For a lot of kids with entrepreneurial
aspirations, the lemonade stand is the go-to business idea. Not so for
7-year-old Ryland Goldman. This kid has bigger plans.
When his family recently moved to Los Gatos,
Calif., Ryland spotted a golden business opportunity: lots of foot traffic. His
family lives a block away from Ryland's elementary school. Every morning a
steady flow of parents and their children stream by their house.
Opportunity? Check. But Ryland also has big
dreams. His parents say Ryland has wanted to open his own restaurant since he
was just 3 years old. So, when dreams meet opportunity, sometimes businesses
are born.
Not every day, but as frequently as his parents
allow him, Ryland gets up early and bakes foods like biscotti, muffins and
brownies. He gets coffee and juices, prints up a menu and sets everything out
on a folding table near the sidewalk in front of his home. Ryland's Restaurant
is open for business. Some mornings he pulls in more than $100.
"I think he is a future entrepreneur,"
Ryland's principal, Kit Bragg, told a local NBC news program. Future? I think
he's an entrepreneur right now.
Get inspired by this boy's passion for food and
business by watching the NBC Bay Area news report. It's less than four minutes
long and worth every second.
