Most people believe that they need a university degree or extensive experience to earn a six-figure income. There may also be some jobs that people deem as a hobby, rather than a career. I’ve seen people succeed first-hand in the following jobs due to their relentless passion for customer service and dedication.
1. Mobile dog wash and grooming
So many people now opt for fur babies, instead of actual babies. And if they’re a proud owner, they like to pamper and groom their pets. Why don’t you capitalise on this growing trend and set up your own mobile service that provides first-class grooming, washing, clippings, and even dog walking. A mobile business also grants you flexibility in working hours and ease in travelling to different clients.
2. Mobile café and food trucks
From workplaces to sporting events, markets to festivals and events, mobile cafés and food trucks are becoming increasingly popular. Make sure you find your niche and experiment with your unique offering to ensure you stand out from other vendors. You will find that this career path allows you a new style of income, happiness, freedom and increased choices in life.
3. Lawn mowing
It may have been your pocket money job as a child but the lawn mowing, and garden service industry continues to grow each year. If you provide a reliable, friendly and professional service to just one client, you will see your referrals and clientele grow. It’s even better if you can secure regular appointments within a certain suburb or region.
