I'm really interested in taxidermy and was wondering how hard it is to start your own business. Im only fifteen but have done a few mounts my self and really like it. My uncle owns a business and teaches me when he can.

It will NEVER be any easier for you than it is RIGHT NOW!
Go boy, go....RUN!
At your age, you don't even know what "hard" means yet.
I'm being truthful with you, and not trying to be condescending.
When life's responsibilities come down on you when you are older, it
will get MUCH harder to make the leap into your own business, so
do it now. You'll thank me for my candor later.
Now get to work.

He's saying DO IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
I second that. My son started a small printing business when he was still living at home - no other responsibilities. His first jobs he set up in the walkway between the house and garage. As his business grew he took over half of my 2-car garage. Then he took it all. Then he added a 10 x 32 portable building. Then he bought a 4000 sq ft commercial building and added another 4000 sq ft to it. Last he sold the business. Now he is starting his own taxidermy business at 35 years old with a wife and two kids. Now he has car payments, house payment, grass to mow, taxes to pay and all the normal middle class obligations. With his first business all his time was his. Now it's not. If you think taxidermy is something you want to do - what's to stop you from starting it now?

I thought this was even more amusing. Sometimes you gotta whack 'em with a stick to get their attention, but by God you gotta love 'em.
