Giovanna Garcia with Jason O'Neill, Pencil Bugs
What I learned from a 13 year old boy….I met a young man Jason O’Neil, 13 yrs old, who owns his own business, Pencil Bugs. Has a facebook & twitter account and has sold thousands of products.
He has shared the stage with Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Brendon Burchard. He attends live events, has been on radio and is one of America’s young successful entreprenuers. Yes, he has help from his parents, attends school until 3 PM, does his homework and then is allowed to work his business. Ok, maybe he stands out a little more than some of us because he is only 13, but the point to the story is, if he can do all that, what is stopping us? We have more experience & more education! If nothing is stopping Jason from achieving his dreams, nothing should stop us from achieving our dreams! Start a business at any age!

Is it because he’s doing a business, he looks much older than his age?

Jason is a great guy indeed! I’ve only chatted with him online, but I met him on Twitter and fell in love with his work ethic and that fact that he ‘gets it’ for sure. I donated last month to his drive to donate tons of teddy bears to sick kids Christmas and he was doing very well… now I see MSNBC.com just did a story on him and now he’s been able to buy 1,700 bears (and no doubt climbing).
