Bader is 14 years old and he already has a business plan for the future. He came to EXPLO to develop entrepreneurial skills that he can take back home to Kuwait.
I am interested in business. Me and my friend are thinking about opening our own business. In Kuwait we have a big market of people who want to buy street shoes, like Jordans and Adidas, and also street clothing. But there’s no place to buy them from, you can only order from Instagram. So if you open up a streetwear store, you can probably make a big profit out of it. I chose this also because I love shoes so much. I like the way they look and feel. I don’t really know what my favorite pair of shoes would be, but if I could get any pair of shoes in the world, I would get this one pair that is worth $40,000. They are very, very, very rare. I could sell them and get everything else I want with the money.
I really like my Business of Sports course. Something very important that I learned in Business of Sports is that you have to spend money wisely. Only getting the things that you need, nothing extra. Maybe just once in a while get something that you just feel like having, but only if you have enough money so that you can allow that for yourself. Never spend all the money you have at once. You have to plan out how you’re going to spend it and always a little at a time.
The best part about EXPLO is the people. Everyone is very nice here and really friendly. I enjoy playing with my friends here and taking part in different sports activities like football or basketball. During winding down time it’s nice to walk around and talk to different people about how our day has been. I feel like people listen here more. They care about your opinion and they want you to have your own opinion. You learn so much during classes and it actually helps you in school the next year as well.
