Johnny Earle
John Earle is a college drop-out and the Founder of
Johnny Cupcakes, a strange clothing company using his nickname as a brand. In
2008, he was named the #1 entrepreneur 25 years and younger by
BusinessWeek.
When John Earle was a kid, he just knew that he didn't want to have a boss. He wanted to create his own business. As early as in junior high, John Earle started to sell pranks and candies in his school. At the age of 19, John Earle started his company, Johnny Cupcakes, to sell t-shirts using his nickname as the brand. He advertised his business on his car. By 2008, Johnny Cupcakes’s revenue was over $3.8M. What surprised me:
John Earle used his nickname as the brand for his t-shirts, and it was very
successful. It is really amazing that people that just try strange things can really become successful. Website: www.johnnycupcakes.com |
