11-Year-Old Entrepreneur Running Hair Biz
Her name is Leanna Archer. At the age of 4 , after she was tested for Pre K, her parents were told that it would be a good idea to take to a gifted center to get tested because she was way too advanced for her age but we didn’t take it seriously.
At 8 years old she begged her Dad to turn a home made hair product that Mommy makes for her hair into a business. we were so busy working and raising her and her 2 brothers that again we didn’t take it seriously. she realized then that she had to do it herself, she started filling her baby brother’s gerber jar with the hair dressing and giving to her friends in school to try.
When her friend’s parents started calling to ask if we can sell it to them, that’s when they realized how serious she was. After ignoring her for about a year, Leanna’s Inc. was registered in New York and a website was created and now people from all over including Canada, close friends, relatives and co-workers are using Leanna’s hair products.
