Andrew’s first business was in sixth grade. He and a buddy figured out the mechanical pencils make great rocket launcher. After they started handing out advertisements the school banned the pencil launchers. In 2005 Andrew dropped out of high school and started several websites. He was just barely making it when he started making “bank” off of his site MySpaceSupport.com. He started getting checks of upwards of $100,000 a month. It took Andrew only one year to loose $2.5 million. After he realized his previews mistakes he has set knew goals. Andrew started another site, BeModel.com. BeModel.com markets to models of all kind. It is a take on Facebook but it is only for models and photographers. Andrew learned his lesson and has started a retirement fund and now invests his money in real estate and stocks.

Quite the interesting life story and business idea. Sounds like he was humbled by the experience and definitely grew as an individual as well as a business man.
This is a great story because it not only shows the success of a young entrepreneur, but it also shows the difficulty and responsibility that comes along with the immediate success. His story is a good lesson for those who are starting their own businesses and hopefully will prevent other young entrepreneurs from making the same mistakes that he did.
This is a great story because it sounds like he always had an inventive personality, but seemed to make some dumb mistakes. Once he learned how to handle his success and income, he had success and continues to do so.
Here we have a classic entrepreneur. One who learns from past business mistakes in order to be successful in the future.
I really think that this is probably the most interesting story of any that I have read so far and it is a great business. This guy definitely has aggressive entrepreneurial qualities.
