Mr. Cory’s Cookies

Have you ever watched the show The Profit? Then you may have heard of Cory Nieves, the creator of Mr. Cory’s Cookies. With the help of his mom, Lisa, Cory has made a very successful business selling cookies that have all-natural and higher quality made ingredients. His cookies are become very successful due to his ambition to create something unique, especially at such a young age. He started at age 6! Cory started selling hot cocoa as a start-up business to help his mom pay for a car so he wouldn’t have to ride this school bus anymore. That became successful among his local community in Englewood, New Jersey. Once his original goal was achieved, Cory expanded his products and market by selling lemonade and his now-famous cookies. He targets customers who have certain health-conscious lifestyles as well by including double dark, oatmeal raisin, and sugar cookies. Cory just wants to make the world happier and help his mom with payments as best he can.

Mr. Cory’s Cookies certainly took off causing Lisa and Cory to branch out and get their own building space, which brought Marcus into the picture. In addition to having Marcus Lemonis as their partner, they have been a part of Whole Foods, Macy’s, TOMS, Viacom, Pottery Barn, Barney’s, Bloomingdales, Ralph Lauren, Citibank, Aetna, Mercedes-Benz, Williams-Sonoma. They are also working with Bergen’s Promise in Rochelle Park, New Jersey, and the Children’s Aid Society in New York City.

His business is different from the others because of his ability to produce and ship, freshly baked and freshly made ingredients, cookies in the matter of a couple days. Also, he started his business at the age of six, with help from his mother, but regardless, that’s pretty incredible. Cory is driven to make an affordable life for him and his mom, including their home and even for his future college career. His business is great because he is supporting multiple people and Cory is also inspiring other students to go after it and accomplish greatness. With determination and the right resources incorporated with a new idea will get you places and can ultimately end in success. Cory and his mom have inspired me to fight for what I want to accomplish no matter the set backs or disaproving looks that you may receive. They have gone through many struggles, but persevierance is key. Entrepreneurship is what I believe I am being called to do, and stories such as this only confirm my plans.

The Pastry Chef

People have many ways to relieve their stress. A young girl named Gabrielle Williams found that her stress reliever was baking. Her stress was a result from bullying at a new school she started attending when she bowed her head in prayer before her meal. As she found that the baking would remove the bullying stress, she continued baking and trying new recipes from her grandmother. Her mother took her to women’s empowerment event where she encountered a young entrepreneur lady with the exact same name. The young lady’s last words were to “Dream Big” which gave Gabrielle the nudge to become a businesswoman.

Gabrielle went back to the kitchen and created a homemade frosting from scratch that was a hit, Chocolate Expresso Buttercream Frosting. After the frosting, she decided that she wanted to create her own business and in 2013 at the age of nine, Glorious Pastries by Gabrielle was born. The secret recipes are based on her grandmother’s and great grandmother’s recipes and some of the recipes she created on her own. The ingredients are all fresh and business emphasizes on the homemade goodness of the pastries. The pastry business was steady for several years, selling to friends and spread by word of mouth. Then in 2016, Glorious Pastries by Gabrielle was featured on the local news which expanded to ABC Good Morning America, Woman’s World Magazine, Washington Post, and many more. As her business’ fame grew, Gabrielle has had the opportunity to be a co-author to the book, The Science Behind It: Formulating Success at any Age and speak at several conventions about bullying and young entrepreneurs.

There are many challenges that Gabrielle must encounter. Responding to negative feedback and skepticism about a business run by a young girl can bring about the difficulty in running a business. There are times when business is slow and there was a time where no orders were placed for several months. Gabrielle felt discourage enough that she debated on closing the business. But shortly later, she received a large order. Throughout the challenges for the young businesswoman, Gabrielle enjoys baking and takes pride in her business.

Morgan Hipworth-Bistro Morgan

Morgan Hipworth was not just your ordinary playful kid at the age of seven, he was interested in cooking. He would watch Master Cheif Australia and he thought “If they can do it, so can I.” That inspired his idea of his first bake sale at the age of nine. In addition, Morgan would cook three-course meals every weekend for his family to try out new recipes that either he wanted to try or he came up with himself. Then, he began to bake cakes and other baked goods for his extended family and his close friends’ birthday parties. Now, at the age of 20, Morgan has established his own bakery, Bistro Morgan, in “Melbourne’s Windsor.” This business first started as a pop-up business only being open for eight days. That soon turned into a full-time business when he sold over 10,000 donuts in the span of those eight days.

