Like many teens today, UK teen Jordan Tomlinson was eager to find a full-time job, but unable to locate any within in the auto industry. Not letting this stop him, Jordan decided to put his entrepreneurial skills to work, and started his own micro business! What is he up to? With a love of automobiles, Jordan figured he could earn some money selling spare auto parts for models requiring special parts. And Jordan’s idea paid off! Today, he is one of the leading providers of specialty parts in his area, with a business called Rovers Returned. Talk about a great decision! How does his business work? Certain car models have parts that are expensive. But Rovers Returned has access to these parts, shipping them to needy customers. Jordan has combined his love for cars and a niche in the market to form a successful micro business!
