A little history to his story:

Dziabiak was born in Freedom, Pennsylvania, in 1987. He lived on a 20-acre farm from where his parents ran their own septic-cleaning business.

Dziabiak was first introduced to technology when his family bought a computer when he was 12 years old. After this, he begged them to get Internet after one of his friends asked him if he had a website.

He left school during his freshman year of high school to further invest in his business, turning to home schooling where he taught himself using CD ROMs.

Media Catch Career:

Dziabiak began his entrepreneurial career at the age of 14. He used a dial-up connection to surf the Internet and designed his own personal website. When he was this young, most companies didn’t have Internet and didn’t know how to make a website to promote their business. He took advantage of this situation and started charging companies a couple hundred dollars for him to make a website for their organization.

This idea exploded by the time he turned 16 and made enough money that he could hire 14 full-time employees. He named the company Media Catch and got his name out into the business world.

This company was such a hit that he sold it for a million dollars, making him a millionaire before the age of 18.

He used the money from Media Catch to start some other companies, but the focus of this post is on Media Catch.

What makes Joshua Dziabiak different?:

Dziabiak is unique in the fact that he took advantage of the start of the Internet and created a company that was in high demand.

Dziabiak’s was interested in technology every since he was a kid and used this interest to drive him to create a million dollar company.

He took an idea that he had and acted on it, unlike most people who try to start their own company. Most people are afraid of failure which blocks them from some of their most creative ideas.

Dziabiak’s impact on me:

His story showed me that age is just a number when it comes to entrepreneurship. I, like many other people, have always thought of entrepreneurs as people who are older and more educated on business principles.

Dziabiak shows that a good idea can take you to many places if you are willing to put in the work and believe in your idea.
