Willow Tufano

Willow Tufano amazes me. From a young age, Willow Tufano began making money, a good amount of money. She went around her neighborhood and took things out of people’s trash that she could sell. Eventually, Willow had made about $6,000. In Willow’s hometown, the recession had caused the price of houses to drop to $12,000. With the help of her mother, Willow decided to buy a house. She began to rent it out for $700 a month. She eventually made enough money to buy two more houses. While most kids her age were messing around, Willow was getting a head start on the them.

Zollipops

Alina Morse is a the creator of Zollipops. Zollipops are sugar-free lolliops that not only taste good but are also good for you. She came up with the idea when she was only 7 years old! She was offered a lollipop by a bank teller but her parents said no because, of course, candy is bad for your teeth. As a result, Alina sought to make a healthy lollipop. The ingredients for the Zollipops are xylitol, erythritol, stevia, and other natural sweeteners. These ingredients help to neutralize acidity in the mouth. By neutralizing acidity, bacteria cannot grow. Zollipops have already proven to be quite successful. She sells her products at Whole Foods, Amazon.com, and OfficeMax.com. She is attempting to get Zollipops in doctors’ and dentists’ offices as well. Eventually, she wants ten percent of her profits to go to hygiene programs in area schools. Alina took a common problem every one struggles with and made it into a successful business.
