13 year old Entrepreneur


Remember the first time you waxed a car and made money, I do, it was my Neighbor's 1972 Ford LTD gold 2 door, this was like 1975, with a can of KIT wax, (we only had that and turtle wax couldn't afford blue coral) and bottle of Joy dish washing liquid( don't think there was even anything like a car wash soap back then or it was cheaper to take my moms under the sink) oh yeah and my mom's SOS pads to clean the white walls ( I had a real low over head starting out )
I even remember using mop n glo, or pledge to shine the tires ( my grandmother wasn't to happy with me taking hers, so I set out with a bucket a rag and a towel I started to clean my first car for money yes sir I was in the big time I spent all day on this car,washed waxed it polished the chrome, cleaned the windows, and sweep the car out with a high tech whisk broom,
I think I made a whopping $10 on this job man I was rich, since I had no overhead everything was my mom's and grandma's it was all profit. Please share your similar experiences.
