An entrepreneur who has achieved high levels of success at an early age is Ricky Gutierrez. He was born on January 2, 1995 in Arizona. As a kid, he sold all kinds of small items to his friends and peers at school, which inspired Ricky’s gravitation to entrepreneurship. He attended Arizona State University for entrepreneurship and technology management. By the age of 20, he bought his own house. Ricky founded the company TechBud Solutions, which is a peer to peer groups that is designed to help motivated individuals stay connected and allows them to assist each other with their endeavors. He has also gained a large YouTube following of nearly 400k subscribers over the course of several years. This is where he shares advice about his expertise on penny stock investing, real estate, and even cryptocurrency. Ricky is a prime example that major success does not have to come later in life.
Ricky’s success is unique in that it did not necessarily come through a traditional entrepreneurial path. He became savvy in technology and stocks. As technology has taken a greater role in society, many new business ventures have opened up. Ricky found a way to be profitable in technology as it has become a path for entrepreneurial success.
I am glad a successful young entrepreneur he was able to stay humble and share his knowledge with others. I think its important that young people can see other young people doing things that we generally think we cannot do until we are older. Who knows, he might also be inspiring someone who can be in his network and help him grow.
Knowing that I am turning 20 in two months is overwhelming knowing that Ricky has bought his own house and created his own business by that time. It is a constant reminder for everyone that you are never to young to learn and follow a passion.
Its cool to see how many ventures Ricky was able to turn profitable in just 20 years of life. This was a very inspiring story of innovation though diversity of products and ventures both physical and online.
