I would search peoples yards for golf balls, sometimes it would get me chased by a yelling owner, who knew what I was after, Other times I would have permission to be searching in their yards.. I would place the golf balls in egg cartons and haul ass to school with my back pack full and I would start selling balls as soon as I got out of school.

Eventually I started selling sodas for $1.00 a pop to the golfers, I have a strong memory of one day that a golfer told me "Why would I pay $1.00 for a soda when I can get a soda at the pro shop for 50 cents?" My reply to him was "Well sir, you can go ahead and walk back to the pro shop in this summer heat and get yourself a soda for 50 cents or you can buy one from me and get it now!" He came over and bought two sodas from me, and he told me that he had a feeling that one day you will be a good entrepreneur!
