Most of the customers that I had were people that did not do their own lawn maintenance and did not want to pay the expense for the professional lawn maintenance service. I thought that some of my customers were demanding for the service expected for the amount that they were paying.
However, it put money in my pocket to be able to engage in my summer activities.
After that, when I was in junior high (middle) school, I took on a paper route to earn some money. The only route that I was able to get was a route for the evincing newspaper in my area. There was a morning newspaper with routes available, however, the routes were large and required a motor vehicle to deliver them. I did not have a drivers license and had to settle for what I could do.
The evening newspaper was not very popular, most people preferred to get their newspaper in the morning.
At one point during the delivery of my newspapers, I was harassed by a neighborhood boy that was also steeling my newspapers that I had to pay for. This situation was resolved, however I was never able to attract enough customers to the route to make it worthwhile.
The newspaper eventually went out of business for lack of subscribers..

Great post! Its extremely impressive the direct link you make from entrepreneurship and tasked you have accomplished in your life. Its sad that as a young boy while you were trying to make money, people would accuse you of trying to steal their newspaper. Its great to see now in college you are continuing to become an entrepreneur and keep on studying.
