it so that I can go out and earn enough money to buy my own lawn mower okay I mean it's my mowers not alike great so one really cares sure go ahead I see you get your ma your more your log done for the year for nothing that'd be nice and your mowers going out and helping somebody start their own company now it's gonna be probably pretty acceptable for a kid what do you think Alex I mean yeah because you tried to help somebody out now here's where it gets really interesting if the kid is savvy what he's gonna do is go you know my ultimate goal is I'm gonna hopefully someday be able to buy a weed whip and I'm gonna get this and I'm gonna get these other tools but he doesn't ask for them because now what he's done is he's planted a seed in your head and if he's really smart if your wife is there he says that to her yeah and he doesn't ask for anything because then when you guys are out and about you're at a garage sale or you're on Craigslist or wherever guess what happens if you find this amazing bargain buy it you're gonna buy it and probably give it to the kid as a gift aren't ya yeah this kid's gonna have more tools and equipment that he could ever yeah so there's how you get if the kid has tried to get started he doesn't have the right tools and he doesn't have money to get started that's one way of doing it the only way would change if it was I do it for a kid but if it was some older guy I'd be like yeah I'm a little sketched out about this guy right exactly so if it's an older guy trying to get started with no money the best thing that he can do is he's gonna have to save some money up and go to Craigslist he's gonna have to I mean I've cooked I I picked up probably a half a dozen free lawnmowers all right
