Parents who believe in you, is the greatest support you can ever have!
you look fine
nope!
@Kenny Mashaba mine was sabotaging my career
@Andrea C I didn’t have them either…
As a person who didn’t have them, totally agree
Not everyone has an entrepreneur mindset but those who do should not be stopped at an early age.
Nobody is born with an entrepreneurial mindset. You need to develop it. But yea I agree. Nobody should be stopped at an early age to start something.
It’s too bad this can’t be shared with the students that this is so relevant to because of the.. PROFANITY???
@Emma Langdon Definitely 👏🏽👏🏽
Sometimes you don’t even have a entrepreneur mindset. Sometimes you like something and see a opportunity in making it a business. It all starts from the idea, message, passion
The fact that he’s a 17 year old millionaire with an online business and is still going to school blows my mind. Starting early and prioritizing your investment is the best way of getting ahead to financial freedom. I’m 45 and my goal is to hit a million before eoy so I can retire 2022. Currently averaging over 20% monthly on my stock portfolio so I know I will get there. Time in the market beats anything else. I’ll take any ideas
OK, i just saw how to contact him amongst the comments i’ll do just that now.
Having monitored my portfolio performance which has made a jaw dropping $370k from just the past two quarters alone, I have learned why experienced traders make enormous returns from the seemingly unknown market.
I Had the opportunity of securing some good fraction of bitcoin sometimes ago but got discouraged by friends. I’ll connect him and hope he helps
Really nice content 👍
Millionaires are created each day, It is super easy to become a millionaire if you know what you’re doing and you’re specialized.
His parents probably have a master’s degree and live a healthy life, and gave there kids a good , stress free, and safe childhood.
Masters degree? Not sure why you included that in there.
@An Y fr
@Yanay TV Usually at old ages tho.
Why they gotta have a master’s degree though? Relax
That’s also not true, most people have help. Let’s be honest
I will definitely start my own business this year. I’ve always wanted to be an entrepreneur. My stepdad was/ is the only person who believes I could do it. He ask me all the time, “Boss lady, when you’re getting started?” This is my moment.
I’m starting my agribusiness this year. I won’t let anything stop me!
Can I work for you? I have prior experience with 2 digital marketing corporations. I can cold call companies via email and social media
Update us!
Hey its been a year how’s it going? 🙂
Sandi Richard… it’s two years now… how is the business…?
If you are reading this, you are about to walk into some BIG things
Some big but bad things
Amen
Honestly
I receive this Joy Mae!
School is holding this kid back, we need more like him.
You explained this really well!
Thanks for the great points about school!
I’ll remember this for next time!
GFL Henry But at the same time I think dropping out is a risk cuz a degree can act as a backup in case the business goes south.

Peter123 4 I didn’t even mention you. I have a feeling you are noir

I can relate to the schools discouragement. When I was in year 10 I knew what I wanted to do which was become a counselor and this one teacher in particular was so discouraging It made me strive to prove her wrong so I left school to chase that dream. I ended up leaving my hometown and traveling Australia, all the way from the top of QLD to Tasmania whilst working from a cert lll up to a diploma. I’m now 17 and about to open up my first self funded business by the start of next year. I had many struggles due to my age but regardless I pushed through and I’m now at a place in life I’m happy with. Anything is possible with belief and support.
Wow great! I wish i have that much courage
jennifer O’shea Wooo 👏🏻🎉🎉
I go to a high school in a town that has mostly very high-income people, so the public schools are really good and have a lot of practical career education too. The parents know their kids can start businesses early, so the schools have entrepreneurship classes called “business incubator” that actually help launch the students’ businesses. If successful, rich parents know high schoolers can do it, I hope other schools find ways to encourage their students to do so too.
Hey there. Good luck for you surviving educational damage lot of children get in this world.
“The main reason people struggle financially is because they have spent years in school but learned nothing about money. The result is that people learn to work for money but never learn to have money work for them”
rich dad poor dad man…
True,
Oh my gosh, so well said!
so true, I am a Ph.D. student in the engineering field. Until now I donno what to do after that I still feel worried if I can earn enough money or not. We were never taught to earn money just follow the basic rules of studies. Getting good grades and that’s all.

“The school system was built on memorization of information…it’s outdated” @17:10
I NEVER AGREED MORE …VERY TRUE🤷♀️👏
I’m 17 and just started a web development company. Let’s go
Good luck
I am 15 and I am officially starting an ecommerce brand from Jan. Good lucks with yours.
let’s goooo
how’s it going ?
Damn
I’ve owned my own business ever since I was fifteen, and seeing these other kids succeed is so so inspiring!
I dropped out at 15 had my son at 17 became a business owner at 17 in the wedding industry & published and awarded vendor in Texas ❤️
Thats so inspiring!
Well done on your successful business….being a parent that young is no joke.
Good for you 👍😊
Good job mate
See that’s what happens when parents build you up instead of tear you down.
I most definitely agree with this! I feel that growing up majority of all children hear is what they can’t do and the lack of motivation. I feel that with your parents as a strong backbone it will help the kids succeed and reach their goals. With supportive parents I feel it will help you become more successful. And also have a more mature mind and opinion when making decisions
💯💯💯!!
This comment resonated with me because I think parents can have a big effect on a child. If you are raised in an unsupportive or absent household it’s hard to build up the courage on your own to follow a “big dream”. Most big dreams for an ordinary kid are hard to follow immediately and it makes it especially harder whenever the people closest to you bring you down. Inner strength and drive are definitely also big factors but it definitely helps a lot whenever people care and support you. I don’t think that your parents can do it all for you or be your driving factor into becoming successful, that comes from within, but they definitely can have a big effect.
Amen 🙏
I’m 12 years old, and this is so inspiring and motivational!
Wishing you every success :)))
Respect for actually watching this video unlike a lot of kids. Wish you the best
Good luck on your life! Hope you succeed.
Same I’m 13 but this is definitely motivating.
lesliemccarter you can be a freelance artist, and get a lot of money by taking requests from people! you’re gonna do great, keep it up!
Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. The stock market has plenty of opportunities to earn a decent payouts, with the right skills and proper understanding of how the market works
hello how much did you start up with
I have made a 4th withdrawal now from a recommended trader expert Mr Furulais Hendrik, his expertise is outstanding
Extraordinary is the right word for expert Mr Furulais Hendrik, he’s experience as a trader is so unique
These kids have made a HUGE statement: investment into you, a positive outlook & a mind open to healthy opportunities, encouragement & support and willpower will do wonders for whatever your dream may be.
I wish them continued success and to be able to give at least 1 youngster a chance similar to the opportunities they were given.
How cool for the mother to work for her daughter and not allow ego to get in the way. It takes a lot of discipline for these young people to be continue to attend school whilst running their businesses 👏🏽👏🏽
The fact that he’s a 17 year old millionaire with an online business and is still going to school blows my mind.
