Why Vending?

BACKGROUND

I'm a serial entrepreneur. I've always kept my eyes and ears to the ground for ways to make money. In fact, the last few days driving around my neighborhood post-hurricane Ike, I've racked my brain on how to profit from all the wood from blown over trees lying along side the road. I've been involved in MLM, I've sold stuff on Ebay and Amazon, I've tried a little bit of everything. My challenge has always been that working full-time in the corporate world very rarely lends itself to entrepreneurship. Because of my family life and corporate work schedule, I've always had to run businesses that required limited time commitment, limited startup cost, and had limited risk. In recent years I've also sought businesses that created passive income after reading Robert Kiyosaki's book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Dictionary.com defines passive income as

Earnings an individual derives from a rental property, limited partnership, or other enterprise in which he or she is not actively involved.
