I used to by candy bars in middle school for a dollar and then break them into eights and sell them to kids for a quarter each. Earlier, I used to go door to door shovel sidewalks for change. Once I was in college, however, I was too idealistic to work for money. It wasn't until I bought my own business that I starting thinking and reading about it again. I did this, too.

I remember finding out that I could buy a box of 12 of the small packs of Now-n-Later's for about a buck, then sell each pack for 25 cents. Later I made and sold my own comics. It's funny how that entrepreneur sprit seems to spark at an early age. A lot of the self employed folks I talk with have similar stories - and many stem from looking at things differently and following their own path. I loved this post.

It's more work than selling books and cards to friends, though. But I also have other things going, too. I have an entry in progress called something like "five ways I make money" that describes how I profit from: * working the day job at the business my father started * maintaining web sites * operating a small computer consulting business on the side * selling stuff on eBay * etc. For a long time, I wasn't interested in business. The bug left me when I left for college, and it didn't come back until a few years ago. Funny -- since it came back, I'm more financially secure? Coincidence? I don't think so.
