A 13 year old girl just recently debuted her clothing line at New York Fashion Week. Isabella Taylor asked herself the question that every young entrepreneur should ask themselves after creating an idea; why wait? This is a lesson that all of us have been taught with the creation of our ideas.
So many famous and very successful businessmen say that their advice to young people is that once you have that idea, persue it. It was taught to us through the many lessons of Prof. Sweet as well as the guest speakers brought in. As the youngest designer to be carried by Nordstrom, her fall 2014 juniors collection is now available in 10 stores. She is quite the success for a 13 year old.
She is also a great example of someone who found something they were passionate about, and followed it. When asked about her recent success she said, “From a young age, my parents always encouraged me to follow my dreams. They told me I didn’t have to wait until I was older to be my own boss and do what I love.” So many of us could take a lesson out of her book.
Great post. It is great to see people like this succeed
yet again another reminder of what we are taught every day… why wait? start now while you are young.
It’s so inspiring to hear stories of young entrepreneurs who take embrace their gifts and aren’t hindered by what is considered the social norm.
