the elementary entrepreneur

don’t many of us wish to have learned this early lesson…

a friend of mine recently explained his first lesson in business. his grandfather helped him get the plan started…a saving account and chewing gum in 1950

after small jobs he saved up a total of $5. with this money grandpa showed him how to buy gum in bulk packages…ten for twenty cents. he sold individual packs for 5-cents to grade school friends.

real estate followed. now sixty years later, he owns $115,000,000 of debt free property, wears jeans and drives a diesel pickup.

can parents (grand-) teach this lesson today?
