A 7-year-old boy initiated a neighborhood recycling service, demonstrating that entrepreneurship transcends age. He built the business independently with minimal assistance, gaining confidence through door-to-door interaction. Each 'yes' reinforced his determination, while 'no' offered lessons in resilience. Over time, he expanded his entrepreneurial efforts into various services, learning essential skills like handling rejection and managing operations. His family's role focused on support rather than pressure, allowing him the freedom to explore and develop new ideas, ultimately teaching him self-sufficiency and adaptability.
He took initiative and built something on his own; it reminded me entrepreneurship isn't about age.
Watching him pause at each door and then start talking, I saw his confidence grow with every neighbor.
From tracking inventory to handling rejection to learning how to follow through, his business taught him so much more than how to make money.
These businesses haven't been about us pushing him. They've been about supporting his ideas and giving him the freedom to learn, try, and grow.
