Jimmy Starbuck went to university for three months to study political science but quickly dropped out to make soap. Yes, soap.

After a fight with the boss's son, he quit to give driving "diggers," as the Australians say, a shot.

He bought his first machine three weeks later, a 2.5-tonne mini-excavator. How'd he afford it? With a car loan…

Fast-forward fifteen years, and Jimmy's company, Starbuck Excavation, has a large fleet of earthmoving machines and runs over 100 trucks daily around Melbourne.

I spent the day with him, driving around to various projects to get a feel for his glamorous lifestyle. We also visited his office and new yard.
