Her Own Micro Business, At Just 11 Years Old

Posted by Christine Taylor

Micro businesses are everywhere. They are run by people of all ages, educations, talents and passions. Today we wanted to highlight an amazing story in Massachusetts of a unique and successful micro business, but with an intriguing sole proprietor. McKenzie Plante, a local 11-year old girl in the seaport town or Gloucester, MA has started up her own successful micro business, making welcome mats from used fishing rope. Not only is her business succeeding, but thriving. The only thing holding her business back will be the upcoming school year, where she will enter the sixth grade.

The full story can be seen in the video below, courtesy of the New England Cable News Network.  But as the economy continues to struggle, stories like this one warm the heart and illustrate the entrepreneurial spirit that is still alive and well across the country, and across all ages.
