    How did you get your start???

    What was your first childhood entrepreneurial adventure, and or your first real business? I am currently still young and would just like to know how everyone else started.

    Well my first childhood entrepreneurial adventure would probably be my restaurant. By restaurant, I mean I would charge my parents to cook and bring them food. (I was pretty young) Then it was a snack stand during my neighborhood's garage sales.

    My first real business was a website. I have stuck with this.

    Well when I was younger I charged my family for everything fixing their computers, babysitting, anything. What I consider my first step into the entrepreneurial world was when I was in middle school, there was an entrepreneur club that taught us everything including taking us to a bank to get 30 or 40 dollar loans to open little stands. My stand was a used bookstore, I made a profit the first day. My family really encouraged it as well.

    Well my first was actually selling clothes and sneakers on eBay. Do i have any people who have done this?
    Mind you, the clothing s may have been fake , yet they sold and gave me profit in the hundreds to thousands. I was very young and it taught me alot of things that i could only learn from exeprience.
