One of the first ones was a pet sitting business where we'd get paid $10 a day to go to someone's house and let their pets out and water the plants and all that.

$10 each time we went over.

So sometimes it was $20 a day, which was...

Fantastic money.

I got into woodworking.

My family always made things.

My dad built the house we grew up in.

We had a little wood shop.

And so I'd make these wood carvings and sell them door to door or at craft fairs.

And that made even better money.

And things didn't really take off until I got into web design a few years later.

But those were some of the early ventures.

Well, there were two pivotal moments for me in homeschooling.

So first, I have three older siblings.

My mom homeschooled all of us, and she really figured out the system and the curriculum and all of that with my older siblings.

And one of the best things about homeschooling, maybe two great things about it,

One is it's really tailored to you as an individual.

So you're not waiting for an entire class or a class is not waiting for you.

If a subject takes you longer to figure out, that's fine.

You have time.
