What would you say to inspire other Kidpreneurs?

 

 

“If you’re scared and starting a business, just remember, don’t be scared. There are so many books and online things you can read about what you do to keep going. It’s always, you know, a lot of people you could talk to and always remember that your idea is that could be something huge. And, you know, could be a billion-dollar idea I’d like to say. If you’re scared, you know, that idea could be taken by someone else. So make sure, you know, keep your, you know, head focused and even if you’re scared, just try to see what you’re scared about. If you’re scared about how to find money or how to find a product, find the main factor, then, you know, focus on that and look, so that you know how to find a solution to that problem.”
