Ive been interested in business and just diferent ways of making money since i was like 12 or 13 and ive been wanting to start a legitamate and profitable business. Ive been mowing my parents lawn for quite some time now so i started looking into lawn care and have found that it can be quite profitable. Im hoping i can start up a good business and maybe even pay for college with it

Can you put a business card holder on his counter? Also can you get his mailing list and send them a letter about your lawn care business?
