10 Reasons to Buy a Laundromat Business as Your Next Side Hustle (Greatest Hits)
Are laundromats "the ultimate side hustle," like my guest Jordan Berry described?
These simple, local, cash-flowing businesses have been around forever, but surprisingly this is the first time discussing them in detail on the show.
Jordan is a former pastor turned laundromat mogul. Along the way, he's become an advocate for the industry through his website and podcast at LaundromatResource.com.
Jordan got the idea to buy a laundromat after his wife told him about a family friend quitting his day job in tech after buying one.
It wasn’t just the income potential that intrigued Jordan. He wanted a business that would generate passive income -- and yield better returns than real estate.
Jordan has been able to achieve both of those things through buying laundromats.
Tune in to hear:
why a laundromat makes a great side hustle and investment vehicle
some of the expensive mistakes to avoid
where to look for financing and some creative marketing and monetization ideas

Ever feel like you need a personal assistant but can't afford one?
Hannah Morgan found a way to help busy families get that support without the big price tag. She started Heron House Management, a virtual service that handles all the stuff families need to do but never have time for.
Think about it: remembering when summer camp sign-ups open, booking doctor appointments, planning family trips, or just keeping track of everyone's schedules. Hannah's team does all of that - from their computers.
Her business made $60,000 last year and keeps growing. And the best part is she works totally remote and helps families get their time back.

679: Free Inventory: The Sustainable Stuffed Animal Side Hustle
What if you could turn something destined for the landfill into a thriving business that's now sold in luxury stores like Selfridges and Bloomingdale's?
Charlotte Liebling noticed a heartbreaking problem while volunteering at a charity shop: donated stuffed animals were going straight into the bin or being sold as dog toys, despite the love and memories attached to them.
Instead of accepting this waste, Charlotte saw an opportunity. She created Love Before, what she calls a "sustainable soft toy adoption agency" that's now facilitated over 10,000 adoptions and built partnerships with some of the world's most prestigious retailers.
Charlotte runs it while still working another full-time job, proving that with the right systems and passionate community, you can scale a side hustle to impressive heights.
