The year was 1986, and I had just been caught dealing in drugs. I was thirteen. It was my first small business that I can really remember. I discovered that drug dealing is actually quite profitable, but also somewhat risky. The drugs I sold were small pills that I got from the doctor to help me control my childhood asthma. There wasn’t a sudden outbreak of asthma in my school at the time but there was a demand for these pills as I discovered that they had an interesting side effect on me - they made you fart. To my 13 year old friends (the male ones of course), this was brilliant. They wanted some. I had the product, and they were willing to pay. So I sold them, for 20p each or 3 for 50p. It was going great, I got the pills on prescription so they were free and I took in the money. I didn’t think about supply issues further down the line (I just figured that the doctor would keep supplying them if I came up with enough excuses). Then one day a teacher caught me. The small business was over. It was a short career being a drug dealer. The really great thing though, was that it sparked something in me about business. I was hooked. So what’s your story?
