I have been doing quiet well with basic service businesses.
So anything from gardening to window cleaning or more advanced things like accountability services can do wonders for you.
Best part is that they don't take much money to start up and nobody will question your ability to do those things even though your young.

Hé Kerel

Wat tof van je dat jij nu al zo in het leven staat! Een tip: lees boeken, verslind ze......... Wordt op een vroege leeftijd wijs en pluk daar de vruchten van. Nu moet jij nog geen bedrijf starten, althans ik raadt het jou niet aan. Leer jezelf allemaal dingen aan. Verken alles wat er te verkennen valt, en dan.. dan moet je keihard gaan knallen, want ik garandeer je dat er mooie tijden komen. Niet blind in een strijd gaan.

Hey Luc,

Mooi om te zien dat je op deze leeftijd al goed bezig bent.

My advice is to get a job in sales. - I know you go to school, but you are off on saturdays. A lot of the succesful people I (personally) know started their first job as a salesperson.

I did the same myself and it gave me lots of really valuable experience. Companies I suggest applying are: Fieldstars (worked here and made bank compared to other 16/yo olds), pepperminds, fonky sales. Don’t fall for the goede doelen/charity sales because essentially it’s just begging people for money. Focus on selling real stuff. Try to be the best in the whole company.

Go to the gym. - You are quite young, so maybe you can wait a few years, but it’s important to feel fit and look good.

Enjoy life. - Be careful not to waste your young years away. You have plenty of time even though it might not feel like it.

Go for it my young man. I support you!

The problem with that is that i dont know WHAT business to start.

The problem is that you are not working hard right now.

There is no single answer, there is no single path, there is not 1 optimal business model.
Everything works - if you know how to do things.

Best course of action is to start immediately doing anything.
You will need to build a solid skillset and have a lot of experience to be able to create your own path forward. And the only way to get this experience is to do as many things as possible. I can almost guarantee that your first 10 attempts will not yield long term financial results, but will bring you a wealth of experience. Which means that your wisdom and capability will improve with each successive attempt.

You're very lucky to be in the game early.
You have 0 adult responsibilities, 0 adult problems, 0 massive failures or traumatic bankruptcies, but instead you have infinite time, energy, and a developing brain that can absorb knowledge and learn anything 10x faster than any adult on the planet.

Use those resources wisely. It won't be like this forever.
Let's get to work.

If you find a way to make $500+ in one day doing something that can be taught, and you teach someone else to do it as an employee, now you net a few hundred a day.

$250 x 21 working days in a month x 12 is 60k profit.

15M service business should make 4-5m a year, so that's like 70 crews @ 60k profit each.

Doable, just need a way to manage the work, manage the employees, manage the customers, give quotes easily. Just a handful of systems can get you that number.

Do you watch much YouTube? Our 10, 12, and 14 year olds do, and occasionally create little videos. How about creating YouTube shorts from long videos? Businesses pay for that service.

Hi Luc!
Nice to see other Dutch people on the forum as well (I like all cultures haha).
In the process now is more important to build skills.
Sales, finance, communication, etc.

@Henry Roe. had a good one with his idea.
In your case knowing what Iearned I would definitely pick a weekend street sales job.

Good luck to you!

Bang your neighbor's doors to help them with work around the house eg gardening, cleaning, going to the supermarket, or babysitting during the weekends. If you are not trolling also read here first!-->Rules for starting a business as a minor.
