Wow Ben does seem pretty impressive. The most impressive young entrepreneur I have EVER come across in all of my life is Natin Paul from Austin, Texas. This kid is a knockout and a smooth entrepreneur that is only 17 years old. Paul already owns 6 companies, and last I talked to him he was working on acquiring a new one, and also looking into becoming a franchisee of a nationally recognized restaurant.

Natin started his first company, New Wave DJs, when we was 9 years old. Yes, 9. Since then he has gone on to start several other companies including a tutoring service, and a water bottling business. He was brilliant having scored a 1500 on his SAT and being offered admission to all of the nation's top business schools.

Here's an article that I read in the Austin Business Journal on Natin in February:

This kid is a stud and I am glad that I have come to known him. I keep in contact with him regularly and expect big things out of him.

Shoot him an email if you want to meet an amazing young entrepreneur. He's always looking for investors. LOL. I enjoyed reading your stories guys.

Heh. Go, Ben, go!

One of my biz colleagues mowed lawns in the summer starting from the age of 12. By the time he was 16 he had saved enough money to turn an old roadside shack in Maine (where he grew up) into a summer ice cream stand.

He bought an old cash register, bought a second hand ice cream maker, borrowed his dad's tools to build the counter, but bought the lumber himself etc.

By the time he was 18 he had made enough money selling ice cream cones to pay his tuition at Northwestern.

Only in America. Seriously. I live in the UK now. All the kids do here is either study for exams, work for fast food joints or hang out in malls.

So it's good to see somebody like your friend kicking ass =)
