Three teenage business people

 

Three teenage business people

 

Noa Mintz

 

Noa started a business when she was 8, holding art classes for children. Two years later, she began a party planning business for children. She doesn’t think that went very well. She thinks that because she was very young, the business wasn’t exactly perfect. These days, she is sure that she knows what she’s doing, as she has a business that finds staff to look after other people’s children. She also pays someone to help her with the business.

 

Mikaila Ulmer

 

Mikaila has opened a company called Me and the Bees. It sells lemonade, which is made with local honey. The drink is sold in several shops in Mikaila’s home town and online, and some of the money is given to nature groups that work with bees and other insects. Mikaila also shows children and their families how to get ideas to make money. She says, ‘I think I’ve got lots of good advice for them.’

 

Jessie Chong

 

When Jessie was really young, her parents told her that she should find something that she loved doing. She’s happy she did because she thinks everyone should love their work. Jessie makes jewellery and sells online. She looks at flowers and plants, and then uses the shapes and colours she sees in her jewellery.
