Making money from butterflies

aw.jpg 

Anyone who knows me, will know i love butterflies and can name around 40 different types (and my mates mock me for this) so this is a inspiring story to hear how one man accepted a bet to start a business selling butterflies.

Jose Muñiz’s career began when a friend bet him $100 that he could not sell butterflies for a living. Now, seven years later, the former business consultant and his wife, Karen, own Amazing Butterflies, a live-butterfly distributor that generated $1 million in revenues in 2006. Though Muñiz is still waiting for his $100, he says that he has backed his way into a job that he loves. “I could never go back to consulting,” he says. “This is just too much fun.”
