I remember when I was young, I was watching TV, and my father came into the room, agitated, and told me to start a business. I was eight years old.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I ran my own business when I was 19, buying condos and renovating apartment buildings.
When I was 18, and when I entered my family business, I soon realised that it wasn't as easy as I thought. I had to deal with people of my father's generation. Building trust was key to doing business.
When I was 13, I opened my own business called The Awesome Pretzel Company, and my dad helped me build a pretzel cart.
My first job ever was selling balloons with my brother at parades when I was about six years old. My father wanted us to learn about money, how to make it, save it, spend it, etc.
As the years passed, and I was nine, 10, 11 years old, it became obvious I was going to start up a business of some sort.
I started my first business at 14!
I wanted to build businesses from the time I was little.
You know, my parents had a restaurant. And I left home, actually, in 1949, when I was 13 years old, to go into apprenticeship. And actually when I left home, home was a restaurant - like I said, my mother was a chef. So I can't remember any time in my life, from age 5, 6, that I wasn't in a kitchen.
I was 18 when I got my first TV job.
I was raised to work for my father when I was four.
