How do you make big money today? Many people look for exciting, glamorous opportunities that no one has tried before. But, it turns out that the real way to make money is more simple and common, according to the New York Times. The following “mundane” businesses, as the Times calls them, made people the most money over the past five years. They are landscaping, child care, janitorial services, nail salons and hair salons. Those five have been the biggest money makers in the small business arena, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. It goes hand-in-hand with the date in the book, “The Millionaire Next Door.” The book talks about how the most boring jobs can be the most lucrative. The key is to do something that you’ll enjoy. You should never go into business just to make money. Yes, it should be a big consideration. But it shouldn’t be the only one.
