The $100K Service Business Starter Manual
$47
Start, grow and scale your first service business from scratch, even if you're starting with no money.
Broke to 100K is the step-by-step manual I wrote after building my own landscaping business from one lawn and one customer to $100K in a year. No loans. No investors. No handouts.
It's 9 chapters and a 30-day launch plan that show you how to pick your service, price it with confidence, land your first customers and grow toward six figures, with every script and checklist I wish I'd had.
π $47. Instant download. Plus a free bonus manual.
Why most people never start
You've thought about it. Maybe for years.
"I'll start when I have the money." "When I find the right idea." "When I have the website, the logo, the LLC, the truck."
So you wait. And the perfect moment never comes.
Here's the truth I learned the hard way: you don't need any of that to land your first paying customer. You need a clear service, a clear price and a way for people to reach you. Everything else comes later.
Service businesses are the fastest path from "someday" to paid, because people already need the work done. Lawns grow. Gutters fill. Driveways get dirty. Homeowners don't have time, and they'll pay someone reliable to handle it.
The only thing missing is the plan.
How I went from one lawn to a $100K business
I didn't set out to build a landscaping company. I wanted freedom. I wanted control of my income.
I didn't have extra money. I didn't have connections. I didn't have equipment. I didn't have anyone guiding me.
So I started with one lawn, one customer, one tool and a decision that I was going to make it work.
I texted everyone in my phone. I posted in local Facebook groups every day. I knocked on the neighbors' doors every time I finished a job. I undercharged at first, took every job and spread myself too thin. Then I fixed those mistakes, raised my prices, focused on the right neighborhoods and built routines.
Within a year, that one lawn had become a $100K business.
Nothing about it was magic. It was a set of simple systems repeated every day. Broke to 100K is every one of those systems, written down so you can follow them too.
$100K isn't magic. It's math.
$100,000 a year sounds impossible until you break it down: $1,923 a week. That's about 13 jobs a week at $150, or 10 jobs at $200.
The manual shows you the two levers that get you there: raise your average ticket with simple upsells (an $80 job becomes a $150 job), and stack jobs in the same neighborhoods so you spend your day working, not driving.
It also lays out the realistic path in three stages, with monthly targets for each:
Months 1β3, Foundation: consistent customers and confident pricing
Months 4β6, Consistency: a weekly schedule that stays full
Months 7β12, Scaling: routes, upsells, a second service and better neighborhoods
Picture your first 30 days
Week 1: Build the foundation. You pick one service using the 10-question Fit Test, set your minimum charge and packages, and announce your business to everyone you know. By the end of the week, you're sending out quotes.
Week 2: Your first customers. You post in local Facebook groups and on Nextdoor, drop driveway flyers, and follow up on every quote. You finish your first job, take before-and-after photos, and ask for a review and a referral.
Week 3: Build consistency. You set a weekly routine, add your first upsell and start working in a better neighborhood. You ask every customer one question, "monthly or bi-weekly?", and repeat income begins.
Week 4: Scale and systemize. You focus on your most profitable jobs, build routes, raise prices slightly and plan Month 2.
Day 30. You're not "thinking about starting a business" anymore. You run one.

Once your schedule is full, you'll hit a ceiling: you. If you're doing all the work, you don't own a business yet. You own a job.
That's why every copy of Broke to 100K comes with my second manual free. It's the playbook for going from the person who does the work to the person who runs the business:
Where to find reliable subcontractors on Nextdoor, Google and Facebook, with an outreach message to copy
How to vet them: the questions to ask, insurance and licensing, and an 8-step vetting checklist
How to price jobs with a sub so you profit on work you don't do yourself
Contracts and payments, quality control without micromanaging, and building your bench
A 30-day subcontracting launch plan

Is this for you?
This is for you if:
You want to replace your job, build side income or start a real business, and you're tired of waiting for the "right time"
You're starting with little or no money, no connections and no experience
You're willing to work with your hands or your laptop, show up on time and talk to people
You want a simple, step-by-step plan, not 50 ideas
This is not for you if:
You want money without doing the work
You're looking for a passive or "push-button" income scheme
You won't send a single text, post or flyer to tell people what you do
If you're in the first group, this manual was written for you.
"But what if..."
"I don't have any money to start." Neither did I. Chapter 5 is ten ways to market for $0, and the manual helps you pick a service you can start with tools you already have or can get cheaply.
"I don't have any skills or experience." Customers care more about whether you show up on time, communicate clearly and clean up after yourself than about years of experience. Chapter 2 helps you choose a service you can learn quickly.
"I'm nervous about selling and talking prices." Chapter 4 gives you the Confidence Price technique and the exact words to say when someone pushes back. Chapter 3 gives you scripts for every first conversation.
"I don't know what business to start." The 10-question Fit Test and the 15-minute decision method help you choose one today, from a shortlist of 10 beginner-friendly services.
"Will I make $100K?" I can't promise that, and nobody honest can. $100K is what I built and the target the manual is designed around. Your results depend on your service, your market, your prices and how consistently you work the plan. What I promise is a clear path and every system I used.
"How is it delivered?" Instantly, as two PDFs you can read on your phone, tablet or computer.
Your first $150 job pays for it three times over
The manual is $47. The manual's own pricing table puts an average job, like a gutter cleaning or driveway wash, at $100 to $200.
One job covers it. Everything after that is yours.
Compare that with the alternatives: a business course that costs hundreds, a loan you don't need, or another year of waiting for the perfect moment.
Here's what you get today for $47:
Broke to 100K: the full 101-page manual
The 30-day launch plan and one-page printable version
Every script, checklist, pricing table and worksheet inside

Results vary. My results building a landscaping business are not typical, and most people who buy a business guide will not earn $100K. Your results depend on your effort, skills, service, pricing and local market. Broke to 100K is an educational guide and does not guarantee any income. The subcontractor agreement and ACH form are templates, not legal advice; have them reviewed by a licensed attorney in your state before use.
