Consider a lawn care business. You can start a lawn care business with little money. All you need is a lawn mower, a rake and perhaps a lawn edger. Use your parent's equipment to start with and then purchase your own if you make enough money. Post flyers in your neighborhood, or go door-to-door and offer your lawn care services.
