Read previewThis as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Gab Waller, a 30-year-old fashion sourcer in Los Angeles. In June 2018, I started my company as a fashion sourcer, although at the time, I referred to myself as a personal shopper. I serve high-profile clients, private clients with high discretionary incomes, and younger clients looking to purchase their first luxury item. My specialty is sourcing high-end fashion pieces that are sold out and in high demand, especially when it comes to footwear. I understand that shopping for luxury fashion can feel intimidating, so with my business I aim to eliminate that.

The red carpet was set up in a room adorned with lanterns and red and orange garlands and floral arrangements. It’s not every day that Kim and Khloé Kardashian, John Cena and Boris Johnson gather in Mumbai for an Indian wedding. Mr. Zala was one of about 100 media members clamoring next to the red carpet, not a common addition at most weddings. But given the sheer amount of celebrities present, including Bollywood superstars, several members of the Indian cricket team, former prime ministers and billionaire businessmen, and the fabulous Indian clothes on display, a runway seemed in order.

He was able to scale the business to more than $600,000 in revenue by 2018, when he graduated from high school. Before the internet, starting a business was a serious hassle. The problem wasn't that people weren't interested in starting a business: A 2016 EY study found that 62% of 18- to 34-year-olds had toyed with venturing into business ownership. That has made starting a business all the more appealing — and affordable — for prospective entrepreneurs. And with the plethora of digital tools we have today, starting a business is more accessible than ever.
