as an 8 year old I started mowing lawns and getting paid. with some old hand push thing, (we are going back to late 50's more people wanted me to do theirs and so it grew.
By the time I turned 15 and ready to shaft school, I owned a 6x4 trailer, 5 push movers, an old Masport roller cut mower and paid other kids to mow the lawns, I didnt do any, I must have been paying well as I had a waiting list of future employees,
Dad would drop the trailer and gear off on a street, we would do the whole street and grass between footpath and road. Dad also got paid for his work,

Turned 15 sold it in 24 hours to another school kid and bought a '56 Ford V8 Pilot car Then went into corner grocery full time and sold cars part time.
