Do we have any Wazua entrepreneurs based and doing business in the US? If not, does anyone know of a good forum where they might be discussing US based issues?

I have two things I'm researching but I think it would be a great for those on this end of the world who are looking for a second hustle or just tired of working for "the man".

If you can specify what kind of stuff you are into then it would be easier for someone to refer you to some group.

"Tired of working 'for the man' is a gimmick you might want to drop because it is not an impressive pitch line, if you start your conversation with that pitchline no one will take you serious, entrepreneurs are mainly driven not by being tired of working for someone but mainly by a passion or a desire to solve a specific problem.

The only time you should be looking down on others is when you are helping them up.

I was not trying to impress anyone but anyway ...

On weekends, mainly Saturdays I clean for 4 old ladies who live in my apartment complex. I charge them a standard fee whether the place is a mess or not and I'm usually done in 2 hours/client. The complex has many units and the number of clients (the elderly and single people) are also many but I can only manage the 4 I have.

Is there anyone out there doing the same but on a larger scale with employees etc. and can offer pointers on how to proceed?

I would call this small business, check out molly maid business model otherwise I can't think of anyone who have done it bigger, most of the labor intensive businesses are hard to scale so they are not attractive to investors.

Hi Sansa, which state are you in? Once upon a time I thought about this I just never did anything about it. How much do you charge per apartment? How many bedrooms?
