Ryan Hickman, a brilliant, young, millennial entrepreneur, has a unique story behind getting his business started. From the age of three, Ryan was always disturbed by paper and plastic being left on the floor. Because he was so irritated by this, he wanted to take action. Because he was so young at the time, he started to fix this problem by taking action and picking up his family’s trash off the floor. Along with this, Ryan would go with his dad to take his family’s recycling to the recycling site. He made five dollars each time he would do that with his father for his family. Because he enjoyed doing this, and began making small amounts of money, he began thinking about furthering his “business” by offering to do the same thing he was doing for his family, also for his neighbors. By seven years old, this brilliant kid launched his own company that was known throughout his county. Ryan Hickman’s story is a great example of how even the youngest children have desires and ideas that have great potential and could turn into a successful business. Ryan’s business began with a small idea and turned into a successful business. Ryan’s story is a great example of how someone can take either a pet peeve or hobby and turn it into something more fruitful and successful. Just like Ryan, many young children might have a little hobby or pet peeve that could lead them to a greater idea which could formulate into something even bigger. Ryan’s story is inspiring because his business is both an ethically good idea, but also a brilliant one. After reading Ryan’s story as a millennial entrepreneur, I hope that more children would not be scared away by their age and will follow their passions and dreams because they could develop into something amazing.
This is such a good idea for a young kid to make money. we have all seen the kids who offer to take your trash down to the end of the road for a couple of bucks, but this is much better. i love how he turned something he’s passionate about into a business for himself. This is a great example to us all to take something that’s personal to you that you feel needs a change and turn it into something for the better. This is not only a great idea to make money but i love the meaning behind it which is to clean up trash to help out the environment.
