Young entrepreneur Fraser Doherty started making jams with his grandma at the young age of 14. He grew up in Scotland and eventually he would go door to door selling jams to his neighbors. Then he expanded by selling his jams at the local farmers market and biking to his customers to deliver his orders. He began to receive more orders than he could handle. So he dropped out of his high school and began renting a factory on occasion to meet demand. As word continued to spread, high end supermarket Waitrose approached Doherty and ultimately his jam ended up on their shelves. Eventually Doherty went global and by 2019 he sold his 5 millionth jar of jam. This story follows how even something so small can grow into something big and successful through hard-work and dedication. Doherty shows how entrepreneurs do not necessarily have to come up with something new, they can do something that’s been around in a new way. This way of thinking can lead to big things in the business world.
