8 Year-Old Entrepreneur Makes Plea For Job
Sometimes you have to start early to get ahead.
Rockford’s Tanner Leuellen, 8, has started earlier than most.
After passing out homemade business cards and looking for a position as an “Apprentice Creator” at the Rockford Chamber of Commerce Manufacturing Expo last week, the grade-schooler has spent spring break doing interviews.
CNN featured him; so has CBS. But with upcoming appearances on the “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and “The Bonnie Hunt Show,” it seems he has walked away with more talk-show gigs than job offers.
On “The Early Show” you said you’ve received a job offer. What was it?
It was for Good Feet [in Rockford]. They sell shoes; I’m going to figure out what sells a shoe. And they’re going to walk me through everything and show me the stuff they do for their employees. … That was my only job offer.
