Mitchell Bobbera (22) isn’t the most well-known or richest young entrepreneur…but he is still one nonetheless. Unlike many of the entrepreneurs that I have reported on, Bobbera shows his entrepreneurship by finding a way to make money in an untapped area that interests him. Mitchell Bobbera enjoyed welding but also art. He was extremely talented at welding and when he graduated high school he pursued that trade. But he found that he was bored in this traditional line of work and he wanted something that would tap his artistic abilities. He ended up using his welding abilities to create sculptures out of horseshoes. This proved to be successful, a lot of businesses wanted these homey small-town structures in front of their businesses so that people would see them as a town staple. His success grew and he started sculpting other things out of scrap metal and became very successful. What I have learned from Bobbera is that if you figure out what you are good at and what you enjoy you can often find ways to make money doing it. You don’t have to stick to the traditional job structure. Doing what you are good at and what you enjoy is often more satisfying than making a lot of money. If you have an idea it isn’t too difficult to do what you love.

This example of an entrepreneur from Mitchell is a great story of someone who takes a skill and takes it to a whole new level by adding a twist to it. This is a great method for young entrepreneur because it allows one to have a unique business idea just as we see from Mitchell. I think all entrepreneurs could take advice from Mitchell.
I like that Mitchell took something he loved and was good at, and reinvented it in a new way to create profit and value! His product also allowed him to remake something old and add new value
It is really difficult to sell art so it is impressive whenever someone manages to discover a great sustainable market niche!
I really liked how Mitchell found a different way to do things. He enjoyed welding obviously but grew bored of it. He instead transformed the form of building into something he would better enjoy. He instead transformed welding for himself into an art form. I think this is a great example on how to make something your own. By going the artistic route and doing something he loved and enjoyed, he made it into a business. He made artistic sculptures out of horse shoes and people loved what he was doing as well making it a business venture, it was also his hobby.
