A 12-year-old Houston student with a business coach's help has built his own vending machine business and donates a portion of his profits to charity.
A young student in Houston is working his way up the ladder in the world of business. A business coach taught him everything he needed to know to start his very own business. Now 12-year-old Anthony Alvarado runs his own business, by selling snacks in vending machines. It all started with a dream to become the first millionaire in his family. He's the oldest of two boys with a single mom and wants to take them to the next level, putting plans in place when he was only 9-years-old.
Because so often I thought, man, what if I would have had that when I was his age? How much further would I be? At the end of that, at the end of that session, he went home with his mom, Iris, and he said, "I want to divide my money, and that's where it started," explains Carmen.She helped Anthony realize he could go from selling candy at his mom's business to purchasing three vending machines and let the candy sell itself throughout the day, while he's at school.
