Sorry thought the Business was still the CD thing, now if it’s the yard it may be deferent.
But how big are yards where you are? (Where I am its farm that’s a LOT of land
But in towns they can be Very small\only front steps) since you live in town 20 may be to much.
you get paid for how much you do not what you do.
if they have one small yard i will say 5-10 bucks

I’ve lived in farm where nice yards are real big
So I have no clue how good size yard is
But I get $25 for the front yard
$10 for the back yard (it’s kind of like the front yard on movies)
And $30 for the pastor in till the divider (cows and horses)
And if I feel like killing my self In total I can get over a $100
But this takes more then a week at times


point is i have no idea what a good size yard is in your veiw

You should probably practice your typing abilities first.

Still, I would recommend sticking to your core competencies. And core competencies for a fifteen year old are things that are manual labor. There are a few exceptions to this, but not a lot.

We are not trying to beat you up here, we just want you to start building good habits that lead to a productive life, and not just make grabs at money with no discipline.

If people decide that it takes an hour to mow their own lawns, and you are charging $20, then they may decide to not hire you because they feel $20 per hour is to much for unskilled labor. There will be a few people who will pay you at the price you ask and be happy with it.

If you want to make money, you need to offer a good deal. This means that it must be worth it for the customer to hire you, rather than doing it themselves. Then you will create volume for your services, perhaps a regular clientelle, and good will. Round here, some kids will go around offering to shovel peoples walks for just $1, relying on good will to make up the difference, and for the client to genuinely decide how much your work is worth to them.
