This week’s guest started his side hustle with the goal of earning an extra $1,000 a month. Four summers later and it’s now a 6-figure business.

Blademir Hernandez of LitterFreeLots.nyc is a long-time listener of the Side Hustle Show who was inspired by Brian Winch’s story in episode 266 to start his business.

Additional Resource: CleanLots

Brian built a $650k a year operation picking up litter and cleaning parking lots, something Blademir told me he knew he could also do.

Blademir ended up reaching out to Brian and running the idea past him, before going out and finding property managers in this area to pitch his litter picking service to.

This story is a perfect example of what can happen when you take inspiration from a proven business model and execute your own game plan.

Tune in to The Side Hustle Show interview to hear:

• more on where Blademir got the inspiration to start his litter pick-up business
• how he found his first customers by driving around his neighborhood
• how Blademir has scaled his business by hiring contractors to carry out the work
