ENTREPRENE­URSHIP BEGINS EARLY…

-

“The earliest signs of entreprene­urship I showed was probably when I was 8 or 9 years old and started trading the stamps and coins I collected for Hot Wheels dinky cars, then a rare thing. I could get them only if some uncle returning from Dubai or Singapore got generous. So I started collecting them, grading them, pricing them and selling the surplus, in exchange for ones I didn't have. I even saw an opportunit­y to make money there.

Today, my 12-year-old son comes up with a business plan every 3-4 months, because he sees his Dad talking about investors and building companies all the time! Right now, he is into Pokémon cards, and tells me how he can create a trading platform for Pokémon cards. He wants a printer to put grading labels on the cards!”
