When I was growing up in the 1990s, my role models weren't famous singers or athletes. They were entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs, Richard Branson and Ray Kroc. In my teens I was more excited reading "Losing My Virginity" than playing video games. And by the time I was 13, I knew I wanted to become an entrepreneur.
My fascination with entrepreneurship actually started when I was 8. Every weekend I would setup a makeshift lemonade stand at the bottom of our street and would wave down passers by to stop and buy a glass for $1. Soon the lemonade stand turned into car washing. I would charge $5 per car and pretty soon I was making over $200 per week washing cars on the weekend. As an 11 year old.
