Summary
Keanu Akbar taught himself barbering on YouTube after a bad haircut sparked his interest. He started by practising on his brother and giving friends free haircuts before turning it into a business.
As demand grew, the 15-year-old was squeezing in up to 30 haircuts a week while juggling school. When the workload began affecting his sleep and concentration, he raised his prices and capped bookings at 20 a week. Today, he runs a busy business from home.
Keanu uses his earnings to buy better tools and equipment, and says he saves up to 70% of what he makes.
This Money Mind episode looks at how Keanu built a business while still in school and what it has taught him about managing his time and money.
