Your little CEO-in-training has big plans for her lemonade stand (five corners by August!); you’re just grateful she’s found a way to keep her thinking cap on during the summer months. She’s not the only one making serious change. From spinning the latest hit tunes to designing awesome socks and even whipping up all-natural cookies, flip through the album below to discover eight businesses where kids call the shots.

Ry’s Ruffery

If you’ve ever sneaked a peek at the ingredients on the pack of the doggie treats you feed Fido then you’ll totally get why Ryan Kelly decided he wanted a natural, healthier snack for his beagle, Barkley. With the help of his mom and a few local veterinarians, and after a few sessions in the kitchen, a better biscuit was born! Once he created his product, Ryan started selling the goods to neighbors and local dog owners. Immediately a hit, his treats are vegetarian, grain-free and come in tasty flavors like cheddar, peanut butter, and pumpkin apple. This inspiring kidpreneur has a crew of kid sales associates, has appeared on Shark Tank and is available for speaking engagements.
