Ashley Qualls and whateverlife.com
Here is an intersting article about seventeen year old Ashley Qualls at Fast Company. She created the popular MySpace layout website wateverlife.com.
At 17 going on 37 (at least), Ashley is very much an Internet professional. In the less than two years since Whateverlife took off, she has dropped out of high school, bought a house, helped launch artists such as Lily Allen, and rejected offers to buy her young company. Although Ashley was flattered to be offered $1.5 million and a car of her choice–as long as the price tag wasn’t more than $100,000–she responded, in effect, Whatever. “I don’t even have my license yet,” she says.
It goes on to say her company pulls in $70,000 a month.
It just takes an idea and the will to run with it.
