About Flip-N-Ricky
Follow along as we document the journey of a teenage entrepreneur.

Hi, my name is Ricky. I'm 13 years old, and I'm on a mission to make my grandpa a millionaire before his 73rd birthday.

How This Started

A week ago, I had no plans to start a business. I was just a kid in school who plays sports. But two things happened that changed everything:

First, I negotiated a 45% discount on a sweatshirt at my sister's travel event. The vendor called me "a great negotiator." A seed was planted.

Then, at my grandpa's 72nd birthday party, he asked me to help sell his boat. I asked if I could keep any profit above his asking price. He said yes. Another seed was planted.

Here is his boat:

Grandpa's Boat

My teacher asked: "Why don't you see if you can turn this into a million dollar business by the time your grandpa turns 73?"

So here we are. Flip-N-Ricky was born.

The Mission

Started by selling my grandpa's boat for profit. Now we're evolving into something bigger: helping others sell their stuff, flipping products we find, and teaching other teens how to build their own businesses. The goal? Turn $4,000 into one million dollars in 365 days while helping others do the same.

This isn't really about the money, though. My grandpa doesn't need a million dollars. I don't even know what I'd do with a million dollars.

This is about trying something new that scares me. This is about the journey.

  • 100% transparency. Every dollar spent, every attempt, every failure, every lesson
  • Daily journal entries documenting the progress
  • Learning in public so others can follow along

  • Me: 50%
  • My Teacher: 25% (for the instruction and help)
  • Grandpa: 25% (his money is the seed capital)

I'm excited. I'm nervous. I'm questioning whether this will work.

Let the journey begin.

Ricky
