How do you think he got his start-up funds?

He could sure sweet talk those old biddies while table dancing.

I used to build luxury powerboats - this one http://www.princessyachts.com/index.html#/en/flybridge/85MY/movie

I was a fit-out engineer which involved installing the wiring looms, pipes, engines, etc all the way through to the audio systems & lighting. Got laid off (with 399 others) in June and turned my Ebay hobby into a business. I'm looking for something part time at the moment, just to get me out of the house!
I'm a qualified electrician and Gas engineer so I've always got that to fall back on, but I love being my own boss.
Breaking free of Ebay (and mainly Paypal) is my next aim!

im 15 years old so not really any 'proper' jobs to talk about, i had a paper round when i was 14, then moved onto washing cars for £8 each. used to do around 5-15 cars a day.

i would class myself pretty good with electronics so i charge my parents friends for repair and what not if they require assistance.

i am now setting up my designer clothing business. this business like many is saturated so working hard on gaining skills and advice that would be helpful for my business.

I currently work at a Doctors Surgery, just maintaining the PC systems (which are pretty rubbish, working for the NHS really gives you an insight into how bad it is).

I am going to have to quit my job soon as my health has deteriorated quite a lot, this is why i am looking for a work at home job.

I have a rare kidney disease, and in my life have suffered seizures, had septicaemia, stopped breathing for about 5 minutes, had 2 courses of Chemotherapy.

Working from home would be ideal, as it hopefully will be less stressful (stress can cause relapses), and also mean i can work when im feeling well.

I hope to be able to earn enough money to support myself and also donate to the charity which is close to my heart (or my kidneys).

Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks for reading.

My first job was lifting glasses in a pub, which I started at 14 as a summer job. I went straight into construction at 17 as a 'chaser', started plastering a year later once I learned the trade I moved around a lot, lived in Boston, Florida all over Ireland.

In between when plastering jobs were hard to come by I've worked as barman, chef, binman, factory, selling insurance etc.

About five years ago, before my son was born I returned home (I met his mother in Daytona Beach, Florida) and started my own plastering company, did well for a few years and employed up to eight men. Went to the wall after been owed cash from a developer.

Started from scratch again. First job I got after the building came to a screeching halt was washing cars at a fuel station. It was a sobering experience, I was earning more in one day plastering at the height of the building boom than in six days washings cars, they then promoted me to the shop. A while later I was offered a job in a Bureau de Change in the same retail park. That was january this year, I'm now opening my own shop in the same retail park in around three weeks. I'll post the pictures of the opening on TWF of course.

I didn't write this post to big myself up, more to say when things go to utter **** you can start again.
