million dollar revenue producing business? Simply seeing a sizable opportunity and seizing the moment. At age 15, Robert, like any young boy on

his parents he turned his hobby – a hands – off observant interest in cares –
into a million dollar business.Borrowing $1, 500 from his parents, Robert

trust their business to a teen-ager, so I had to use some extra tactics,” he
