Sean Belnick is an entrepreneurial genius. At just the age of 14 while attending pope high school he created a website that sold office furniture. The name of the company is Bizchair and Sean’s net worth is 42 million. The way that Sean got into this industry of selling products online all started with selling Pokemon cards on eBay. After he got a passion for this he put money into advertising and created the website himself at just 14 years of age. For a kid in high school to create a fully functioning website is truly spectacular. Even though he was young he still possessed so much ambition to sell things that he figured out how his father’s business ran and created a website off of that model. The reason why Sean’s business took off was because of how ahead he was in using the internet. He saw that it would be easier to sell things if they were out there for the whole world to see them.
In 2006 2o-year-old Sean was making 24 million dollars in revenue. Because of Sean’s ambition, he isn’t content with what he has. He wants to expand and expects his sales to be 50-54 million dollars in 2007. Sean was running a million-dollar company while attending college because he believed that he still had more to learn in the business field. He is also a boss of 75 employees at that time all of whom are older than him. Sean stated that he liked being younger than them because the working environment wasn’t as stressful and the employees came to him more often if they have ideas or concerns. Sean’s story really shows how ambition is a key trait to possess when becoming an entrepreneur. Without it, there would be no reason to try and make anything better than it is.
it is truly fascinating to hear about a young entrepreneur who at my age, was making millions. This goes to show us that it does not matter how old we are, but if we find a problem, and can figure out a practical way to solve this issue to produce profit, age simply does not matter. Sean is living proof of this!
This is a great example of someone that took advantage Of e-commerce before it really became popular. Running a multi-million dollar business at the age of 14 must have caused him to mature much faster than most at his age.
