Homeschool Student Makes a Top 25 Young Entrepreneur List
About a year ago we published an article from JuniorBiz.com, Look at Junior Biz For 18 Good Teen Business Ideas. Since then, Nick Tart’s blog has grown tremendously. Now you can find over 100 ideas and they are arranged in what I think was very clever and helpful, too. His most recent post was The Top 25 Young Entrepreneurs, and lo and behold, the third one down was a homeschool student! Not that being homeschooled makes him special…well, uh… maybe it does-at it’s very relevant to us at Homeschool Entrepreneur!
Philip Hartman won the 2008 Inventor of the Year and was featured in Entrepreneur Magazine. His invention is called the Fiberlight, and “is a new and unique way to fuse optical fibers”. I have no idea what that means, but I do know he was only 14 at the time, and he is working on new projects as we write.
You can read the interview that Nick did with him on his site at http://juniorbiz.com/interview-philip-hartman. While you’re there, be sure to look at all the amazing resources JuniorBiz has available.
If you know of any other homeschooled teens that have a successful business, let us know and we’ll compile a list of our own. The business doesn’t have to be big to be successful, and we all know that success is measured in many ways. Comment below with your nominations, or email us at deb at HomeschoolEnt.com.
Thanks!
