At the age of eight, this St. Louis, Missouri, boy founded Mikey’s Munchies Vending, a vending machine collection. That was just the start.

Wren, now 13, believes in giving back to the community by volunteering to teach financial literacy and organizing an annual toy drive for local children. He has also written two children’s books, Mikey Learns About Business, which covers writing a business plan, marketing strategies, and networking, and Biz Is a Whiz, which is aimed at children aged three to five. He frequently schedules speaking engagements to discuss his work.

Wren also serves on two national children’s boards. He distributed $10,000 in brand-new clothing to youth in his community.

Mikey Wren is not only the country’s youngest vending machine owner, but also the best-selling author of two children’s books. Mikey approached his parents at the age of ten with the idea of becoming an entrepreneur and owning his own vending machines. Mikey was tasked with developing a business plan and a strategy for raising the funds to purchase the first machine. Mikey’s Munchies Vending was born as a result of his accomplishment. Mikey is the author of two best-selling books: Mikey Knows Business and Mikey Learns About Business. He is a successful business owner, motivational speaker, and best-selling author.

Katelynn “Kiki” Hardee of Vista, Calif., was five years old when she decided that neither her classmates’ families nor the local schools should incur debt for school meals. She had discovered that her Vista Unified School District school had more than $600 in school lunch debt and that some students had to skip lunch because their parents couldn’t afford to pay for it. That was all unacceptable to Hardee.

Hardee began selling cookies and hot cocoa, as well as other fundraisers, to raise funds for what became known as Kiki’s Kindness Project. Hardee, now eight, eventually raised enough money to pay off the entire district’s lunch debt, totaling more than $7,000. Hardee’s ongoing efforts have raised more than $22,000, intending to raise $250,000 and inspire other children to help those in need.

Kiki recognized the value of personal connections as the company grew and began incorporating acts of kindness into her work. She would write handwritten notes to customers, give personalized gifts to those in need, and even deliver homemade meals to the sick or isolated.

Kiki has been able to make a difference in the lives of many people through her Kindness Project. She has received heartfelt thank-you letters and messages from those whose lives she has touched, and she has even inspired others to begin their acts of kindness.

Kiki’s message is straightforward: a little kindness goes a long way. Her company serves as a reminder that we all can make a positive difference in the world, one kind act at a time.

Projects that demonstrate an entrepreneur’s passion and personal touch are truly among the most unique and powerful ventures in the modern world of business and entrepreneurship. The ability to express yourself freely in the businesses you create is a huge factor in how people perceive your brand, and the Kindness Project is an excellent example of this.

Lily Born, age 16, is an internationally recognized inventor and entrepreneur who brought her first product to market when she was 10. Avoiding a spill is the best way to deal with it. That’s what inventor Lily Born had in mind when, at the age of eight, she noticed her Parkinson ‘s-affected grandfather frequently spilling his drinks, leaving her grandmother to clean up the mess. She was inspired to create a three-legged cup that will not tip over. Her Kangaroo Cup was ready for production after several years of prototyping, first with hand-moldable plastic and then with clay at a pottery studio. Born founded Imagiroo LLC after inventing the three-legged cup known as the Kangaroo cup that will not tip. Born and her father traveled to China’s ceramics capital, Jingdezhen, to perfect her design. They were able to refine the models, find a manufacturer, and plan for a production run of ceramic cups, which are also available in plastic. They also received financial assistance from the crowdfunding sites Kickstarter and Indiegogo. Born, now 16, has sold tens of thousands of Kangaroo cups worldwide and inspires other children who see the solution rather than the problem. Lily, 16, was in first grade when she realized she could make a positive difference in her grandfather’s life with a simple innovation. The spill-proof Kangaroo Cup went on to become an international success, selling tens of thousands of cups worldwide. Lily and her brand Imagiroo are now featured in media outlets all over the world, cementing her reputation as an innovator and entrepreneur. As a result, Lily demonstrates to young entrepreneurs everywhere that solving small local problems can have huge, beneficial results, as well as demonstrating the value of thinking big while starting small.  I love her story. When most people hear about invention most think of big things but her story shows that you can make an impact with something as little as Cups.

Kamaria Warren and her mother, graphic designer Shaunice Sasser, went shopping for birthday invites for her forthcoming party when she was seven. They discovered that no merchandise represented Brown and Black girls. Brown Girls Stationery was born as a result of a necessity.
Brown Ladies. “Brown Girls Stationery.”

That paved the way for the McDonough, Georgia, native to create party and school supplies, stationery, vegan purses, and female accessories. Warren also offers dolls and most of his products include a cheerful depiction of a Black or Brown female.

“Because of our unique images and offerings, we can make money while having an impact,” Warren, now 13, says of the company, which employs five people and has five volunteers. Her products are available on Shopify, Faire Marketplace, wholesale, and local events. Every year, Warren sells approximately 10,000 notebooks, 2,500 notepads, and 1,500 backpacks. She will offer 1,000 packs of party supplies, 1,000 new lip glosses, and a new purse with an affirmative message each month.

Warren says what motivates her is “seeing other girls wearing my stuff and being proud of who they are.” Dear Brown Girl, you have the power to alter the world, is her mantra.

Hart Main, then 13, came up with masculine scented candles after making fun of his sister’s girlie scented candles for a school fundraiser. Owns a Successful Candle Company.” It wasn’t until Hart set out to buy a $1,500 bike that he realized what he joked about. Hart and his parents contributed little sums to the start-up and collaborated to develop the candles, aptly titled ManCans. They are presently created by a developmentally impaired workforce at the Beaver Creek Candle Company in Lisbon, Ohio.

Over the past five years, ManCans candles have gone from being made in Main’s kitchen and sold to family and friends, to being made at Beaver Creek Candle Co. and sold in nearly 150 stores across the United States. ManCans also has donated thousands of dollars to soup kitchens. To date, Main’s company has given 100,000 cans of soup and $35,000 to 25 soup kitchens in four states.

And that’s not all. The recent New Philadelphia High School graduate has written a book, which was released last week. He co-authored the 90-page book with his father and reflects on starting his own business and offers insight to youngsters looking to achieve a similar goal.

Looking back, Main, now 17, said he never anticipated his company would grow like it did: “My goal was to buy the bike, then be done with it.”
