Accidental entrepreneur Business scholarship windfall for teenager See inside
Debutante Scout Elshaug and her father Tony Elshaug. PHOTO COURTESY OF GEORGIA QUICK (GEORGIA PAIGE PHOTOGRAPHY) You could pay a hefty price tag for a motivational speaker or you could just listen to the simple philosophy of Tenison Woods College Year 11 student Jess Tresidder, who is making her mark as a business owner and has secured a $15,000 scholarship in recognition of her efforts. “There is almost this stigma that young people cannot start businesses, that you need experience and age in order to,” Jess said. “But I believe having the business in itself is the experience—
and can provide many useful skills for your future.” Jess doesn’t know who nominated her for the Business News Australia scholarship but she looks forward to taking advantage of the incredible opportunity. “The Business News scholarship was honestly such a shock for me—I had no idea about it until I was told by the school,” Jess said. “I honestly thought it was a scam due to the amount of money I was given. A portion of the scholarship will be going
towards business mentoring, for a wide range of aspects, including financial, management and social media and I will probably use the remainder for future education, if I go to university, or further upskilling.” t a future in business seems inevitable – the business world has long captured her imagination – and she had dabbled in business prior to February this year when she established her personalised keyring operation - Wild Hazel Designs.
