Sean Belnick became an entrepreneur at the young age of fourteen. He is the mind behind the company of BizChair. He started his multi-million dollar company with an advertising budget of $500 and a web hosting budget of $100. With that small startup budget Belnick was able to create his website BizChair.com; an online store for business chairs. At a young age Belnick enjoyed selling on the internet via eBay. This source of enjoyment stemmed into an idea for an online business for office chairs that became a $50,000,000 company, which now offers other office and home furniture in addition to the office chairs. Belnick is an especially innovative entrepreneur, as he was able to create an incredible online business from an everyday piece of furniture. Chairs are not exactly new, so the fact that he was able create such an incredibly successful business is truly impressive, especially since he was only fourteen when he started out.
Interview Sean Belnick – Making $50,000,000 A Year Selling Business Chairs Online
The fact that he was so young, yet he was able to bring something of value to the market is incredible. Office chairs are often not thought about, but not surprisingly many readers of this blog are probably using one at this very moment! Good for Sean Belnick!
I love how his entrepreneurial mind set allowed him to be innovated in recreating a long time existing product. Also, with the small amount of money he used to start up and being successful in turning his business into a $50,000,000 worth is something truly impressive.
Wow, that’s really interesting! I find it fascinating how he was able to make a successful business out of a product without much differentiation or change within the industry. That’s particularly impressive, as it would likely require the company to perform its function almost flawlessly, which seems to be the case. While most entrepreneurs this young seem to succeed through a novelty product, Sean seems to have skillfully executed this masterpiece of a business.
This is truly amazing. The idea of a 14 year old turning 600 dollars into a 50M dollar business is mind boggling. I am very impressed by this young man.
Although I am very impressed with the age this young man started this multi-million dollar business, I am more in awe of what his products were. When you think of office chairs, it is not something that would strike you as a successful business. But Sean used his entrepreneurial mindset to take his business to the top.
