I am 23, graduated college and started a full time job. I realized fairly quick I really prefer working for my side business than my full time job. I’m not a fan of being “controlled” and hate not having control of my life in that aspect. Also grinding away for someone else’s gain.

Last year I mad 60k as a project coordinator in construction in NYC. I also made 40k pre tax on the side weekends and after work some days.

I think it’s in a position to replace my income with full time Effort but want to make sure I’m doing it right with as little bumps as possible.

Any advice?

My business would be handyman/ landscape projects. With time be a one stop shop home services company.

I plan to work part time with electrical/ plumbing/HVAC companies to learn more skills as I go.

    I think trades are very good for sole proprietorships or small business purposes. The skills you’d employ at scale are so far removed I wouldn’t even recommend you be a tradesman and an entrepreneur in same trade.

    All in all, you can make a very respectable living in almost any location with almost any trade. If you can do it and you enjoy or tolerate doing it, then go for it.
