When I made my first dollar from a lawn care business at the age of 15 I was hooked. I loved the idea of being an entrepreneur. Now, 20 years later I want to help bring the same sense of purpose and excitement to your teen. Starting a business is like a roller coaster ride...there are a lot of ups and a lot of downs...but it is a whole lot of fun.
