Business
I started my first business at 12 years old. 

Electronics
My IPhone and IPad mini are the neatest gadgets and I use them all the time. The other thing I can't live without is my Blackberry. There is something about having more than one phone especially one with a full keyboard that I just can't go without. Odd? Yes! Extremely productive? Absolutely!

Reading 
The feel of the different paper in my hands, but most of all the smell of the ink. There is something about the latest magazine when you get it in the mail its like a new car, unopened, untouched and has that distinctive smell. Awesome!  

Internet Browsing
Stumble Upon is a great business resource and also a way to explore things that you would not normally search for. It's an amazing way to expand your horizons and think outside of the box.
