From Fork to Flourishing Business: Lizzie Marie Cuisine
From her own personal kitchen, to the farmers market, to a prospering young business woman, this young entrepreneur has a lot going for her, especially at such a young age.
This eleven-year-old empress had a passion for healthy food her business has transformed her into a miniature Rachel Ray, which she also gained some business advice from. Lizzie Likness (Lizzie Marie Cuisine) has created a website featuring, blogs, recipes and videos to encourage children to eat healthy.
What first began as fundraising for horseback-riding lessons grew into something that she had never expected it to become. Once she realized how people starting reacting to her delicious, tasteful (and not to mention healthy, of course) food, Lizzie though that it was time to take her cooking to the next level. Lizzie had asked her father to make her a website and she began posting cooking videos on YouTube. Anxiously awaiting what people would say, Lizzie had received a plethora of comments from a vast array of people with many different opinions. While some were shocked and pleasantly surprised by her age, others begged to differ that someone that young should not be in the kitchen. With that being said, that did not stop Lizzie from pursuing her passion harder and expanding the boundaries of her business.
Not only is this a story of mass success for one little girl, it is also one of inspiration. Lizzie had mentioned in an interview that one of the reasons that she encourages children to eat healthy is her parents weight loss. Lizzie’s father is also in the healthy-living business and as she got older, the more inspired she was by his work and jumped when she saw an opportunity to act.
Lizzie still continues to cook today, taking ordinary recipes and making them extraordinarily tasteful and healthy to eat. She continues to be an inspiration to those to pursue their passion, young and old alike.
That’s a really unique and smart perspective for a girl at such a young age to take capitalizing on the healthy food leanings in society. It’s also very impressive that she’s integrating multiple platforms into her approach. Very smart, and even more fascinating because of her young age.
