If you like to make money off of what people want, you are perfect for opening a business. I first starting repairing MatchBox cars for neighborhood kids and made them all join a MatchBox club and pay dues to join.

From that it evolved to buying used bikes at yard sales and selling them for a profit, usually with a spray job and some oil. Then I started buying lawnmowers and rebuilding them. Any time you pay less and sell for more, your are in business.

Next, I built a dog house business at 15 and marketed through 30 pet stores in the my state.

Now, I am into rental properties - I have a software company and I am always looking for the next place to turn other peoples needs into money for my pocket.
