One entrepreneur who made a name for himself in e-commerce and software is Hayden Bowles. At the young age of 12 years old, he began learning about business and traded stocks. In high school, all he did was sit in class on his phone and traded stocks, which his professors either allowed it or sent him to detention. By sophomore year of high school, he dropped out to pursue business. He started to pursue drop-shipping on Shopify and learned how to use Facebook and Instagram ads to leverage himself. He became so good that he generated roughly $20,000 per month just from Shopify drop-shipping alone. At the same time, Hayden worked hard to build his personal brand through his YouTube videos, Instagram page, and Snapchat following. He acquired business partners to help him manage his Shopify stores. At 17 years old, he embraced networking by meeting very prestigious people all over the country. He moved out of his parent’s house at this time in pursuit of his dream for financial independence and freedom. Hayden saw the opportunity to share his knowledge with the world by creating a buy-in mastermind course for drop-shipping where he provides exclusive strategies that he uses to build his own stores. I have personally joined this course when I built my own Shopify store and I can easily say it was worth the investment. Since then, Hayden has scaled his businesses and built new ones from the ground up. He is now projected to generate over $2 million in net income this year at the age of 18, and posts daily YouTube videos where he shares his knowledge and experiences.
Some of the best innovations in technology today feels like it comes from the mind of youth, just because we are young doesn’t mean we cant change the world and make a living while doing it.
Pretty cool story on dropping out of high school to pursue this. Something worth noting is that although he made it at a very young age, he started well earlier.
Thanks for this post
Crazy at how young this man started working in business. I noticed he used his resources such as the internet, Shopify, social media, and networking to become successful. This just goes to show how many resources millennial’s have, and if young teens could tap into technology the way Hayden did, the world would have a lot more rich millennial’s. He is defiantly someone people can learn a lot from. Amazing story.
