This is young man is Cory Nieves, he is now 14 years old, and he began his own b
usiness at the age of six.
One day Cory proclaimed that he was tired of riding the bus to school, and that he wanted to buy a car. Like every parent, his mother said to save up for own and buy one on his own. That is what he began to do. He originally started selling hot cocoa around where he lived and Cory’s mother noticed how dedicated and persistent Cory was and encouraged that he should begin raising funds for college. He then expanded his sales to lemonade and cookies.
Cory’s business is Mr. Cory’s Cookie and he has perfected the chocolate chip cookie recipe as well as other classic cookie flavors. He has moved his business online and has reached out to many major establishments such as Bloomingdales and Macy’s for publicity, as well as working with non-profit organizations like Children’s Aid Society.
Cory Nieves is truly a talented young individual with so much potential. He has a goal oriented and dedicated mine that is shown through how he began his career. All Cory wanted was to buy himself a car and if he can make a startup business from a child like wish the possibilities that he will accomplish in the future are grander and closer than Cory knows. We should harness such dedication in order to achieve our goals.
This is a great example of how a simple idea can grow into a business using the internet! Great blog post and great photo and link.
The fact that a six-year-old boy had the drive to start his own business should be very convicting to all young entrepreneurs who have ideas but are hesitant to begin acting on them. Very inspiring story that shows if you want something, you have to be willing to work in order to get it.
