98: Hard-Won Lessons Learned, Starting And Growing GreenPal

Side Hustle Hero

28-05-2024 • 35 mins

This episode is replete with hard-won lessons learned and sage business advice.

In our last episode (#97), we learned that 14-year-old Bryan Clayton started his lawn care side hustle after being forced by his dad to cut the neighbour’s lawn.

After building that side hustle into a very full-time business with 150 employees and over $10million a year in revenue, he cashed out.

Then together with a couple of partners, he started to build GreenPal, which has been described as “the Uber for lawn care.”

You’ll gain insights and ideas for your side hustle when you hear Bryan talk about;

  • the creative way he attracted the first group of users to the platform,
  • what he did to finally nab top spot rankings in google organic search results by way of GreenPal’s lawn care contractors,
  • why you need to know just enough to be dangerous at about 20 different things in order to get a business from zero to one, and
  • so much more.

If you’re thinking about a lawn care side hustle, GreenPal has a free option to help you get started.

Do you like what you're hearing? Consider giving it a caffeinated thumbs up. We'd really appreciate it!
