Micheal Wren, a 10-year-old boy from Sanit Louis has a loving heart for his community. He started his entrepreneurial endeavors by opening up a business called Mickey’s Munchies Vending which would only be the start. Micheal, now 13 helps out his community in many different ways. He teaches classes about financial literacy and hosts annual toy drives for other kids in his community. Not only is he an entrepreneur but an author! He has written two books; Mikey Learns About Business and Biz is a Whiz. Mikey Learns About Business is about teaching kids how to create a business plan, make marketing strategies, and how to network. Biz Is a Whiz is about the same topics but marketed towards younger kids. In total, he has donated 10,000 dollars’ worth of clothing to kids in his community as well. Micheal is a prime example of an entrepreneur who gives back to the community, at such a young age as well. He by doing, this will foster a healthy community around his company and improve the living standard of it overall. I personally find it a huge inspiration that a boy this young boy can have such an impact on his community.  Even though he might not make the most money from his vending machine business he still gives back to the community in many different ways. Overall, I find that Micheal Wren a huge inspiration for me and for those who want to give back to their community but don’t know how to.

At the age of 3 Ryan Hickman did not like seeing bottles and containers litter the ground. Because of that, he started collecting the family trash and going with his dad to recycle it in the nearby Recycling plant. His endeavors would grow from there and he would even start recycling the neighbor’s trash as well. Eventually, this would grow into a business in Orange County called Ryan’s Recycling Company. Due to the youngster’s entrepreneurial spirit, he was gaining wide critical acclaim. He has been interviewed by CNN, Ellen, and Today. He even sells merchandise that goes straight to Charity. However, Hickman has not stopped and is continuing to grow and develop new businesses, for example, his newest one, Project 3R. Project 3R is a nonprofit organization that is based on educating people of all ages about recycling and how it can protect the environment. Having a solution to a problem is a cornerstone of entrepreneurship and Hickman hit it out of the ballpark. He not only is helping solve the problem but is innovating other solutions as well, as shown with Project 3R. I see this as a huge inspiration for me the fact that he was still a kid when starting this out and now has made a very successful business. It’s also inspirating by how he started with no idea really at all and at first, he just wanted to help clean up. The key takeaway from this is that innovating on a problem can lead to huge success as an entrepreneur.

From an idea that was made fun of to an actual business idea. Hart Main A 13-year-old boy would make fun of his sister’s candles for being too girly. However, he would reconsider when he wanted to buy a bike for 1,500. At first only his parents would give money to the up-and-coming business called ManCans. Later on, however, they would be sold in every state in the US and routinely bring in six figures. They would have a wide range of smells, focusing on men in particular. Smells like bacon, fresh-cut grass, and grandpa’s pipe are only a few of the total selections. The entrepreneurial spirit to turn an idea that at first, you hated/made of fun into an actually profitable one is crazy to think about. From an idea as small as buying a new bike this idea of a candle business catered to man is astonishing. On top of that ManCan does not only make a good amount of money but is working for a good cause. ManCan employs people with a workforce that is worked by people who are developmentally disabled. On top of that, a large sum of its profits goes to soap kitchens in Ohio and Pennsylvania. I think it’s important to take a lesson from this that one can always give back to the community. It brings value to the people with disabilities and to the company itself. Overall, the business is a good source of inspiration for all younger people by the fact that even a young boy who at first thought the idea was dumb could make a very successful business

Making a business out of a passion, especially a family passion is something very special. At the age of 14 Fraser Doherty started making his grandma’s family recipe jam and would start a whole jam business out of it. In the beginning, however, he had nothing but his grandma’s recipes, jam, and a whole lot of determination. He would start off by selling his jam door to door gaining a small profit and feedback. However, people really started to take a liking to his jam and more orders would start coming in, to the point where he had to drop out of school just to meet the demand.  Later on, he would be approached by Waitrose, a British supermarket to put his jam on their selves. After that, Fraser’s jam would go international, gaining such fame that the Queen herself would bestow an MBE on him. From a very humble beginning to an international business is a very inspiring and influential example for many entrepreneurs. The whole idea is great, due to the fact that he took a family idea/recipe and turned it into a real business. One thing you can take away from Fraser is that even the most humble of beginnings, can turn your entire life into a new direcWho would have thought that jam could be so profitable!
