Issa Asad Explains 3 Up and Coming Entrepreneurs of 2016

There was a time when young entrepreneurs were only seen as people who are always bend over their work stations in a basement that has no windows. “However, this assumption has changed today because young entrepreneurs have become trail blazers in matters concerning business innovation,” said Issa Asad Florida social media expert, business man, and entrepreneur. Mr. Asad is the CEO of 2 companies in South Florida, including Q Link Wireless and Quadrant Holdings.

Data collected from the Direct Selling Association showing the most recent figures indicate that entrepreneurs under the age of 25 are now making up 22% of the business industry.

In the UK alone, over 88,000 young entrepreneurs fall into this age range. Correspondingly, the industry has become one of the major mainstream career channels for young people as compared to before, making a 30 percent increase in people who solely rely on direct selling as their main source of income. Here Issa Asad explains 3 up and coming entrepreneurs of 2016.

1. Arran Rice

At a tender age of 17, Arran Rice is the youngest entrepreneur who is still pursuing his A-level studies. This young entrepreneur is the founder and brains behind Wizzed Media which he created when he was very young due to his love for technology. Rice started his journey by experimenting on the web as a leisure pursuit and came up with a couple of websites and YouTube channels in the process.

However he did not see much success in his hobby until November 2015 when he crafted a gaming website that became very popular within a short time. Surprisingly, Arran always thought that age was going to be a huge hindrance for his goals until the start of 2015 when he found out that nobody was bothered by his young age. This was after an advertising company he was working with invited him over for dinner in London and assured him that his age is not an issue.

As a matter of fact, they were excited to meet with their youngest client and after that everyone he worked with was also okay with his age. Back in college, he is just like any other normal student taking IT, business and geography. Arran feels that college has the capability of helping him achieve his goals and doesn’t see the need of going to university since he can’t see the benefit.

2 and 3. Steve Pearce and Sam Coley

Both Steve and Sam are 23 years old and they are the founders of a famous ticketing search engine known as TickX. Sam started his journey as an entrepreneur at the age of 16 when he created a software development business which grew rapidly and before long he was already presenting large contracts. However, age was a slight drawback for him since most potential clients were worried about the fact that he was young and could easily take off to college at any time.

Nevertheless, he was able to contend with this situation by becoming VAT registered, looking as serious as possible, opening an office and also hiring full time employees. On the other hand, Steve feels that the most important thing about being a young entrepreneur is taking in all the knowledge you learn in the process from absolute experience.

He also reveals that starting up young enables you to learn and understand all there is about business and this makes a way for various opportunities and also opens doors which not only gives young entrepreneurs confidence to keep pursuing their goals but also keeps them on their toes.

From his experience, Steve doesn’t feel like age has been a hindrance to the success of their business since the business is steady and they have several business advisors and excellent mentors. The duo feels that there are many advantages of being young entrepreneurs as long as you are open as a book when asking for advice. Another advantage is that young entrepreneurs have all the time to work hard, take more risks and improve their businesses since they have little or no commitments.

The two are proud to have produced something that has never been produced before. They are working on creating a brand that will entice many people and also offer any amount of help required in the day to day life and this is satisfying to both of them.
