Mike Andes explains a concrete lawn-mowing side-hustle plan that lets someone keep a 9–5 job and still earn about $1,000 per week. His plan: mow three lawns each evening for five weekdays (≈30 minutes per lawn → ~1.5 hours/night = 15 weekday lawns), then spend one weekend day mowing about 10 lawns, for a total of 25 lawns. At an average of $40 per cut, 25 lawns yields $1,000 per week. The video frames this as a gradual way to transition into owning a mowing business without quitting full-time work.

Chapters

If you love mowing grass and you're wanting to start a side hustle, this is a great option. Mowing lawns every single evening and once on the weekend is a great way to be able to make $1,000 per week without quitting your 9 to 5 job. So here's what I need you to do. I need you to mow three lawns, just three lawns every evening. It could take you 30 minutes per lawn. It's maybe an hour and a half every single evening. And if you do that five days a week, that's gonna be 15 lawns. Then I'm gonna need you to take one day on the weekend, either Saturday or Sunday, and mow 10 lawns. It's gonna take you most of the some of the larger lawns on that day, if you like. And that's going to be a total of 25 lawns for the entire week. If you averaged $40 per cut for those 25 lawns, that'd be $1,000 for the week. And guess what? You didn't have to quit your job. That's a great way to slowly transition into owning your own business.
