We’re excited to welcome young entrepreneurs to our ninth GABWYEA competition. This year, we received many requests for application forms in August. We’re excited to hear from applicants early because it gives us time to answer questions and discuss details. 

Please email entrepreneurs@getabiggerwagon.com to request an application form.  

NOTE: If you haven’t received an application form within two days of your request, please ask again via the contact information on our website: www.getabiggerwagon.com.

We are suggesting this because we have received a couple of spoof requests; however, I don’t want to miss a real young entrepreneur.   

We are also on Facebook and Instagram. 

About the photo: 

In the photo, Gord is straddling his brand-new S90 motorcycle, which his 14-year-old friend, the local Honda dealer, sold him. Gord learned a lot from this friend. He also learned from his father, who is sitting on the motorcycle too. In the book titled Get an Even Bigger Wagon, this story is titled “Driving Underage”. It is one of Maureen’s favourite business stories. This friend didn’t realize the impact he had on Gord until they told him years later. Peers can be mentors.
