I am writing on a Moziah Bridges, who is a teenage entrepreneur who started Mo’s Bows. His company is a high quality and high fashion bow-tie brand. He started selling his ties on Etsy, then expanded and created his own website. He received major publicity when he was on the show Shark Tank, where he received a partnership with Daymond John, who gives him mentorship and helps him expand his brand with his business expertise. Moziah was invited to the White House by President Barack Obama, because Obama saw him as a great example to young teens, and an ambitious businessman.
His company has five employees, including his mom and grandma, who taught him how to sew bow ties when he was younger. He has now sold over $700,000 in bow ties. Moziah is now a millionaire, with a net worth of over one million. His business is primarily still online, but he has also partnered with retail brands to sell his products in store.
Moziah’s story is a good example of how age is not a factor when it comes to creating something that you are passionate about. He started when he was only 12 years old, and has grown his brand ever since then. Having a niche is very important when starting a business, because it makes you stick out and people will become more interested in the brand. Doing something simple in a different way is something that most people do not think of, but can very often be the most successful idea.

I remember seeing videos about Moziah Bridges, and even then, I was impressed with his passion. Once again, I love seeing young entrepreneurs who don’t let their age get in the way (or even see it as an obstacle in the first place) of something they know they can do. Many people start businesses on Etsy, but never go past that. He did and it paid off well. Great job!
I really liked the last line of this post. Lots of people view entrepreneurship as a venture that has to be completely brand new (like a brand new invention or brand new technology), when really it only has to be pulled off in an original way that delivers the best value for customers. I like how this post pointed out that a little original innovation can go a long way.
