A TEENAGE BUSINESSMAN
When most 14-year-old boys are playing football or computer games after school, James
Kenyon from Manchester is running his own successful business. Ive heard of a company in
Scotland selling homemade bath products and thought it was a good idea.
My dad said I could do that, so I decided to take a chance, James explains. That was two
and a half years ago.
James started selling bath products to his friends and neighbours, but soon he began working
for two local shopkeepers. Since he started his own soap company, selling homemade soap, bath
salt and other bath products, James has earned over amp; 4,500.
James is proud of his success in business but he thinks there are more important things in his
life. Ive learnt lots and Im really enjoying it, but my school work always comes first.
James s parents are proud of their son, they think that he plans everything really well he
does homework and he can фокус on the business in his spare time. James says his parents have
been a big support.
In 2006 James became a finalist in the Enterprising Young Brit Award. James is just one of
an extraordinary group of enterprising young British businessmen who have innovative ideas and
enthusiasm for business. Age and experience is certainly no obstacle to their success; their ambition
and energy inspires them to create their money-making ideas.
