How are you going to let people know your service\/products are available? Will you need to advertise? Create a website? Give out fliers? Get publicity? Do your homework and find out how much this might cost. \u2018Viral marketing\u2019 means getting your product known via word of mouth. It\u2019s a very effective sales tool, especially for the youth market, and it\u2019s also very cheap. However it\u2019s difficult to manage and very unreliable.<\/p>\n

\u2018Interest on loans\u2019 If you\u2019re old enough to borrow money, the sad fact is that it\u2019s not a gift, you\u2019re going to have to pay it back. Boo! \u2018Services\u2019 If all this talk of money makes your head spin, you might need to hire an accountant pronto.<\/p>\n

Find out how much he\/she would charge. Sound daunting? It needn\u2019t be. Here\u2019s a guy who kicked off his first business at the tender age of 10. Fast facts Who: Whizz-kid who was setting up multi-million-pound deals before he was 19. Success factor: Set up his first company, aged 15, from his bedroom, then hit the big time with an Internet search tool called Waysearch. He was New Business Millennium Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2000 and now runs a company called Rainmakers, which develops new technologies.<\/p>\n

Trivia bite: Starred in Channel 4\u2019s Secret Millionaire, where he went undercover to give away \u00a340,000 to good causes. Did you always want to be a millionaire? No, being a millionaire wasn\u2019t my aim when I was young. I knew I was different, and wanted to run my own thing. The money was more of a by-product of success, rather than being my goal. What was your first-ever business idea? \u2018Megaswap\u2019 was my first idea, where I charged a small fee to act as an agent, arranging swaps of cartridge computer games.<\/p>\n

I was 10 at the time! What was the hardest thing about trying to achieve success in business as a teenager? Being young in business is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, people are impressed with someone so young being a competent businessman. On the other, people don\u2019t take you so seriously. It\u2019s also hard on a transactional basis \u2013 routine operations become very difficult; for example, obtaining a business bank account or arranging legal documents.<\/p>\n

Did your dyslexia hold you back? That was never really a problem. My dyslexia causes me problems with remembering people\u2019s names, and who I\u2019ve met before, and that was difficult when meeting with businessmen.<\/p>\n
