The kid selling CDs in the market.
I was thirteen, selling movies, CDs, and games at the local market. I did not know the word entrepreneur. I just knew I was making money. Then I discovered the internet, and that you could build websites that sold things while you slept.
At fourteen I scraped together thirty dollars, bought a weight loss ebook from an old digital forum, and put it online. I taught myself SEO by trial and error because I had to. That site was my first real online income. When someone offered me three thousand dollars for it, I sold. At that age, in Romania, that was more money than my parents earned in months.
"I barely had a way to pay the thirty dollars. I figured it out."
