E-Commerce Article #1

The article that caught my attention was " Ollies and Ocean Life: Inside the Mind of a 14-Year-Old Founder" by Dayna Winter. This article followed a fourteen year-old boy named Carson. Carson had an idea of fitting his skateboard in his school locker, an idea many of this fellow classmates appreciated. He began to make skateboard decks and sell them to classmates who also experienced the issue of having nowhere to put their skateboards after riding them to school. Carson's business blossomed within his school and he eventually came into contact with the executive producer of Shark Tank. He was able to pitch his idea to them at such a young age. I chose this article because I plan to go to college for a business degree and to become an entrepreneur. This article relates to the dream that I have for myself, only he succeeded in completing it long before I will.

  1. I found this article pretty interesting to read. I find it cool how not only did he get a deal with Shark Tank but he pitched the idea in the elevator 4 years before hand. I think that this was a good article to read because it gives people inspiration. Also since you want to go into business , it shows you you're aspirations are accomplishable.
