How many of you have had a peanut butter jelly sand which in your life? Okay, I’m assuming that most of you said yes to that. Now how many of you got to experience sitting in the kitchen, watching your grandma crank out twenty jars of fresh made jam? Probably not as many of you can say yes to that. Fortunately, Fraser Doherty can. Doherty is the creator of SuperJam. He created this brand at the old age of 16. Most 16 year olds nowadays are caught up in video games or just living out their final years of high school. Doherty saw an opportunity of making jam 100% from fruit. This simple idea has generated millions of dollars as it has been commercialized and sold all over the world. But Fraser didn’t just take that money for himself. He decided he wanted to help better the world in other ways and has been donating a lot of that money to charity events such as setting up tea parties for elderly people. Because of his gracious acts, Prince Charles even awarded him the MBE for his services to businesses.
After establishing SuperJam, Doherty went on to create Beer52 which is now the worlds largest craft beer club in the world. He clearly has a knack for business and having success. After creating these businesses, he has wrote books and told his story over many countries through conferences. He shares his story to help other business owners and future owners to have the success that he has had.
Who knew that someone could start a million dollar business from something as simple as homemade jam. It seems a bit crazy but with a good mind filled with innovation, something that simple could change your life and give you a little more green in your pocket.
