Many teenagers spend their lives studying，playing video games and hanging out with friends - but not Henry Patterson，a teenage entrepreneur.
    The 15-year-old boy from Bedfordshire，a county in the East of England；started his business journey at the age of 9 when he launched his children's brand，Not Before Tea.
    The lifestyle brand for young people is based on a storybook called The Adventures of Sherb and Pip，which is about a mouse and an owl who run a sweets shop.Patterson began by selling sweets，but he soon brought all the characters in the book to life-through products such as bags and soft toys.Today，the products are sold internationally，and Patterson has just secured investment to grow the brand further.At 12，his business had earned him 65，000 pounds（566，221 yuan）.
    In fact，Patterson's early school years were difficult，which he often described as "fire and ice".He didn't conform to （與....致） what his peers were like because he saw the world differently and was rarely invited to parties or play dates.He also had a stammer （口吃），which made him feel even lonelier.
    But these things didn't hold him back.To cheer himself up，Patterson gradually immersed himself in designing different animals and writing interesting stories about them.His characters started to become popular.To battle his slammer，he tried to articulate himself and even developed a love for public speaking，which eventually enabled him to speak on important stages，such as at the National Retail Business Awards for Teenagers.
    Storytelling has been a key element in Patterson's online business journey.Now at 15，Patterson wrote a business book called Young and Mighty，which describes his search for success and happiness and also covers some of the big issues that young people face：self-esteem，finding your voice，education and creativity.
    He has also set up an online academy with the same name.It is for children aged 10 to 14，who are starting to think about their future and what motivates them.He believes that passion is what drives people to achieve extraordinary things. "If you don't have a passion for what you do or love what you do.then you won't succeed，" he said.
