3 Critical Things Every Entrepreneur Can Learn From a 17-Year-Old High School Kid That Has Raked in 60k Profit With His First Business

On Reddit, I stumbled upon a post from a 17-year-old high school kid.

He asked for the best way to invest $60k.

That's money he didn't inherit or was given to as a present.

No, these were hard-earned dineros that he EARNED with his first own business within TWO YEARS.

Boy, you know me well enough by now to know that this made me curious.

I wanted to know: HOW did the DO that while being so young.

So I dug into his Reddit post history to find the answer.

Lucky me... I found it! - And it's amazing.

Lucky you... here I share it:

The boy started at age 15, posting the following on Reddit:

Fast-forward two years, the kid is posting this request:

Do you see what I see?

Post one lead to post two!

This brilliant kid had an Idea, acted on it, and got big time results within two years.

That's what I see.

Now, let's recap the 3 things that we can learn from this brilliant example.

#1 The boy started by reaching out: He went out and collected insights from people who had already been there. For example, the first posting lead to some amazing feedback from a window cleaning business veteran.

#2 He didn't let barriers hold him back: At the beginning, he didn't even have a driver's license. Did he take this as an excuse not to start? NO, he looked for ways to make things work without it... and succeeded.

#3 He started delegating, early: As Sir Richard Branson shared in his list of entrepreneurial skills, learning to delegate is crucial.

All three things are critical for success.

Just think how things would look if he hadn't done them:

Had he not reached out, he would have tried to figure out everything himself. Still possible to be successful. But I doubt that he could have reached $60k in after tax profits within two years while tryting to figure everthing out himself.

Would he have taken barriers as a sign to stop, he would have not even started. Just saying, "I don't have a driver's license, I can't do it." would have been enough to stop cold.

Without delegating, he would have been stuck between full time high-school and working. Chances are that he would have become overwhelmed. Certainly, he would not have found the extra time to rake in $60k.

THAT'S why I say that all three things have been success critical.

There will be other success factors that are not so obvious.

But why not hold on to the ones that we clearly see here.

So let's summarize what you and I can learn from this brilliant kid so that we remember it in our current or next business endeavor.

Start and reach out, let's not fret over obstacles, and start to delegate things early on.
