12-year-old starts lawn care business in Mercer County, New Jersey
12-year-old James Gould always helped neighbors tidy up their lawns. But he figured the grass would be greener if he could turn it into a business.

HAMILTON TOWNSHIP, New Jersey (WPVI) -- 12-year-old James Gould is the big boss behind 'Cobra Lawn Care,' a family business that he runs with his parents and brother by his side.
