My hypothyroidism makes me very tired and wanted to sleep early in the evening, sometimes as early as 7:30pm. However, when I am in my bed, sleep does not come easily. . Most nights I would spend at least 1 hour reading in my bed before sleep finally set in.

What are the stuffs I like to read before I go to sleep ? I love to read thrilling tales of entrepreneurs. Inevitably Inc. , Entrepreneurs, Smart money and many other business, investment related magazines become my sleep pills.

In fact, this post is dedicated to my blog friend Alvin Lim who wrote about Should you start your own business?.

I would most likely rephrase the question this way : If you were to start a small business , how would you go about doing it ?

I am inspired by this young man Jerome Boykin, Owner, JB Sweeping Service whom I read from Inc.com about How I Did It : Taking it out to the parking lot ?

I think most of us would laughed at the idea of “picking up trash” business ? But, before you laugh, do you know Jerome company make $45,000 a month ?

He has 9 Wal-Marts parking lots. And his next 2 years plan is to have his sweeping company : JB Sweeping in all the major cities of Louisiana and eventually expand outside of the state.

You can also read his story at houmatoday.com for his success story titled : Parking-lot sweeping business growing.
