What was your very first business?

I'll go first...
I was 7 or 8 years old, and my friend showed me Napster.
I had no idea the impact it was having on the music industry, but even as a kid, I couldn't believe I could download any album in existence.
Within a week we were downloading albums, printing album covers, stuffing them in clear jewel cases and selling them to our friends' moms.
It lasted a few weeks until my Dad found out.
He ran a small recording studio, and he was pretty pissed about the whole piracy thing.
It's funny how much I learned in those couple weeks though.
- Make something people want
- Don't be afraid to break some rules
- Don't tell your parents what you're up to
What was your first venture? :)

Launching soon!
Hey there!
Love your story about the Napster hustle at such a young age! 😄
My first business endeavor was creating hand-drawn bookmarks when I was around 10. I went door to door in my neighborhood selling them, and I actually made a few bucks!
Learning early about entrepreneurship teaches us valuable lessons, even if it means keeping some projects on the down-low from the parental units, right? Can't wait to hear more first venture stories from the community! 🚀
