This Aussie teenage entrepreneur went from earning extra cash mowing lawns to becoming a millionaire and launching over five online businesses at the age of nineteen. How did he achieve this, all before his twentieth birthday? Let’s find out…
Brisbane-born, Bloomfield always had an innate entrepreneurial side to him, often selling sweets and doing gardening work for neighbours. By the age of twelve, the businessman gathered up enough pennies to publish his first app and three years later was knowledgeable about eCommerce following the drop-shipping method.
‘Growing up in a generation where technology has been all around us, it has definitely given me a head start and have found that to a traditional business owner who wants to innovate, the idea of an online process is incredibly daunting, so having the ability to help these small to large business use social media, click funnels, online advertising etc to a level where they can see results and potential in the online space has been something incredibly inspiring and rewarding. ‘
With no mentorship in this industry growing up, Bloomfield was self-taught from the beginning which taught the entrepreneur to be resilient, however, he believes if he had somebody to turn to in previous years, it would have been a quicker process.
‘Not having anyone to mentor me or learn from left me spending hundreds of hours soaking up half-baked free content online. I found a lot of this content to be incredibly confusing even though computers have been something I have always clicked with.’
Although Bloomfield has made a large profit from his several organisations, he often keeps the details of business under the radar. Not only does the nineteen-year-old thrive in business, but he’s also hoping to help others achieve the same with several eCommerce courses being sold via his website.
Bloomfield’s latest venture is solving fraudulent transactions and chargeback fraud, helping his customers to stop problems before they occur. ‘Disputify’ has now examined over ten million dollars worth of transactions and continues to resolve merchants’ queries.
‘My age was always an obstacle. I was so concerned what others would think, but as soon as I realized that my age could actually be used as a talking point and a tool to get me places, my business and self-esteem really took off and I started putting myself and brand out there.’
The goal for Bloomfield is to inspire young entrepreneurs by proving that determination and self-belief can take you to the top.
‘If I can just inspire one person to go and put themselves out there and take action on that idea they have been thinking about for years, then that for me, is incredibly inspiring.’
