In the 5th grade my computer teacher strongly “suggested” to me that I put some of my abundant and sometimes misapplied energy to work by starting a business that would rent out computer games to other students.
Right around this time, Nintendo had just become popular and Blockbuster was still a few years off. So I recruited some friends and we each brought in all of our own Nintendo games and what few dollars we had to launch our business. We spent our lunches renting video games to other students from a small closet outside the cafeteria.
The business grew fast enough that we had to buy more games to keep up with demand and eventually we made enough money to buy an expensive piece of computer equipment that we donated to the school.
