At just 14, Daron Taylor has the hustle of Sean Combs and the business acumen of Magic Johnson. Earlier this week, Taylor was interviewed about his new company, D’s LawnCare. The Cleveland native’s ambition and drive puts most adults to shame!
Taylor saved money to buy a bike, so he could build his own trailer. Using wood boards and a crate, he created a transport that holds his lawnmower, weed whacker, gas can and blower. He’s also invested in business cards, which he’ll hand out at a moment’s notice.
Taylor has high hopes for D’s LawnCare. He plans to take his business to the next level, with help from GoFundMe. His overall goal is $25,000 and thus far, he’s accumulated over $8,000 in donations.
Here’s Taylor’s brief call to action:
I’m a ninth grader currently attending digital arts. I’m saving to have the worlds largest lawn care service ever. My lil brother and I cuts multiple yards daily to achieve my goal. Please donate to help me buy new equipment and further achieve my goal thank you and God bless.
So far, the original Instagram video has been viewed over 30,000 times. Most users are tagging Cleveland favorite, LeBron James, as well as Ellen DeGeneres in the comments, hoping one of them will give Taylor a helping hand. But you don’t have to be a celebrity to chip in. Every little bit helps.
Support black businesses. Support our children’s dreams!
