One of the most successful and innovative young entrepreneurs I have ever heard of has ti be Daron Taylor. I first heard about Daron when I saw a video of him that had gone viral on Facebook. Daron is a young 14 year old boy who started his own lawn care business. He became a success very quickly and began to have customers all over his neighborhood. Some of these customers lived quite far away from Daron and he realized that carrying his lawnmower, weed wacker, leaf blower, and gas can such a far distance was very impractical. Daron then took his own money he had made from mowing lawns nearby and bought a nice bike. After purchasing the bike, he bought several pieces of wood from a hardware store and created his own makeshift trailer hitch. Finally, Daron bought a small trailer that could carry all of his equipment. This young man took his own time to create an easier way to reach more customers for his business. Daron also made an Instagram page to market his company “D’s Lawn Care”. Daron is an inspiration to young people everywhere showing that all it takes is a little hard work and some creativity to have success.
It is truly inspiring to see kids as young as Daron become entrepreneurs. It just goes to show that anyone can be successful if they put their mind to it and work hard.
There are some kids in my neighborhood who made a very similar (but probably not as successful) business. Lawn care is such a standard first attempt into the world of entrepreneurship as children, how cool of Daron to find innovative ways to improve his business.
I knew of a guy who did this once. He turned a small business like this into one where he made upwards of $60,000 over a regular summer. It’s really cool to see when kids are able to take something as simple as mowing lawns, and turn it into a successful business, truly inspiring!
