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!
