CJ Dodaro

I am a semi-retired, 67 year young man, who has worked very hard my whole life. Although I have occasionally worked for other companies, I have been an entrepreneur since I was a young boy.

I starting out selling things door to door when I was around 10 years old; seeds, greeting cards, and wrapping paper for all occasions. After a couple of years, I graduated to lemonade/kool-aid stands, washing cars and cutting neighbor's lawns. I did just about anything to make a few bucks.

When I graduated from high school, I did not really know what I wanted to do for a career, so I went to auto mechanics school to learn a trade. I figured that even if it was not what I eventually wanted for a life-long career, it would be a skill that would always come in handy. After graduating from the trade school, I worked in the auto repair industry for only a couple of years. While I enjoyed the work, I quickly got tired of smelling like grease and oil every day, yet I continued working on cars as a hobby.

I went to work for a landscaper, who after the 1st year of my employment, decided to sell me a portion of his business, along with agreeing to work with me for a year in order to teach me all of the ropes. I went on to build this business into a successful full service landscape company which I owned and operated successfully for over 25 years.

Variety being the spice of life, I have owned and operated many successful businesses during my lifetime, many of which I started from scratch; a full service landscape company, a soup and sandwich restaurant, and a gas station and body shop. I also had a three-piece 50s & 60s rock & roll band which was a lot of fun for many years.

I have also owned and operated several online businesses; a couple of e-commerce stores, and currently operate a website: ImprovingAmericaLLC.com where I provide help on creating and operating your own business.

My hobbies are: stamp collecting, playing guitar, and home repairs.

I also have plans to start a Charity, possibly an MLM website, as well as write some additional eBooks. If any of these interest you, drop me an email, and I will keep you apprised of their creation: cjdodaro@att.net
