The Pitch

NOTE

Young Entrepreneur's Bold Beginnings and School Dropout Decision

Bill Smith's entrepreneurial journey began at a young age when he started working at a country mall at 11. Growing up in a family of entrepreneurs, he always knew he would be a business person. His disinterest in school led him to start selling cell phones at 16, making $5,000 a month. Without his parents' knowledge, he leased an office space at 16. After being caught by the school for not attending classes, he decided to drop out and pursue his entrepreneurial ventures full-time. Despite initial concerns, his father was reassured by a counselor that Bill would be successful on his chosen path.
