Biography

CJ Dodaro

I am a semi-retired, 68 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.

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, 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 instruct you how to start and operate a business of your choice.

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

Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
I began writing professionally in 2016, when I started my first website: HelpMeFixHome.com. It is a website devoted to those interested in learning how to do various home repairs. I have a variety of blog posts that contain step-by-step instructions for completing those repairs, as well as where to purchase the materials and tools needed for completing each project.
What's the story behind your latest book?
I was 21 years old when I had the opportunity to purchase a portion of a Landscape business from the individual that I was working for. I remember how initially nervous I was, not having worked for the owner for very long, and unsure how to really operate a business.

However, the price was right, and the owner agreed to work side-by-side with me for the first year to teach me all the ropes. I couldn't pass up the opportunity. I eventually went on to build it into a great business that I successfully ran for more than 25 years.

Having said all of that, I realize that there are probably plenty of individuals out there that would love to own and run their own business, but just don't know where to start or are as equally nervous as I was. It is my intention to Pay-it-Forward with my series of eBooks on the subject, since I really appreciated the mentoring that I was given.
