I started my business when I lost everything in 2008 and ended up basically homeless. We decided to start a business in cleaning offices. Got a random Job and made a bit of cash to buy a broom, mop, and a few cleaning supplies all under 100 bucks.
Went to knock on doors and finally after 100 no we got a yes. Our first office paid us 400 dollars a month to clean 5 days a week. It would take us around 30 min but we were so happy we had a customer. 2023 our business is a Corporation that brings in half a million dollars a year. Hope this helps give some encouragement.
