My 11-Year-Old Just Lapped Most Adults in Business

Buenos dias, everyone!
Thank you to everyone for following and sharing this journey with me.
Fam—this community keeps growing!
As of today, we’ve crossed 7,220 followers on X. Are we connected yet? If not, let's fix that: Let’s be friends. Every follow feels like another step forward, and I appreciate each and every one of you for being part of this journey.
Our newsletter community is almost at 1250 subscribers, and more excitingly, 228 people have already started or been approved for the WIOA grant! My goal is to help 1,000 individuals across different states get access to this life-changing funding—and at this rate, it won’t be a secret for long!
Help me reach 1,000 by the end of this year!

Most people say they want to start a business.
Few actually do.
They get stuck overthinking, waiting for the "perfect" time, or convincing themselves they need one more piece of information before taking action.
Meanwhile, my 11-year-old son is out here running laps around grown adults.
Last summer, he launched a snow cone business. Made him $3,500 in 2 months working 2 days per week. But since that business is seasonal, he realized he needed something more consistent. So, what did he do?
He found a mentor, asked the right questions, and took action. Now, he’s getting into the vending machine business.
No overthinking. No waiting for the “perfect” time. Just action.
So I’ll ask again—what’s stopping you?
If you want to get into the vending business game, please reach out to my buddy Ethan.
[email protected] or follow him at https://x.com/ethan_kohan. He’s helped over 300 people leave their 9-5 with vending machines.


Start learning AI in 2025
Everyone talks about AI, but no one has the time to learn it. So, we found the easiest way to learn AI in as little time as possible: The Rundown AI.
It's a free AI newsletter that keeps you up-to-date on the latest AI news, and teaches you how to apply it in just 5 minutes a day.
Plus, complete the quiz after signing up and they’ll recommend the best AI tools, guides, and courses – tailored to your needs.
Why Wait to Take Action?
Starting a business—even as a side hustle—doesn’t require a 10-step master plan. It requires movement. The people who win aren’t necessarily the smartest. They’re the ones willing to take the first step.
If an 11-year-old can do it, so can you
P.S. If you’ve been sitting on an idea, take action. The best way to learn is by doing.
Here’s to making moves!
Until next time, control what YOU can control, take action on something, and don’t forget to smile.
