I want to tell the story of 14 years old Jewish boy, called Taylor Rosenthal, who was proposed to sell his idea for $ 30 million, but he declined. Intriguing?
For what was he offered such a large sum? His idea, on the one hand, lied on the surface. The boy invented machines that instead of sweets and water would contain first aid kits. The idea came to Taylor simply - he plays in the school baseball team, he often gets injured, and sometimes it’s hard to find even a regular patch. First, the young businessman wanted to set a pharmacy near stadiums,but calculated: the salary of sellers will reduce profits to zero. So he decided, that machine is exactly what he needs.
The project was developed at the School of Young Entrepreneurs. Taylor’s parents helped him to embody the idea in life. They aredoctors, together they developed and patented invention. In the well-known business conference in Brooklyn, he received 100 thousand dollars of private investment and incredible offer - to sell the project for $ 30 million. And the young man rejected it. "At that moment I thought that such an agreement was wrong. I felt that I want my company tp grpw as it is, and the money would have pulled me down. "
It took several months, now he is ready for sale and wants for his idea not much, no less - 50 million.
Why am I telling you this? First, you have to understand that any own ideas can turn your life upside down. Do not be afraid to pursue your thoughts, whatever sphere of life they are concerned. So you can open new ways that you can not even imagine.
Second, pay attention to your children. Do not forbid them to come up and help them to implement their ideas. Maybe one day your child will create a start-up that will cost thousands of dollars?
