James started woodworking with his dad as a kid in the small backyard shed. After years of side projects and a growing word-of-mouth buzz, James has begun to create some of the most beautiful hand-made acoustic guitars. He puts up a small online business site, and with his parents’ help, invests in a small workspace near his apartment. When a video featuring his friend, a really popular musician, playing his guitar goes viral, James finds his small business booming in a way he only dreamed of. As requests and new fans rush in, James knows he has to work hard to complete his orders and build on his new-found popularity, while also running a growing business.

James visits his nearby CIC store to pick up a Green Dot® Visa® debit card to track his business spending and customer shipments. He also grabs a quick money order to repay his parents’ faith in his talents. Through all the growing pains and pleasures, James’s CIC is there to help.
