Did I ever tell you the story of my first business?
I was in 5th grade. My best friend and I would use all of our lunch money every morning to buy candy from 7-11. At school, we'd double the price and sell it to kids in class. It wasn't long before we were making $15 or $20 a day. We could have easily made more, but while lugging backpacks full of sweet candy goodness to school, we ate a good portion of our potential profits.
The teacher of our home room didn't seem to mind so much, but she must have told someone because eventually the Principal came in and said, "There will be no more selling of candy on school grounds. Anyone who breaks this will get a suspension."
So that was that.
Undeterred, we started a video game rental business and were well on our way back to super-grifter-kid status when a jerk from another class rented Castlevania II and decided to keep it. Man, my life would have turned out a lot different if I had hired bullies to enforce the return dates.
