“Mr. Cory’s success comes not only from his delicious treats, but from his incredibly positive attitude, big imagination and drive to succeed.”

Do you know any 10-year-old CEOs? Me neither. Well, not until I read about Mr. Cory.

He’s the owner of his very own cookie company, Mr. Cory's Cookies, and according to his website he makes his cookies “with love and care-- no preservatives.” As a result, his cookies should be “consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.”

Since when did any American company care about "optimal freshness?" How many preservatives to Americans consume a day? Probably hoards, but if you're eating Mr. Cory's cookies, you won't be.

That’s right, he’s only ten. And yeah, while that does make me feel a little bad about myself, I’m mostly amazed with this kid who started a company because he wanted to make the world better for the people around him.

To put it mildly: I’m not surprised he’s had so much success. And he’s changing the world. At ten years old.

But that’s the thing. In addition to his shimmering, youthful entrepreneurial spirit, Mr. Cory also has business ethics to boot. He cares about his customers.

On the about page of Mr. Cory’s Cookies website, he's quick to state that his “Delectable cookies are all natural and made from high-quality ingredients-- not wacky ingredients with names that you can’t pronounce.”

Thanks Mr. Cory. As though I didn’t love you enough already, now you’re concerned about making sure I’m consuming real cane sugar rather than glucose, and that my cookies aren’t just delicious but also decent for my body.

So how did this happen? How did a boy become the owner of a successful cookie company, when all his classmates were busy coloring with chalk on the playground? How did Mr. Cory end up owning a company that produces and sells cookies, when most boys his age are content to just eat them?

“[Mr. Cory’s] passion, combined with a love of treats and an entrepreneurial spirit, led Mr. Cory to be the owner of Mr. Cory’s cookies at just 10 years old,” states Mr. Cory’s Cookies webpage.

Mr. Cory’s mother helped too: she encouraged him to continue selling hot cocoa to save money for college-- a business idea which quickly sprouted up other tenants. Soon Mr. Cory was selling lemonade and cookies to, in the words of mrcoryscookies.com “expand options for his loyal customers.”

Because every option at Mr. Cory’s stand was only $1, word quickly spread about the delectability of his all natural cookies. And once word spreads, all bets were off and a star was born.

After Mr. Cory’s cookies hit its booming stage, Mr. Cory and his mother spent months testing cookie recipes until the day they hit the jackpot, and according to mrcoryscookies.com discovered, “the perfect chocolate chip cookies,” which were “an instant hit.”

If you’re super health conscious, though, and even all-natural chocolate chip cookies aren’t enough to sway you to the land of Mr. Cory’s Cookies, check it out.

Mr. Cory has already considered your tendency to eat healthy food only, and he’s marketed a sugar-free oatmeal raisin cookie. And he's an actor. And he's only ten.

Mr. Cory is probably better at what he does (living his life) than you are at what you do (living your life.) That's just the fact, let's face it.

The good news is you'll be able to buy Mr. Corey's cookies on his website soon, so check back to see when that actually goes down.
