Who Says You Have to Be an Adult to Start a Business?

An inspiring story comes from Ethan, an 8-year-old boy who managed to generate a fantastic turnover of IDR 2.2 billion through his dedication in running a business.

At first, Ethan didn’t receive permission from his father. However, when he pitched his unique idea of creating kid-friendly coffee, his father saw the potential behind it and eventually gave his full support.

Despite still being in elementary school, Ethan has proven that the courage to start and the consistency to follow through can be the keys to entrepreneurial success.

From Ethan’s story, we can learn that:
