Marc
Wright, president of the Kiddie Card Company, is one of the youngest
entrepreneurs in Canada. He started his business when he was just
six years old after listening to some motivational tapes. Following
a visit to an art museum, Marc thought he would make some drawings
and see if he could earn money. His mother suggested he put his
pictures on cards and sell them. He was an immediate success with
some rather unique concepts.
Marc
knocks on doors and gives his short, but effective sales talk.
"Hi. My name is Marc, and I'm freezing! I'm selling greeting cards.
How many would you like to buy? Here's a handful. Just pick the
ones you want and pay me what you want." His cards are hand-drawn
on pink, green and white paper. They cover the season of the year,
and Marc sells them about three days a week. He averages about
75 cents a card and sells about 25 cards an hour.
His
first year in business, Marc earned $3,000, enough to take his
mom on a trip to Disney World.
By
age ten, Marc had become something of a media celebrity. He appeared
on Late Night with David Letterman and was interviewed by Conan
O'Brien.
Marc
had an idea, didn't count his birthdays, received some encouragement
from his mother, and started his business.
Question:
Do you have an idea that's marketable? If you do, take action!
