13 Year Old Creates Value, Sells 30,000 Units

[Rickson9]

Entrepreneur: Greyson MacLean, 13, creator of BrickStix, static-cling decals and stickers for embellishing plastic building blocks such as Lego and Mega Bloks.

"Aha" moment: MacLean, who has built with Lego since he could "put two bricks together," was frustrated with the stickers that came with the sets. If he pulled one off, gooey residue remained on the plastic; if he left it on, the brick was permanently labeled. "I wanted a way to customize my builds without ruining the bricks," says the Hartland, Wisc.-based entrepreneur.
