The story of a 9-year old entrepreneur caught my attention this summer. With his business savvy, incentivizing leadership, and friendly smile I was curious about where he came up with his ideas and company. Here’s my interview with and story of the motivated young man\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s an interesting time to be in business. It\u2019s an even more interesting time to operate with a team, find and keep employees<\/a>, motivate them, and successfully run a company. But that didn\u2019t stop Joseph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year he and his family walked into a crystal shop on the Oregon Coast where Joe\u2019s inspiration ignited. Then, during a camping trip to Eastern Oregon his sister began finding and collecting crystal embedded rocks – geodes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Put two and two together and an idea was born. Joseph knew he could sell his collections and start making money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon returning from the family vacation, Joe asked his mom to help him build a shop front. Using crates and bins and homemade signs, the Charlie Brown-esque sales stand came to life. Discussing the concept with some neighborhood friends, Joseph landed on his pricing structure for his various products and hung out his shingle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But it wasn\u2019t long before Joseph realized he couldn\u2019t and didn\u2019t want to do this work on his own. Not only was he coming face-to-face with the various hats one must wear as an entrepreneur<\/a>, the thought of being the salesperson had him thinking of ways around owning that role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I asked him, \u201cHow do you market or promote your products?\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

         I have \u2018employees\u2019 to help get customers. When people are on walks in the neighborhood \u2018employees\u2019 will approach them and ask if they want to come see Joe\u2019s Geode Shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow do you find your employees and compensate them?\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

         Friends from the neighborhood and even a family member have decided to help. I give them $1.00 per customer they bring to the shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s your favorite part of owning your own business?\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

         I like the interaction with my customers and how they enjoy the rocks and crystals I have for sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s one thing you don\u2019t love about owning your own business?\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

         The only thing is putting the whole shop away at the end of the day.          <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat advice would you give someone who wants to start a business like yours?\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

         I would say – good for you! Do it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This remarkable conversation with Joseph started moving my wheels, too. This year has brought so many unknowns for workers, employers, and businesses in general. If they haven\u2019t already, I honestly wouldn\u2019t be surprised if people begin launching their own companies<\/a>. Finding an interest, or better yet a passion, then getting creative, paying attention to strengths and weaknesses, and embracing their internal leader will all be required. But if a 9-year old entrepreneur can do it…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final question I asked him was this: \u201cWhy did you start a business, Joseph?”<\/strong> To which he replied, \u201cWell, I want a quad someday, but my mom wants a camper, and I wanted to contribute to that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we could all be as motivated to help others, especially those we love, just like Joseph is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
