????莉齊瑪麗美食匯
????年齡：11歲
????莉齊?瑪麗?萊克尼斯是本榜上最年輕的女企業(yè)家,，她運營著一家名叫“莉齊瑪麗美食匯”（Lizzie Marie Cuisine）的網(wǎng)站,，主要為網(wǎng)友提供一些做飯小貼士、產(chǎn)品評論和菜譜,。莉齊6歲就開始了她的企業(yè)家生涯，小小年紀就開始在農(nóng)貿(mào)市場上賣自家做的面包和餅干,，用賺來的錢支付馬術(shù)課的學(xué)費,。只是她的馬術(shù)生涯并沒有持續(xù)多久（她說她只騎了一年半的馬），不過她對烹飪的熱情卻一直沒有中斷,。2007年,，她的“美食花邊”（Tasty Tidbits）美食教育項目獲得了名人慈善網(wǎng)站DoSomething.org的一筆撥款。今年1月,，莉齊還與另外四名獲得撥款的年輕企業(yè)家一起出席了由DoSomething.org,、《今日美國》（USA Today）和《瑞秋美食秀》（Rachael Ray Show）聯(lián)合舉辦的The Kindness Challenge慈善挑戰(zhàn)賽。另外她還出席了Digitas公司舉辦的NewFront 2011網(wǎng)絡(luò)內(nèi)容交流會的一個座談會,，在會上探討了新媒體以及新媒體給人們與親友間的關(guān)系帶來的影響,。
????莉齊現(xiàn)在正在撰寫一本自己的食譜,，而且據(jù)說她還打算創(chuàng)立自己的美食品牌，或者加盟另一個美食品牌,。另外她也表示希望能像美食女王瑞秋?雷（Rachael Ray）一樣,，主持一檔自己的美食節(jié)目。不過目前她最關(guān)注的還是自己的學(xué)業(yè),。莉齊在家里接受教育,，因此可以利用空余時間進行烹飪、參加活動或工作,。
????莉齊給年輕企業(yè)家的建議是：不要害怕向別人尋求幫助,；從做小生意起家；如果你遇到了不相信你的人,，“那是他們自己的問題,。”

????Lizzie Marie Likness
????Lizzie Marie Cuisine
????Age: 11
????Lizzie Marie Likness, the youngest on our list, runs Lizzie Marie Cuisine, a site that offers cooking tips, product reviews, and recipes. Her entrepreneurial life began at six years old: She paid for her own horseback riding lessons by selling homemade breads and cookies at farmers' markets. Her equestrian career didn't last (she says she rode for a year-and-a-half), but her cooking stuck. Her "Tasty Tidbits" food education project won a grant in 2007 from DoSomething.org. This past January, Likness appeared with four other young grant winners in The Kindness Challenge, a philanthropic competition run by DoSomething.org, USA Today and the Rachael Ray Show. Likness also appeared on a panel at Digitas' NewFront 2011, discussing new media and how it affects relationships with friends and family.
????Likness is working on a cookbook and is in talks to create her own line of food products or join another chef's brand family. Down the line, she says she would love to have her own cooking show like Rachael Ray, but she's first and foremost focused on her education. As a home schooled student, Likness can focus on her cooking, taking time off for events and working ahead in lag times.
????Her advice for young entrepreneurs? Don't be afraid to ask for help, start small, and if you encounter doubters, "that's their own problem." |
