114 EXPERIENCE Here is KiteBuddy! I show you how a kite shop can be successful HERE IS KITEBUDDY! I SHOW YOU HOW A KITE SHOP CAN BE SUCCESSFUL Those who follow kitesurfing on the web quite likely already bumped into one of his hilarious videos.

I had less money than I use to have as an engineer, but I felt happier than before. I put all my money into this business, I sold everything I had before, and I had to move back to my parents' house sleeping on the couch. But I didn't put just my money into it, also my heart and soul. It was good and after two years I opened my
