For every hour's worth of work ... you need to get a minimum of between $30 to $35 per hour for an hour's worth of time ... (although I'd shoot higher than that) to survive. After you have employees working with you, and the other costs of doing bizz like insurance and regular operating costs ... total costs will come to from $20 to $24 per hour (cost) that's why you need to produce $30 and above ... generally for every $10 in direct hourly wages paid to others, you have another $10 to $12 added to those costs.

1 Dollar per minute.
Grass cutting time only.
20 Dollar job, 20 minutes. Thats a good start.
10 minutes between jobs = 40 per hour.
I like 60 per hour.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
