This morning while taking my daily walk, I spotted a future millionaire in action.
Today looks like it is going to be a hot one with parts of the UK expected to hit 34C and one young entrepreneur was trying to capitalise on this.
As I walked past the gates of a local school, one young lad, aged between 12 and 13, was standing at the gates with a freezer bag at his feet stocked with ice lollies and choc ices.
As I approached I could hear him calling out “ice lollies £1, ice creams £1.50,” to all of the other students who were disembarking buses and walking towards the school gates.
I didn’t personally witness anyone buy anything from the young entrepreneur but that’s not surprising as I was walking past, and I wasn’t going to hang around to see because… well you know, a grown man watching teenagers by the school gates who isn’t dropping off his own children can lead to people getting the wrong impression.
I’m interested to see if he sells any ice lollies, but I’m not that interested that I am willing to risk talking to the local constabulary!
All that matters is that here was a young lad who was seizing the opportunity to make some money by selling a product students would enjoy on a hot day.
Who can fault him?
Some students would be embarrassed and others would be scared of getting into trouble… this lad was neither.
And it’s that attitude of caring less what other people think and focusing on making money is what I believe is going to take him to millionaire status.
He spent his own time sourcing ice creams and lollies to sell, he positioned himself early at the school gates, and like a real ‘Del Boy’ he called out to his fellow students as they approached… all of that takes a specific personality, the type who I believe can go far in life.
From the looks on the other student’s faces I get the feeling they were not surprised that it was him by the school gates selling ice creams.
I actually think many of his fellow students admired him for what he was doing. I suspect several wished they had had the same idea.
But they didn’t, he did and he acted on it.
Most people think of great ideas, but they do nothing with them.
Many of them wait for the right time to get started, but as Kevin Kelly, co-founder of Wired magazine, says… ‘about 99% of the time, the right time is right now’.
Obviously, sometimes there is a ‘wrong’ time, if this was winter it wouldn’t be a good idea to be stood outside the school gates selling ice creams…
But I wouldn’t be surprised if the boy who I observed selling ice lollies today had also considered selling mugs of hot soup or coffees in winter.
It’s easier to have a freezer bag of ice lollies than it is to supply hot drinks on a cold day so if he hasn’t actually done it, I’m sure he has thought about it.
People with the entrepreneur gene often spend a lot of time thinking about ways to make money, it’s in their nature.
Any money earned from selling ices at school is seed money which he may use to invest in more stock so that he makes more profit or invest in other products to sell or even other projects.
It is a starting point…

All successful people had to start somewhere.
Richard Branson started by publishing his own student magazine in 1966 at the age of 16. He was gifted £100 from his mother which paid for the electricity and the postage costs for his magazine.
Without that seed money, the magazine would have folded and Virgin may never have happened.
Branson himself said “That £100 ended up paving the way for Virgin Galactic, Atlantic and all the other Virgin companies around the world today”.
Used wisely, who knows what the money earned from selling ice creams outside of the school gates could lead to for this young entrepreneur.
Once he has raised £100 selling ice creams and lollies, he could then focus his efforts on doubling it.
It takes only 14 doublings to take £100 to £1.6 million.
What holds most people back is that they don’t know how to take £100 and double it up to £1.6 million.
It’s far easier when you have a plan and guidance.
And that is where our friend Barry Tyler comes in.
He started with £100 and doubled it until he was a millionaire… and now he wants to show you how to do the very same.
Barry has laid out the exact plan he used to take £100 and double it to £1.6 million.
Following his plan and with his advice, ideas and guidance, you too could take £100 and turn it into £1.6 million focusing on the ‘doubling’ method.
