California Division |  | Lee Silber
San Diego County, CA
lee@leesilber.com
"If you have ever looked at your mailbox and wondered why you don't replace that weathered looking thing, then you would have been my best customer. When I was eleven years, old I started my first busines--repainting rusted old mailboxes to make them look like new again, all for five dollars. That summer, I made a tidy sum working when I wanted, doing something I loved. (I took great pride in refurbishing each and every mailbox to perfection.) This experience set me up for a future as an entrepreneur. Since I wasn't afraid of hard work--and was self-motivated enough to master sales, service, and self-promotion--I quickly realized this was the perfect career path for me. From that point forward I started and built several other businesses, but the first one will always be special--and maybe more so when you consider I had to ride my bike to connect with, and collect from customers." – Learn more | The Wild Idea Club, take this job and love it, beyond busy
