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
This is pretty inspiring to all generations. It’s important to the older generations to not give up in with their innovation. It’s also important to the younger generations because they can realize that they aren’t too young to do make a difference in the world, to be creative, and pursue their entrepreneurial desires.
