Why I am quitting my job!

A few months ago, I discovered a product at the Dollar Tree that's great for cleaning headlights. I joked with my kid client that we should start a business, stalking drivers in parking lots and cleaning their headlights for $40/pair. Later, I discovered that the same product is great for cleaning tires! Just spray it on and drive. Your tires will look all black and and shiny, like when you first bought them. I'd only charge maybe $20 per set. Heh. I don't know how I managed to drive my Nissan Xterra for 199,000 miles without cleaning the rims, but I did. And then, the other day, I discovered that the same product, used with paper towel or a rag and some elbow grease, is great for cleaning rims! After doing some due diligence, in various parking lots, I discovered that 33% of headlights need cleaning, 50% of tires look dirty and tired (no pun intended), and literally 67% of the rims I see look old and dingy. I have quit my college teaching job. I have quit my afternoon kid counseling job. I have even dropped my preschool teaching to two days a week. After three days of cleaning rims, I have made close to $1000! I charge $80 per set, and try to do four sets a day. Have you ever been an entrepreneur? Cha ching!
