That is hard to say without knowing your area and what you intend to do.
I'm assuming you have a bucket already, a set of fork is likely the next most usefull thing.
For myself it was the backhoe, for water lines, trenching, pulling stumps and rocks, A hoe has alot more breakout force the just the loader does.
Next was a auger, sonotubes, setting posts or building poles, planting trees.
But it is really a matter of figuring out what your area needs,

Well let me think, I would say a brush cutter would be a good money maker, go out and clear over grown fields with it. Lets see what eles, maybe a stump grinder and do stumps. You could get a breaker and do removeals of driveways and other concert. Those are the most general all around attachments. Everything eles kinda works into an over all business modle.

Since I bought my auger, it has become a real crowd pleaser in my neighbourhood. Setting posts is relatively easy work that many people think is more complicated than it really is.

I think the highest margin work for a skid steer operator is agriculture/game fence. My father recently had some done, we got qouts from several installers and considering the mark up, I could have bought the equipment for my skid and saved money. I have been considering do this part time becuase it's so profitable. Your retired from IBM, do you live in the tripple cities?
