Mow and Multiply — Fund Your Policy with a Lawn Business This Summer

Summer isn’t just for vacations and iced lemonades—it’s a prime opportunity to put your hands to work and your money to mission.

If you’ve been thinking, “I want to start an infinite banking policy… but I don’t have the extra cash flow yet,” let me introduce you to one of the simplest summer side hustles out there:

Lawn care.

That’s right—cutting grass, trimming hedges, edging driveways… it may sound old-school, but it still pays in 2025. In fact, it could be the exact seed God’s given you to fund your next big goal.

The Lawn Game Is Still Strong

Let’s do the quick math. If you cut 5 yards a week at $30–$50 per yard, that’s $150–$250 per week. Do that for 8–10 weeks this summer, and you’ve got anywhere from $1,200–$2,500+ just sitting there—ready to be deposited into your policy or applied to a family savings goal.

Start with friends, family, neighbors, and your church community. Most people would love to support a family or teenager working with purpose.

What You’ll Need (Simple Startup Plan)

You don’t need to go buy a trailer and $6,000 mower. You need:

  • A decent push mower (you can even borrow one to start)

  • A trimmer or edger

  • A rake, trash bags, and gloves

  • A business name and a simple flyer (print or Canva)

  • Your mission: “Every yard I mow helps me build my family’s future.”

If you're teaching your child or teen how to earn and steward money, this is one of the most practical, hands-on lessons you can give them.

From Grass to Growth: Use the Income with Intention

This isn’t “get rich quick.” This is get strategic.

Take that income and direct it straight into something bigger:

  • Fund your infinite banking policy

  • Set up a sinking fund for a family trip

  • Pay off a nagging debt

  • Invest in your business tools or education

If you already have a policy in place, use the lawn income to repay a loan to your own bank. That’s what the banks do—use money in motion to make more.

God Honors Movement

Don’t wait until your bank account is overflowing to start building wealth. Steward what’s in your hand—even if it’s just a lawnmower.

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord…” — Colossians 3:23

A mower may not look like ministry. But when the vision is tied to purpose and the income is submitted to God, it becomes a tool for transformation.

Final Word: Don’t Overthink It. Start.

There’s still time this summer to earn, learn, and plant the financial seeds your family needs.

God gave you creativity and energy. Put it to work.
Mow the yard. Stack the cash. Fund the vision.

Because ordinary income becomes extraordinary when it’s aligned with Heaven.
