Introducing...
The Ashton Meyer
Young Entrepreneur Award
Ashton's Story
At just 11 years old, Ashton Meyer turned a simple summer job into a thriving bin cleaning business, going door to door across his hometown in York Region, Ontario, one bin at a time.
His story has captured hearts and headlines across Canada and beyond - featured on Fox Business, Breakfast Television, Upworthy, and International Business Times, for one simple reason: hard work, honesty, and a soft sell mindset.
As Ashton puts it, "If they're a no today, I hope they're a yes tomorrow. Don't take the no's personally."
That kind of grit deserves more than applause.
It deserves everyone's support.
That's why BarterPay® awarded Ashton 5,000 Barter Credits® ($5000 value) that he can use in the barter system to get some of the needs like advertising, t-shirts, printing and lawn signs, so he can grow his business even more all while conserving cash!
