Meet 9-Year-Old Entrepreneur CEO Of Teeth-Friendly Lollipop Company

Abraham - February 26, 2015
It’s said that great things come in small packages, and that’s certainly the case for young entrepreneur Alina Morse and her healthy, delicious
invention, Zollipops. This 9-year old entrepreneur came up with the idea for a lollipop created from healthy ingredients that was just as good for you as it was to eat.
This little Entrepreneur was contacted by Entrepreneur.com and here are the excerpts from the short interview:
On What inspired Her to come up with Zollipops? I wanted to make a difference and help people and make lives easier for guardians, and mostly moms. I got the idea when I went to the bank one day with my dad. The teller asked me if I wanted a sucker. My dad always told me that I should not eat candy, because sugar is terrible for your teeth. So on the car ride home I asked my dad if we could make a healthy sucker that was good for your teeth. I kept asking him, and finally we made the first batch. 
 
On How She create the first one? We did a lot of research to see what our main clean teeth ingredients were. We went to stores. We asked dentists and hygienists. We checked online. Then we made our ingredient list and found the perfect plant to make our Zollipops. It took many trials to get the ones we have today.
 On How She's Able To balance school and business at 9 years old?
By splitting my time after school, one third for homework, one third for business updates or projects and one third for organizing and playing with my sister.
 On What would be Her advice for other young entrepreneurs who want to create?
You can accomplish big things, and don't let anyone tell you differently. Follow your dreams. If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. Even if adults don't think kids can make big things happen, you can, just believe in yourself.
