Hey, folks. Today Anna want to share with you her story how she earned her first fortune in 16, selling her mother’s cacti.
“I was born in a wealthy family. My dad had his own business, so we were never short of money. We lived in a big beautiful house. My mom could spend her whole time with me. She also had a hobby. My dad built for my mom a gorgeous greenhouse right in our mansion. She grew different kinds of cacti and flowers there.
Anyway, we lived happily together. I was doing kids stuff. I visited various classes and courses. I had everything I wanted. Of course, things were not always okie-dokey, as sometimes my dad had very tough business affairs. Some guys threatened our family several times. They even tried to kidnap me, but luckily nothing terrible had happened. Until I was 16.
My mother, who had never worked a day in her life, started to look for a job. She had a degree in Economics, but she had no experience. So she could only become a cashier in a supermarket. We were not just short of money…. we couldn’t make both ends meet. We spent our last money savings to organise my dad’s funeral.
The only option for us not to starve was to sell the house. We could not afford to keep a three-storey mansion. It took almost all my mother’s salary. But my mother didn’t want to lose her greenhouse. She spent all her free time with the flowers, as if it could somehow help us to survive. I inherited my dad’s character so I wanted some action instead of coddling with the plants.
My mother didn’t notice the loss of some cacti at first, but as my business was expanding, she began to suspect something. I pretended I was madly in love with plants and asked her to give me a place in the garden for the experiments. Of course, she agreed. She also gave me some seeds when I asked. I was lying that the plants didn’t grow. Practically, I was selling my plants on the Internet.
Mom offered to expand our range with the fresh flowers, florariums and even mini-farms! The idea seemed very profitable to me. We grew so much we even had to build a few more greenhouses. We couldn’t cope with all the work as the demand was constantly increasing.
I am 18 now. I have two flower shops, my own website and a lot of regular customers. What was once just a desire to survive has become the work of my life. It brings a stable income and pleases my mother. By the way, she overcame her fears. Now she even posts on our website blog telling people about the plants and the care. We hired people to work in the greenhouses, so now she can breed rare species again”.

I EARNED $10,000 when I was SECRETLY selling my mom’s CACTI
