Phone Repair

My entrepreneurial journey began not with a plan, but with curiosity. As a kid, I was fascinated by how things worked. I’d pull broken electronics from local e-waste bins, take them home, and teach myself how to fix them—one YouTube video at a time. Laptops, e-readers, game consoles, you name it—I took them apart, learned from my mistakes, and slowly got better.

 

By grade 8, that curiosity evolved into action. I launched my first official business: an iPhone repair service. With no formal training and no startup capital, I relied entirely on what I had taught myself online. I started small—replacing cracked screens and dead batteries for classmates, sometimes even during recess.
