Read about how JuniorBiz started as a class-project.

Nick Tart

Captain of the Ship

Nick Tart is a 22 year-old senior at Colorado State University living in fabulous Fort Collins, CO.

Nick’s entrepreneurial journey started when he was 12 years old with a 2 1/2 hour lawn mowing escapade. This one lawn turned into a few per week and he was hooked! After running a semi-successful lawn service for 6 years, Nick enrolled at CSU to learn more about his passion for business.

Through his education at CSU Nick realized he didn’t know as much about business as he thought. Had he known everything he learned at CSU, he could’ve ran a much more successful lawn mowing service. As part of the Entrepreneurship Program, Nick developed an idea for a business that teaches about business. And JuniorBiz was born.

Nick registered JuniorBiz, LLC  in February 2009 and published the Official JuniorBiz Lawn Mowing Guide in April 2009.

People have said a few nice things about Nick:

• Today @ Colorado State – A serious business man
• Junior Achievement – July 2009 Volunteer Spotlight
• Larimer County Business & Enterprise – Youth in Business

Nick’s quotes:

“Everyone is lazy. Those who are the least lazy are the most successful.”

“When you get a job, you exchange time for money. When you start a business, you exchange effort for money. I think my effort is worth more than my time.”

“Starting a business often involves weeks, months, years of hard work and fruitless labor. If you don’t enjoy that work, if you don’t passionately love that work, you’re not going to finish it.”

“What do you think about when you daydream? That’s your passion.”

Nick Scheidies

First Mate

Nick Scheidies is a 21 year old Colorado State Alumn who became my editor while living in exotic Costa Rica.

Now he resides in Longmont, CO and we are writing a book together. It’ll be a collection of interviews from 50 of the most successful young entrepreneurs on the planet. I’m doing the interviews and he’s doing the writing.

Since graduating he has become a professional editor and I’m happy to have him here. If you would like to hire him, you’ll find his info on the contact page.

He is a smart cookie. One of the smartest in the entire cookie jar.

Nick’s quote:

“You say ‘work’. I say ‘work it’.”
