Lots of us have dreams of doing big business when we grow up. However, Moziah Bridges, a young boy in the US, says that we can just start now!
Bridges is now the CEO of his Mo’s Bows company. He has sold $200,000 (1.24 million yuan) worth of handmade bow ties (领结) and other men’s fashion accessories (饰品). The boy designs all the bow ties together with seven other workers in his company, including his mother and grandmother.
“Mo is the CEO of the company, but I’m the CEO of Mo,” Bridges’ grandma said.
About four years ago, when Bridges went shopping for bow ties, he found they were only in “ugly” black and red. He wanted a change. So he asked his grandma to teach him how to make a tie, and finally developed the talent of creating bow ties. However, his very first bow tie didn’t look nice.
“It’s like someth ing that nobody would wear,” he said. But Mo kept on practicing. He used colorful cloth with different pictures. And his parents and friends started to like his works. He tried to sell them online to several stores in the south. Mo’s Bows soon became popular. Bridges met his first investor, Daymond John, CEO of the famous US clothes brand FUBU. John not only put money in Mo’s Bows, but he also introduced Bridges to other important businessmen in the fashion circle. Now the young boy’s business is doing great. As Bridges’ mother said, “You don’t have to wait until you’re older. If you have a dream, go for it.”
