Here is another story about a child who is mover and shaker. Please share it with your children as it is inspirational.
Meet Alejandro Buxton, now 12 years-old. He is referred to as a “kidpreneur” or a kid who is an entrepreneur. He started a candle business known as Smell of Love Candles and is assisted by his sister and mother Patricia.
It all started when Alejandro was 9 years-old and noticed that regular candles gave his mother a headache. She suffered from allergies. Concerned for her health, he researched and found natural soy material to make candles, added nice scents, and began his home business, turning their kitchen into a lab. He started selling his candles at local fairs and now has his own kiosk at the mall in Tysons, Virginia. In fact, he is the youngest person to rent space at Tysons!
Entrepreneurship is not new to him. In the past, he has shoveled snow, mowed lawns, and even had a lemonade stand.
What is Alejandro planning to do with the money he earns? First and foremost, he is saving for college. Then, he donates to charities and encourages others to save money for college too. He is a wonderful example to all of us!
