Encourage your child to think over franchised business
I have made a kind of short research in order to define the first business of different entrepreneurs. And you know I found a lot of franchise examples there.
First of all there are guys who had franchised there business from others. They were selling lemonade somewhere near their places. And that usually was an example of franchise using.
But I also have found a guy who had managed to build a franchise system by himself when he was just a teenager.
When Devon Rifkin was 10 years old, he bought lollipops from a nearby drugstore and sold them to other kids in his class at school. When business picked up, he got his parents to help by contacting the company that made the lollipops so he could buy even more and sell them to students and people in his neighborhood. Later, after he left eighth grade, he began selling entire boxes of lollipops to other kids so they could sell them, too. Soon, Devon was selling lollipops to four of five schools throughout his hometown. “It was great action, profitable, and of course made me very popular with my fellow classmates,” Devon says.
That was a real franchise company. And I bet that any guy with that system-oriented mind like Devon has should become a great entrepreneur. Do you think he is begging now?
That early success gives him extra confidence today running The Great American Hanger Co., a multi-million dollar business that makes clothes hangers for big companies like Bloomingdale’s and Nike.
His company three-year growth is estimated as 838.2% with revenue of $5.1 million.
