7. The Robot Center
Tim, like any thirteen-year-old boy, was fascinated with the
exciting world of electronics. He especially dreamed of the possibility of
creating robots that could walk, talk, and wait on man hand and foot However,
Tim was more then a dreamer. Today at 18 he is proprietor of the Robot Center
a robot fantasy land equipped with robots he calls “probots,” and everything from
dump trucks and fighter plans that can be transformed to take on human looking
shapes, to talking bears and probots that can serve drinks at your pool warming
party.
Tim got his start at fourteen developing his own software
company. His hours at the computer began to pay off as he soon began writing
articles and software reviews for 13 periodicals and newspapers, He authored
his first book. The World Connection at age 16 and has written eleven other
books since.
Tim’s probot business produced sales of $150,000 within the
first nine months and he is optimistic about the future. Tim’s drive lies in
the desire to be his own boss, which sometimes presents problems to many young
entrepreneurs. According to Tim he feels like it’s a little person inside of
him that is out of touch with reality. This of course, has given him the
initiative to try things that the average 14 year-old might not try, such as
starting his own company. On the other hand, one drawback of being so
successful so early in life is that you can move so fast that you can easily
make mistakes. Tim has learned from his mistakes, and especially careful to
balance his drive with planning.
