In this video, Entrepreneur Network partner Jeff Rose explains how a 16-year-old with a lawnmowing business approached him to ask for investment tips. The teenager didn't have the sort of financial background Rose did, or even a ton of money to invest -- he only had about $500. Some people think this is not enough money even to start investing.
