I operate a seasonal firewood delivery business serving high-income households in Atlanta, Georgia. By targeting this market segment, I’ve been able to command prices more than 15% higher than average. Although I face competition from larger corporations, I differentiate my service by offering lower prices and faster, more convenient customer service. During my most successful season, I delivered to over 25 households—many of them repeat customers.

I co-founded and annually operated a two-week summer sports and games camp for elementary school children in Atlanta, Georgia. Alongside three peers, I helped grow the camp each year—eventually serving over 50 children and managing daily attendance of up to 40 participants. We began by reaching out to families in our neighborhood, focusing on children within our target age group. I was responsible for organizing and executing a unique, structured schedule of activities each day, ensuring both engagement and safety. In addition to program planning, I coordinated transportation for campers, addressed parent concerns, and helped recruit and manage a team of secondary counselors, whom we hired and paid hourly. By our final year, the camp had evolved into a well-run operation that exceeded all our expectations, both in scale and impact.
