Age 14

Technology Entrepreneur

Isaac feels he possesses the vision needed to become a business owner.  He
believes he will be an asset to the 2008 Summer Buzz on Biz Academy
because of his intelligence, integrity, and creativity.  One of the reasons
he wants to pursue a career in business he wants to operate in his passion
and not dread going to work at a job he doesn't like.  Additionally, Isaac
wants to continue the legacy his family started over 40 years ago.

Isaac grandparents started a small retail store, which was inspired by his
great-grandmother who owned a retail business more than 60 years ago.  
Today his grandparents' business is still prospering.  Furthermore, Isaac
would like to discover and promote a product that creates demand in the
market and leave a legacy for his children and grandchildren.

After earning his M.B.A., Isaac plans to provide internships to youth who
are up and coming entrepreneurs.  He will allow his business to serve as a
resource to the community by providing jobs.  Isaac plans to be a mentor to
all business-minded youth.

Isaac expects to come out of the Academy with a more in-depth procedure
for establishing his own business.  He expects to learn how to configure his
own website and get a better understanding about stock and inventory
information.  Isaac also expects to learn how to find his "niche" in the
market and to advertise effectively.

Lastly, Isaac looks forward to learning the "do's" and "dont's" in beginning
and running a successful business.
