Subplimenting income for a side job that will require more attention as the business grows may become a problem for you if your intention is to keep both.
However, if kept in check by keeping is small and start slow, it can be done!
The most worrisome time you will face is the ending of the mowing season. If you don't have a soild plan what you will do to off set this season, then I would keep my day job! Temporarly of course
Once you know how much you have to have to off set this time, then you know how much you must put back until such time when your off again mowing. If your unable to grow at a rate you would like, intergrade other services you can offer. When I was starting out early in the season I offered mulchings, shurb maintainace, and Christmas Lighting. Now, I'm concentrating on Christmas Lights, Mowing, and Fertilizaiton and weed control. As a solo op, I have more work which I can pick and choose what, how and when best suit my calender year. What I don't want I pass on to other solo ops that I have come to be aquaintied with. On a side note, be picky, don't just mow everybody who want it. You must make your business profitable.
Good Luck!
