His Own Boss
Many teens mow lawns to earn some extra cash. When Matthew Millet was 12, he decided to turn his lawn-mowing chores into a full-time job.
With the help of cousins who worked for a landscaping company, Millet, now 18, bought a truck, a trailer and lawn-mowing equipment and began his own landscaping business.
“Being able to be your own boss is a great achievement,” said Millet, who recently graduated from Jordan High School.
Another accomplishment Millet can be proud of: winning a Young Entrepreneur Award presented by the National Federation of Independent Business and VISA USA.

Hey it’s not just for guys either. I earn a lot during the summer just mowing lawns. An ad in the paper goes a long way.
