15歲的Nathan從學校廁打造每年邁向5.6萬美元的甜食帝國
這位綽號名叫沃爾瑟姆斯托之狼的15歲男孩，從他上學的男廁開始，打造出每年5萬英鎊的商業帝國。Nathan John-Baptiste就讀倫敦北部一所學校，在三所學校11名員工的幫助下，每天出售了230英鎊的發泡飲料和零食。
每週營業額從5英鎊，攀升到1,150英鎊，使Nathan能過著奢華的生活，甚至讓他享受過在倫敦最高的大樓「碎片大廈」用餐的滋味。他說：『我從七歲開始，總是誤入歧途。 但自從認識一位名叫卡爾的人之後，使我想要成為一位像他一樣的人』。打從那天起，Nathan開從男孩的廁所開始做起生意，向同學們兜售零食。隨著需求的飆升，第一年的午餐時間就已開始雇用一位朋友幫他販賣這些零食。他說，有一次他參加了一項作為發展計劃的百萬富翁談話中，使他學會了如何賺錢以及如何努力工作，如何走在正確的道路上。
15-Year-Old Boy Turns School Bathrooms Into A $56,000-A-Year Sweets Empire
A 15-year-old nicknamed the Wolf of Walthamstow made a sweet deal with a £50,000-a-year business empire which started in the boys’ toilets of his school. Nathan John-Baptiste, who attends a school in north London, sold £230 of fizzy drinks and snacks every day with the help of his 11 employees across three schools.
After starting with just £5, Nathan’s weekly turnover of £1,150 allowed him to lead a lavish lifestyle of meals out and trips up the Shard. He said: ‘From year seven I was going down the wrong path. But this guy called Carl came in. I thought, I want to be like him.
That same day, Nathan starting buying and selling sweets to his fellow students from the boys’ toilets and his business, Walking Talking Shop, began. He employed one friend to help sell things in his first year of break time trading, and expanded as demand sky rocketed. He explained that during a talk from a millionaire he attended as part of a development programme to keep him on the right path, he learnt about how to make money and how to work hard.
