I think I'm pretty good at a few things. Some I think people may even pay for. So I think "what if I did x as a small business side hustle"

Let's say: snow removal in my immediate area. Nothing crazy, me and my snow blower.

Okay but that's very seasonal. Let's do basic lawn mowing in the summer. But what if I don't get enough business to fill my time. I also like doing picture framing. But can I justify doing that as a side biz.

So here's where I'm at: why can't I do all those things. Not in a massive scale. Just create small businesses that advertise cheaply and locally. Manage time efficiently... Good scheduling and communication. Why can't I run like five businesses at once doing little things I like or I'm good at? Am I crazy?

For straightforward stuff that you don't need any equipment or practice to do, the only downside is going to be marketing. Could also start with a general handyman service and list all that those things as examples, though that's not as strong of a marketing position as "your grass too tall? i fix!".
Try it both ways. Start throwing shit at the wall and see what sticks. If you hit the right one, you won't have time to do any of the others. And if you're crafty, that's when you start hiring people.

In my personal experience, finding the work is the easy part. Its the whole "running the business", i.e. invoicing/billing/taxes/payroll part that intimidates me and keeps me from making that leap.
