Finding Out Possible Money Makers

There are two things that always seem to stump me when I first start thinking about wanting to make money. First would be, "How will I get this thing off the ground?" and Second, "What am I even doing?". And it's the second one that I'm going to go over today. Believe it or not, as much as you'd like to sometimes disown your parents or think that they have stupid ideas, they might just as well be your key to success. I'm saying this because I myself had the same thought (Being an Uneducated, Egotistical Teen) and the last place I wanted to go to get fresh ideas for making money would be the folks. Finally, when I got past the ego of mine and asked, My Mom had some great ideas! I didn't think so at the time, but after making a few phone calls, turns out there had been accounts of kids around the nation who had done the exact same things and made bookoo Bucks! So thanks Mom! And all we literally did was sit down and brainstorm about my best qualities (like being able to interact with people, etc.) and then thought of ways to incorporate these into services or products that people need! One thing we came up with (dorky and lame as it sounds) was delivering groceries to shut-ins or older folks that cant get out to do it whether it be because of bad weather or just not healthy enough. Doing a bit of research I found there had been kids in places around the country (California mostly... maybe if they were more like their kids they wouldn't be bankrupt ;)) that did quite well for themselves just as long as they did their logistics right and bought in bulk, while saving there customers money and also increasing their profit. It's part time, not that hard, can really make the bank if it's run right, and last but not least... gives a little back to the generation before us showing just how capable we really are!

Just Another Idea.

Job History: Part 1 of Yours Truly

Well today I figured I'd give you just a bit more insight on some of my past business experience as a teen. And today I'll go over my first business which was mowing grass. Pretty predictable and boring right? Well that might be true... Okay it's very true, but that's exactly why I got the job. Not everything you do will be something you LOVE to do, but guess what, it made the money and gave me the experience. Mowing lawns on the riding lawnmower I used made me 10 dollars an hour. This money I also had to use to pay for my lawnmowers gas. But hey!! It's a profit right? and at 10 years old that was good enough for me! So for the rest of that summer I mowed lawns and had plenty of business just because I was a cute, greedy, hardworking little youngster. Granted I might not have made enough money to get you rich, but what I did do was make a connection. Turns out two of my lawn mowing customers owned landscaping businesses. And that will lead to my next job.So always remember that what you might be doing right now may not be making you the most money but it very well could be that what your doing for someone now no matter what it is could creating a new new customer for a future business of yours or they themselves could hire you for something bigger and better yet. And don't forget to always be courteous and do well at whatever the task is at hand..... To Be Continued.

Below is a great book I'm currently reading and was thinking maybe you'd like it too!

Teen Business Tips from the Get-Go

Many People my age are seeming to lose interest in business it seems, and normally rightly so. Because of child labor laws, not being able to sign anything unless they are 18, and having to deal with the constant put downs of today's society I too almost just said forget it. And trust me, I have seen the issues a hundred times over every time I go to check out a new subject in the business world that I feel like I'd like to dabble in. And luckily for the most part I have support from my parents, but that's still not enough and never will be. You can only live off of your parents recommendation for so long before you have to go out and prove yourself to society. So for my first tip for today, I would have to say, Make Your Self Known!!! That would be number one in my book. Show people you care about business and want to learn! It's all about the networking and that's exactly why I created this blog; to meet other kids like me so that we can work together with a knowledge we have of certain subjects and help get everyone a good start. So keep following and make yourself known! Whether by business cards or just shaking hands with your parents friends hands at dinner parties... GET OUT THERE!

The Beginning as I know it...

Hello and Welcome for the people I hope will eventually follow me. Let's get you some background information so you know if this blog could possibly have something that interests you.

First off, If you couldn't tell by the title yes I am a teen, still in highschool, and still considered uneducated except for the qualifications of a GED. What I plan to be posting on this beautiful new creation of mine is hopefully going to give you comical, financial, and all around just a good time with ideas that I hope you will comment on and maybe see that yes, a teen a can come up with these things too. My main goal for this blog is so that I can come in contact with other teens with the same ambitions as me trying to become something great at an early age. I love hearing success stories of other teens either financially or better yet... recognized for Great accomplishments that can't possibly be measured in monetary means. Also if possible I'd like to help network for those teens so that we can all help each other out in our everyday strive to beat out the last generation with bigger, better, and more powerful ideas. Because believe it or not... I do believe its possible for teens to make real life money and not just the fake figures you might see in that hour a day business class of yours. And on top of all of that I also will be posting other things that might interest people such as books I recommend or books that other much more experienced people around me suggest for me to read that can give us ambitious teens a step up above others. Great sites with information on other success stories that can give you ideas or inspire you no matter what your dream may be will be posted along with much much more....

So with that small blip I really do hope you enjoy and that this becomes quite helpful for you. In the mean time im going to fix this blank page up and get you guys some info. Thanks a bunch!

 Yours Truly,

JM