What makes Morgan’s product unique is that he sells these exotic donuts including flavors such as Peppermint Crisp, Fruit Loops, Coco Pops, and even Cookies & Cream. He has strived to create a business that he loves and would want to do the rest of his life. He even dropped out of school and began this business full time because he was so passionate about fulfilling his dream. Morgan is driven by his ability to succeed in life and bringing joy to other people. He strived to become a young entrepreneur to show others, including his family, that he can make a name for himself. Morgan’s idea was a great one because of his use of trial and error with the pop-up business. It was a huge success so he pursued it further. In addition, he has marketed Bistro Morgan very well due to his 100,000 followers on Instagram and over half a million fans on TikTok. Also, when he was younger, he was asked to become a judge on Junior Master Cheif Australia due to his passion for baking.

He demonstrates the ambition to get things accomplished and not let other people characterize your life. he saw an opportunity and capitalized on it. Morgan is innovating due to his original passion for cooking, then he aspired to become excellent at baking. He achieved that and became a pretty successful, young, business owner. Morgan and his Bistro has inspired me to start young and innovate ideas where I see a need or a passion that I just want to pursue. Being able to start a business so it feels like I’m not working a day in my life, is my goal. I have learned to push though and make a name for myself and grow a business that helps other and makes them happy. That is my goal in life, to help people and have a successful time while doing it.

Makin Bacon Baby!

After Selling Millions, Family-Run Makin Bacon Battles Amazon CounterfeitersOne morning in 1993 an 8-year-old girl named Abbey Fleck and her dad were cooking bacon for breakfast. as she saw her dad’s struggle with all the bacon fat juice and cleaning it up with paper toils, she thought of an idea. What if there was a way to cook the bacon hanging as a dish of some sort collects the fat? That’s when Abbey and her father began to design what would eventually become the Makin’ Bacon dish. It’s a square, inch-deep skillet made of microwave-safe plastic. It has 3 T-shaped supports rising up from its center. The bacon cooks while draped over the crossbars of the central supports and the fat drips down into the dish.
Abbey’s solution and invention were not only an easier and healthier way to cook the bacon but it was also an inexpensive way. The dish itself only cost 7$. Knowing they had an amazing product Abbey and her father founded the company, A. de F. Ltd., and began selling Makin Bacon the next year. (1994) Since then the product has gotten tons of promotion from “Good Housekeeping” and they even negotiated a deal with Amour for the Makin Bacons packaging in the same year of release. Abbey even made a personal appearance on “The Late Night Show with David Letterman” and on “The Oprah Winfrey Show”.
Abbey has gained a lot of entrepreneurial experience since then. She settled a patent infringement suit against a company in Pennsylvania that had begun to sell a similar product of hers. She acquired a patent for her “microwave cooking machine” in 1996. Still only 11 years old at this point.
Today the Abbey Fleck’s Makin Bacon is available on Amazon and at Walmart. She got the offer from Wallmart to distribute her product fairly soon after her release.

She is an inspiration to fathers and daughters out there that can work together to create something great. Even at that young age to she had a natural knack for business and entrepreneurship. Thanks to her bacon is better!

Omari McQueen – Dipalicious

At the young age of eight, Omari McQueen started his own dip and cooking business that stemmed from his original passion for cooking.

When he was seven, Omari’s mother became ill with migraines, so his father, who worked long evening hours, decided to teach him how to cook to help with meals. Even before his mother’s illness, Omari already had a passion for cooking and was excited to learn more. His passion grew stronger as he began creating his own versions of meals for his family to enjoy.

Continuing to pursue his passions, Omari discovered veganism after coming across a YouTube video about vegan pizza and was extremely intrigued. He was determined to learn more about vegan foods and decided to become vegan himself to teach other children about what they could eat as well. With this, Omari began his own YouTube channel where he filmed himself making his very own vegan pizza. He felt that the pizza was too dry, so he invented his own vegan dip to go along with it!

The first dip, the Caribbean Kick, allowed Omari to start his business at eight years old, Dipalicious. Now he sells a wide selection of vegan dips, snacks, juice packs, and seasoning. Omari is also saving up to turn an old bus into a small restaurant and create pre-prepared vegan meals for children.

Omari McQueen is a great example of a young entrepreneur. He started with his passion for cooking, found a problem with dry vegan pizza, and mashed the two together to create Dipalicious. Starting a business at eight years old is truly inspiring and really makes me think, “Wow, if Omari can do it so can I!”

Along with his business success, Omari is youngest award-winning vegan chef in the UK. He has won the TruLittle Award, the Compassionate Kids Award, and the Proud and Gifted Award for being a both a vegan chef and youth empowerment speaker encouraging other children to become entrepreneurs.
