(Posted by: James on 2009-10-14 20:15:45)

I am a 14 year old boy. Me one of my friends, My sister, My sisters friend. So there are 4 of us.We want to make some money. We decided to make our own business.My grandmothers home is an apartment and the upstairs is empty so we have a place to use as our business. What are some good ideas for a teen owned and operated business. There is a dollorstore within walking distance that we can maybe buy some supplies. We are all home- schooled on the computer so we can work at day and do school work at night. Please send some good ideas.

Since the holidays are approaching and you are near a dollarstore, you can make and sell baskets for the holidays and special occasions. Example: a baby basket could be a baby bathtub filled with baby supplies-powder, oil, bibs, bottles, wash cloths, towels, etc. Surround the bathtub/ basket with cellophane tied with pink or blue ribbon. a Thanksgiving basket could be a wicker basket filled with fall scented candles, placemats, napkins, etc. wrapped in cellophane tied with fall festive ribbon Get the idea? You can also get coffee mugs and fill with packets of cocoa or tea or hot cider. Have fun and good luck!!

Get a small cooler and a box like they use to sell beer at the stadium. Get some clean ice, lemons, sugar, and some LARGE cups. You'll also need one of those things you use to make orange juice from real oranges, ask your mom. When you've got all that, go around to all these local softball games during the hot part of the summer. Don't mix it too strong or use too much sugar! That's nasty. The reason for the BIG cups is that you want to charge a lot! Along about the fifth inning some of these guys would sell their mothers wedding ring for a big glass of something cold; especially if they were out drinking the night before! Good Luck! I love to see young people with ambition. You are tomorrow's leaders.
