It had all started in the seventh grade when Brendan Cox started selling packs of gum and made $56.0 on the first day of his business. Since he started on that one day of seventh grade, Cox has not stopped creating businesses. Today he owns and operates ten businesses and recently just published his book. His new book provides readers with tips and tricks that have helped Cox thrive in the business world at such a young age.
Cox’s new book and his ten businesses that he operates shows how diverse of an entrepreneur Cox truly is. Cox does not just dominate in one aspect of entrepreneurship, he dominates all aspects of the entrepreneurship world. This is an inspiring person because we often are used to seeing an entrepreneur dominate one are. They are typically successful in one area and put all of their focus in that area. Cox on the other hand has challenged this typical way of being an entrepreneur. He went after multiple areas of being an entrepreneur and became pretty successful in whatever he chose to go after. He did not let others limit him, he reached for the stars.
Another inspiring part of Cox’s story is the amount of times that he had failed. It was not always domination for Cox, he failed multiple times before he reached success. However, he did not let that failure dictate his future, rather he used it as fuel. To go even further, he took those failures and used it to write a book where he gives other entrepreneurs tips on how to avoid those failures. Cox is not only dominating the entrepreneur world, he is generously helping others succeed like he did.
It is amazing how such a small idea from such a young age can turn your entire life onto a certain path and inspires and motivates Brendan and other aspiring entrepreneurs. Brendan understands his strengths and uses them to create businesses and really puts the name of an entrepreneur to the test.
How neat that Brendan started his entrepreneurial journey all of the way back in middle school! That is impressive! It’s great to hear that his businesses are diversified; he is smart for not putting all his eggs in one basket.
