5th Grade Entrepreneur Turns Passion Into Profit
A 10-year-old boy in Mansfield may have the right idea when it comes to making a buck in a tough economy.
He took his passion for art and turned into a business.
“It makes me happy. That’s why I came up with the business ‘cuz I wanted to do something I liked,” Bryce Roberson told NBCDFW.
Yes, Bryce, a fifth grader, started his own business – ABBsigns.
Bryce creates lawn art — those big signs people put in their yards to celebrate something. Clients tell him what the festive occasion is –like a birthday or holiday — and he creates a design for it. He draws it on paper first, then on a piece of plywood.
“This whole venture is all to teach him about business. That’s my whole focus, and if he makes money, great,” his father said.

That’s an innovative kid! Going by the picture, I’d have to say that he does a nice job too.
