Hello from Florida!

[garrettj]

I've been involved since i was around 13 in online business, starting with forming a hosting company with a buddy of mine... through time it failed. however we realized what went wrong and started over. Happened numerous times, however I am now proud to say that site has grown to around 1-2,000 a month in income since the beginning.

Lets fast forward to today, where I have since left the company to form my own, independent Design and Software Development Business. Its still in the process of being worked out, getting the money for the business registrations, Software Licenses, etc. But I have a small team of 6 Developers and all of us are hard working. I currently work as an Independent Contractor for FazeWire Web Services, LLC. You can find me in the tickets and in live chat!

So yes, 16 years old and developing a business to run as a career! Juggling school and work is tough, but rewarding in the end. I love what I do... I am currently attending High School and Dual Enrolled at the tech school for Electronic Business Enterprise. I plan on graduating High School, going to college, obtaining a degree in Computer Systems Technology, and becoming a Commissioned Officer of the United States Army.

Thanks for the site!
Garrett

In the beginning, very little, and hosting is still not his source of income... Its one of the more expensive startups, but is also rather easy... We never could get the setup right, but that is because he wanted to go cheap, and I wanted to go with a more proper and professional setup...

hey Garrett,
Yes a great plan indeed! How did you hear about TBF? What got you interested in doing business in the first place when you were 13?
