722: The Million Dollar Business in Your Backyard
About this episode
What if the million dollar business you're looking for is literally in your own backyard?
William Milliken went from zero to 350 recurring customers in his first three months in business, starting a pet waste removal company as a side project. Last year, his business racked up over $3 million in revenue, all from the not-so-glamorous service of cleaning up dog poop.
And if that wasn't enough, William turned his knowledge into another side hustle, teaching others through swoopscoop.com and the Poop Scoop Millionaire community. That's turned into another almost million dollar a year business.
Listen to Episode 722 of the Side Hustle Show to learn:
how to start a pet waste removal business with almost no money
the surprising economics that make this a six-figure opportunity
• creative strategies to scale beyond your local market
