Attention all men, I have a question for you. Have you ever felt like your personality has been restricted by the professional clothes you wear? When it is the time to suit up, do you feel like you look like every other man putting on a suit? I would like to introduce to you Moziah Bridges, the designer of Mo’s Bows.

Moziah had always appreciated good taste in clothing, even at a young age. Before he was 10 years old he would casually wear a suit and tie around his neighborhood. He found the uniqueness of suits alluring, though Moziah wasn’t completely satisfied. He could never find the right tie, or bow tie to match his outfit. He went to his grandmother, learned how to sew, and that led to the beginning of Mo’s Bows.

Mo’s Bows is a company that designs any bow tie in whatever fabric, color, style you would like. He has made over $700,000 in sales, appeared on the famous Shark Tank, and signed onto a one year contract with the NBA to make specialized bow ties for basketball teams.

Moziah has demonstrated true qualities of an entrepreneur, or a ‘kidpreneur’. He started with something he was passionate about and found a pain that he wasn’t comfortable with. He then moved to the next step and sought out a solution for that pain. Moziah then shared what he cared. He was determined to make an impact on the world. Moziah has mentioned of

I am inspired to find what makes me smile and learn to make it better. I especially liked how big Moziah’s idea grew. I do not think the goal was to be known worldwide, but look how far a nine year old boy can go.

When one looks in the mirror, what does one see? A child, a business individual, a person who has the chance to make a difference? Zachary Weisenthal saw a boy who was fascinated with web design and computers. Weisenthal grew up like any other child shoveling snow and pet sitting for the neighbors. It was not until he accompanied his father at an entrepreneurial weekend event did a sudden spark of interest happen. Weisenthal already interested in computers and web design, but this opportunity opened up a whole new future for him. He was introduced to the technology WordPress and not long after became a master of the app and set out to start his business. With his previous set in skills of time management, communication, and determination from his childhood jobs Weisenthal set work onto becoming one of the youngest, most successful business people in the world. Zach Weisenthal is know the proud owner of Zach’s Web Designs, building websites for non-profit organizations, jewelers, racecar drivers, etc.

Weisenthal was able to show the world that one does not need money or a big idea to become great, only the opportunity. If the opportunity is presented to you, grab it, and see where it takes you. Of coarse growing a successful business does not happen on it own, it takes time and energy. Another key factor to becoming successful is to be passionate about what you are doing. If you do not find what you are perusing to be interesting to you then it is going to be an uphill battle for you.

Weisenthal suggests on taking risks. How else will you go far if you act like everybody else.

It is safe to say we all have heard that we will never have to work a day in our life if we love what we do. George Matus took those words to heart and did just that. At the age of 12, while everyone else was hunched over on social media, he built a flying quadcopter. For those who do no know what a quadcopter is, a quadcopter is a mini helicopter with 4 rotors. He had a passion for drones and fast flying technology. Matus flew everything that the drone companies made, and he was confronted with multiple problems with how restrictive the technology was. At that age of 16 he became an entrepreneur, whether he knew it or not, and decided to invent a drone that met his standards. He saw a problem and decided to do something about it, a great demonstration of what every entrepreneur some day hopes to do. Matus is the CEO of his own drone company, and had not even graduated yet. He has big goals for his business and plans on growing and expanding what other possibilities he can do. Matus says ,”The advice I would give to young entrepreneurs is to really find what interests you, and then it doesn’t feel like work.”
