Hello I am Jonathan, I am 16 years old i will be 17 in april on the 28. I have always wanted to be my own boss early this year i threw out my idea of owning a company but now im in the hole before i had the chance to jump over it. I have a pregnant fiance whos also 16 and we love each other and wanna spend our lives together and raise our baby together. But i do not wanna rely on my fiance's grandmother, she does to much for us already and is supporting our choice to keep our baby. Thats my life heres my issue.
I wanna give my kid a better life than my fiances or mine so i am starting my reshearch again so i can be my own boss always be home for my baby and my future wife :D. I am looking for someone to lend me a helping hand in reshearch and ideas and help with my questions. I know the industry is steep and very full but its grosses 300 Billion a year. I want my chunk of that.
I would like for someone who can take sometime and email back and forth over the next yearr and two months to answere questions , disscus ideas, help with setting up a business plan, and help set the stepping stones of a long long road to travel.
Please even if you can just give words to inspire me to push on to become more and more ill make it worth your time in the end i promise

Glad to see a youngster wanting to do right. I've been in trucking for almost
13 years. I've drove for 11 years, I've ran a shop, dispatched and I'm a
safety director. I'll advise you as much as i can

Congratulations on your desire to take care of your future family. Now for a
dose of reality - until you are of legal age, you cannot enter into contracts
without the assistance of an adult. Therefore, you would not be able to
purchase a truck or sign contracts for loads at your age. I would suggest
that you meet with a counselor at a small business development center or a
SCORE office. Their services are free and they can recommend ways to get
started on your dream.

This is not the appropriate site to seek an email mentor or friend. A
counselor at a small business development center or SCORE office may be able
to put you in contact with someone in your area who is willing to act as a
mentor and perhaps even provide part-time employment as you learn.
