At the age of 13 Hart Main found himself in a pickle. Hart wanted to buy a bike but did not have the funds to pay for it. So, he set out to make some money. He got his big idea when he was making fun of his sisters girly scented candles. He realized that there was a lack of manly scented candles and he wanted to change that. His original motivation was trying to save money to buy his bike, but he fell in love with his new idea for manly candles. With the help of his parents Hart created and launched a new brand of manly candles. They were called Man Can. In the beginning Hart and his family put in a lot of time, effort, resources, and money to get their Man Cans ready for sale. Now Man Cans are sold in every state and their business is going very well. Hart has made enough money for more than just his bike.
What I love about Hart’s story was how he came up with his idea. He only wanted to buy a bike. But when he thought of his candle idea after a silly conversation with his sister, he knew he was about to create something so much more then what he needed to buy his bike. He had the entrepreneurial mind needed to recognize a good idea when it appears. I am inspired by the way his family cam together and supported his idea. His parents helped him every step of the way and did not push is ideas to the side simply because he was young. They supported him and helped him get his idea rolling. Together they were able to create a very cool product that not only Hart is supper passionate about but the whole family.
