I began to have an interest in business as soon as i learned that it would help me prosper and grow, plus you can earn money... That was a big incentive! Actually I began to get involved professionally at around 13, after I had some real world experience. 2. When [how] did you get interested in computers & the internet? When I first laid my eyes on her (the computer), my life changed! :) When I was 10 I begged my parents for a computer, and when they got me one... Thats when I became a true net addict and the rest as they say is history! 3. How did you come up with the idea for an eCommerce business? Are you joking? :) Old business models are worthless in an online context; anything manufactured has less final value then the original materials themselves. Its far more economical to exploit the potential here. 4. What problems did you encounter along the way? How did you solve them? Lets see, there are distributors, coprights, production, time... How to deal with them? Quietly and quickly : ) 5. [How do you measure success?] Who or what helped you most to become successful? Success is measured when you finally turn over a profit! 6. How many people are involved in your company now? [What kind of people do you look for to work for/ with your company?] As many as were neccesary, we outsourced most of our lower production ties and did everything else in house under a team of 4! 7. What the best thing that has come from being a teen entrepreneur? The girls! Seriosuly though, your own pride. 8. What do you consider to be your biggest [most personally satisfying] accomplishment? Wow, hard question... Hmmm not sure. 9. What is your advice to aspiring teen entrepreneurs? If you have an idea fight hard to bring it about don't let anyone get you down, and above all, call me first. :) 10. What are your plans for the future? You'll be seeing a lot more of me in the future! Be sure of that, mark my words, I'm not gonna go quietly : ) Thanx Sarosh for the great interview!
