Leanna Archer – Starting a business at age 9

Start-Ups - Posted: May 22, 2010

Leanna Archer Leanna's Inc

Leanna Archer is the Founder/CEO of Leaana’s Inc, A hair and body care products she started at age 9 years old after her mom started using hair pomade made by her great grandmother on her hair.

Suddenly, she started receiving a lot of attention from strangers commenting on how much they loved her hair which was from the result of the pomade.

She quickly noticed the need for the product and how beneficial it could be; now the next step was convincing her parents as a 9 years old to start a business selling pomade

Firstly, they acknowledged the idea, but wrote it off by saying that they dint have the time and knowledge to run a business, she was told the regular you know “wait till you get older” speech.

But she dint give up, she decided to take it upon herself to introduce the pomade to her friends in a Gerber food jar and it paid off, they all loved it, and it was like they switched a light bulb on, calls started to come, people wanted more.

After that, Her parents were so impressed they decided to help her, she obtained her business license and tax id after doing some research and in June 2005, Leanna Inc was born.

Leanna is still currently responsible for the creations and development of the products but not without her family.

Leanna also travels around the country giving speeches to motivate kids and young adults.
