15 Year Old Surfing Startup: Make Money in High School and Save for College

This is the story about a youth named Guy Baxter, his startup company Surfing Dojo, and how to make money in high school and save it for college.

Guy was raised in a sunny, carefree beach town in California, where most kids get new cars when they turn sixteen and go to college on their parents’ dime when they graduate high school. It was pretty much protocol for kids from his neighborhood, and for a long time it was safe to assume he would be on this exact same plan with the rest of his friends. But family turmoil, including his father’s heart surgeries and his parents’ divorce, changed all of that.

The financial setbacks that resulted from these unforeseen events meant that even though his family loved him very much, he wouldn’t be getting a car on his sixteenth birthday and he couldn’t count on his parents paying his way through college. All of a sudden he felt the weight of some serious financial responsibility. He was going to need to make a lot of money in high school if he wanted to enter college at the same time as his friends. So the first thing he started doing was researching jobs for 15 year olds.

It was slow going at first, but then he came across Youthstartup.com. He learned about how simple it is to start your own business. He learned the ins and outs basic website building, choosing a domain name, building the site, and how to reach customers. After working with Youthstartup.com he wasn’t about to settle on washing dishes for minimum wage!

Even though he was still in his youth he had a desire to make a startup business, so he started brainstorming, got creative, and came up with the idea for Surfing Dojo. Guy had always been really into competitive surfing, so he figured why not get into coaching the younger kids around town and helping them improve their surfing. And that’s exactly what he has been doing and his business is now thriving! Surfing Dojo offers after school surf coaching, video shooting and review, and even tutoring in many school subjects. He gets a lot of his business from visitors to his website, surfingdojo.com.

Guy now makes hundreds of dollars every month, while working minimal hours after school a couple times per week! He is a successful 16 year old entrepreneur with a college fund that grows more and more every day and is looking at buying a used car in the near future. His recommendation is that every kid, every youth, every high school or college student looking to make some good money while their young, use Youthstartup.com to help you get started.
