    This is me, I live in a small town with nothing for kids to do, I feel as if kids would love for this since they don’t get it due to the area. I’m not unsure how profitable it will be due to it being a small town. I’m 19 years old at the momentz

      I’m the same boat as you lol I’m 20 and feel like it would be an amazing addition to the city I’m in that being there’s very few things for kids/teens to go out and do

    What were the steps you took to start your business? How long did it take and how long before you felt it was successful?

      Kevin, Thanks for asking. Starting a business takes lots of steps but the first one is to have the desire and commitment to do a lot of research. The first few years were a real roller coaster. I think I only really felt successful the last few years. Being an entrepreneur is not for the faint of heart. You have to be willing to risk it all. But I am having a great time and I love growing this great company with some awesome and talented team members. Good luck in what you are doing or looking for. Elisabeth

      data from the U.S. Census Bureau 2021 American Business Survey (using data from 2020) says that in the US, men own 63% of businesses. Boys can and do start businesses. This CEO is trying to encourage more girls to consider becoming business owners, and make them aware that it is an option. At no point did she dissuade boys from the goal. Camaron, entrepreneurship is meant for people with tenacity. Don't lose hope on becoming a candy store owner just because one person didn't include you in her statement. Her own family actively dissuaded her from following her dream and she persevered. Take that example and follow your dream. Ganbatte!
