Cub Scout’s Lawn Mowing Empire
It may seem a bit old-fashioned, but one 11-year-old Cub Scout is financing his new dreams by turning into a lawn-mowing mogul.
Despite his age, Bill Breitenstein seems beyond his years and hasn’t gone by “Billy” since kindergarten. Now, he’s going into sixth grade and was yearning for a new mountain bike. So, his father told him about mowing lawns as a kid, and Bill revived the biz.
“I found this mower in my grandpa’s shed. We bought a gas tank and some gas — and we’re ready to go,” Breitenstein said.
Thus, Breitenstein became an 11-year-old entrepreneur.
How’d he get started, you ask? With door-to-door flyers. “I went to Clip Art and typed in ‘lawn mowers’ and found a picture,” he explained.

When I was a Freshman in high school, I knew a guy who did the exact same thing. He ended up creating quite the lawn mowing business for himself, too. He was around 13/14 at the time I knew him, but he had started the business well before I met him. This kid is another version of him. Before you know it, he will be bringing in friends to help him keep up with the lawns.
