Hi!  I am Lyle, the ‘adult’ of the group.  I am a minister and have worked with teens for a little over twenty years . . . ever since I was a teen.

I was always looking for ways to make money.  I even sold candy bars and suckers at school so I could pay for my graduation.  I sold things. I did drawings for people.  I did grunt work: raking leaves, cleaning up dog pooh.  I was a hard worker.

My first job was when I was eleven.  I washed dishes at a restaurant where my Mom worked.  At thirteen, I helped during the summer cleaning up the schools to get them ready for the new school year.  I have a lot of energy (ADHD?) so I put it to good use and was always doing something.

I could go on, but you don’t want to hear all my stories.  You want to learn about business.  Well, I have had mutliple businesses and have only lost money on a few of them.  I have done things from selling encyclopedias to owning a restaurant with my wife.

I created this site with my teen friends: Nat, Robert and Tyler.  They wanted to know how to make money and I said, “Let’s learn as a group.  We can take this journey together and share it so other teens can know how to make money.”

 This site is for all those teens who think they can never do more because of where they are from, their family or whatever else is holding them back.  I am here to tell you you can be a success.  God created humans to have a relationship with him and ‘rule’ the earth.  How can we rule if we fail?
