Hello, my name is Steve. And yeah, you’ve probably seen me around here on Teen Money Making Ideas, as well as College Money Making Ideas, because I hang out on both sites a lot, even when you’re not looking. Heh.

I’m a writer for both blogs, just in case you were wondering. I’m eighteen. I love skateboards, and can drool about them for hours. They’re kinda the most amazing thing to happen in my life right now, aside from deciding that I want to be a full-time entrepreneur, of course. My latest goal so far is to earn enough money so I can buy this, and this, and THESE if they exist somehow, in this world. You can never have too many skateboards in this life.

I’m kidding. Maybe one too many is too much. Heh. Still – it’s free to dream. And here in Teen Money Making Ideas, we do a lot of dreaming and wanting and planning, if I do say so myself. Which is excellent. Which is absolutely awesome, if you ask me.

And it’s probably common knowledge by now, and I do admit I sound like a broken record, but aside from zombies, skateboards, action movies and music, I do love me some money making ways. I love being creative more so, earning money out of it is just a plus. My dad thinks I got the entrepreneur gene from him because he’s a chef, and chefs are known to be innovators and adventurers when it comes to the world of food. However, my mom thinks I got the entrepreneur gene from her because she’s a writer, and writers are the most imaginative people on earth, I would gather, and they’re a creative bunch, too.

Whenever this argument would insert itself in little family discussions around the table, here’s what I have to say: I love food, and I experiment with it when I have the time (peanut butter and mustard sandwich, anyone? My mom, by this time, is already choking up with disgust), so thanks Dad. I also love writing, and I fill up notebooks with my inane observations of life and what-if situations (what if humans were born without elbows? My dad, by this time, is already pretending to snore out of boredom), so thanks Mom. But being entrepreneur – and I would stress this with an emphatic shake of my head, for all its dread-locked glory – is not just from one person alone.

I would like to think I got it both from them, as well as my sisters and my grandparents. I was taught about the value of being creative from an early age by observing my parents, and I learned about the value of money by the long lectures of my grandparents. My sisters, meanwhile, always cheered me on to do what I want to do. So yes, I do think I got the entrepreneur gene, more so than the rest of my family.

I would like to connect with everyone here who has a business idea, or who wants to be an entrepreneur, or who just wants a job to keep them financially secure. We can talk, be friends, get into arguments (lively, but peaceful ones, I hope!) or just come up with ideas on how to be a better at managing our own businesses. I post motivational articles from time to time to help keep our spirits up, and I’m working with the other writers here on the site to come up with more write-ups that you guys will enjoy reading.

Elsewhere, you can also find me networking and making friends at the following places:
