CORPUS CHRISTI — When they aren't out riding the waves, Hailey and Heather Hanson are imagining them.
Their father, Duane, knows its time for business when he sees the two sisters with colored pencils and a notebook.
Together the two girls have masterminded a new company, established a business plan, taken out a $2,000 bank loan with the help of their father, and met with a financial consultant to help them secure funds for college -- all this at ages 11 and 9.
"We went into the Wind and Wave Surf Shop and saw some clothes that were cool, but were too big," said Hailey, 11. "The guy who works there said we should come up with our own clothing line for young girls and we took him seriously."
Within a few weeks, Hailey and Heather had come up with some initial designs and colors they wanted on their shirts. They also came up with a company name -- Girls Taking Over, or GTO.
"We picked that name because at surfing competitions the guys are the ones who get the money prizes and all of the attention," Heather, 9, said with a smile. "But there are a lot of surfer girls out there, too, and we are going to take over."
The two girls have been surfing with their father since they were 2 years old. They have competed in numerous competitions and their office in their Padre Island home is decorated with their trophies and awards.
Although Hailey and Heather don't always agree as sisters, as business partners the two have a knack for putting things aside and making the best business decision, their father says.
"Sometimes one of them wants one color or one design and the other one wants something else, but they have been able to compromise," said Duane, a pharmaceutical sales representative.
The business started in the late summer and most of their T-shirts were sold at surfing competitions. In November the girls decided the business had to expand, but to do that they needed more money. Duane took them to see John Trice president of the island's Frost Bank.
"They were so cute and so smart," Trice said. "They knew they needed $2,000 to buy additional T-shirts and beanie hats and they asked me to teach them how to write deposit slips and checks."
Once the money was secured, the girls contacted an online store with wholesale T-shirt, sweater and beanie hat products.
They stay up late (10 p.m.) on the weekends working on their latest designs and have established a Web site at www.girlstakingover.net. Although the Web site is not finished, the girls have added their father's cell phone number so he can help coordinate orders with potential customers.
Duane spends most of his evenings taking calls for Girls Taking Over and ordering additional merchandise.
"The girls are in fifth and fourth grades, surf, participate in Taekwondo, work on the clothes designs so they are busy campers," he said. "But they love doing it all."
Prices for their merchandise range from $15 to $25.

I hope the best for these girls however I also hope they meet a guy named Dave Ramsey to make sure they start off right. He would have been proud of everything but the loan. Good luck girls!

I hope you all the best in your new business . It is great to see kids that have a goal like this at such a young age . good luck ... A nd I love the name , GTO

Here's hoping the best for them also but Dave Ramsey teaches home finances, not business. They should read anything by Robert Allen and Robert Kiyosaki.
Post 4 January 2, 2008 at 8:17 a.m. (Suggest removal)
They should only listen to their father and not the radio talk show gurus and writers of books.

hmmm, GTO. The kids may have to come up with some different branding as Pontiac may not let them get away with that.
Good Luck

I wish them all the best, they seem driven toward their goal. On the flip side of that coin, I hope they don't lose interest in it as it being a passing fantasy.
Post 7 January 2, 2008 at 8:56 a.m. (Suggest removal)
I agree with Post 2. Dave Ramsey, albeit intelligent, targets his show and books towards people who do not know how to handle their money. Many businesses need to have loans in order to become established, and Dave knows that - stocks and bonds are borrowed money, stocks not being guaranteed to yield a return. There's nothing wrong with borrowing money if you're responsible enough to pay it back on time, or even better: pay it back well before it's due. Of course, your average Dave Ramsey caller seeking advice doesn't understand that and they borrow well beyond their means. I personally use Dave Ramsey's overall message for my personal financial goals for the most part, but I also see it as being extreme which is necessary for people who cannot think for themselves.
Good luck to these young entrepreneurs. Starting entrepreneurial ventures at a young age should certainly pay off. Selling popcorn as a cub scout, helping with school fundraisers, and starting work at the age of 16 certainly did well for me, and so I have no doubts that these girls will do great in their future endeavors .

Yes Post 2 and 6, Dave Ramsey is awesome. I would advise the dad and mom to read his book. And when the girls are older they should also read his books and take his course. I have heard awesome things about Financial Peace University.
Post 12 January 2, 2008 at 2:02 p.m. (Suggest removal)
Post 3, Yes, their father is their ultimate adviser but it would be wise for him to become a voracious reader. You can learn something from these "writers of books."
I agree with the Kiyosaki recommendation. "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" would be a great place to start. Also, Texas A&M CC has resources available to help new businesses.
Post 10, Dave Ramsey is totally inappropriate for business.

Seriously? You want us to predict the future? Who knows the answer to that question. Not even the girls know!
Post 14 January 2, 2008 at 3:15 p.m. (Suggest removal)
Dave Ramsey makes money selling books. These girls with their father' help are selling clothes. Their father doesnt need to read anything. He's doing that's better than reading how to.
Post 15 January 2, 2008 at 3:21 p.m. (Suggest removal)
Some people seem to be promoting Dave Ramsey. These girls and their father have already consulted a financial advisor according to the article, what they need more reading material?

Do you people really buy into this garbage?
If this were really the case, we would see kids their age come up with this stuff all the time. Daddy's got a good scam going & we're so hung up on Feel-Good news many suck it up!
I personally have not seen any kids in the Barrios of Corpus Christi coming up with this stuff. So, Thank You Daddy :)
SIDEBAR: I've noticed One or Two of you would call a Train Wreak something good! Do you really think anyone really buys you Syrupy attempt to Candy-Coat the news everyday. You praise the Cops, the Counsel and the City on everything happening around here. Your idea of hiding your head in the sand and everything bad will go away so simplamatic.
Instead of let's all say nice things and everyone will think C.C. is Hunky Dory.
Why not face the fact! We need a lot of Improvement around here ! Many have serious questions about our Police, Our Town and how we are planning to fix this mess ! Many Town people will not listen to others who have lived in other places and have been though these issues before.
We have to Clean up our act around here, the world is passing us by.

Post 20: Don't be hating :) just because you didn't come up with this great idea.

Hiding your head in the sand is hardly a new idea.
If you seriously think this was those kids Idea, then you've been smoking crack!!

Well, good luck to them...I checked out their web page...not completed yet...and the spelling and grammar was pretty horrible. Well, if you want to dance with the big dogs, you should go by the rules and at least know the business basics... getting a loan is not everything........Maybe some adult can teach the business owners how to spell...That's why I deal with the American Bank.......

RE: Post 24
You gotta be on crack too!
No where in post #20 were the names "Anton Haley & Leeann Haley, alias Jaime Kenedeno & Dannyonted" mentioned.
In regards to anyone being Anglo. Why are you attempting to make the story about race. In addition, you asked the rest of us not to be Jealous..... again. I think you got a batch. Consider therapy !!

Post 25,
didn't i tell you two to behave already. Your temper and vulgar language is known by everyone already. It doesn't take a genious to figure out that your behind the mud talking.

Tiger Wood's daddy helped him out. Selena's daddy helped her out, the Tennis champs, Serena and ? their daddy helped them out, three examples only should help out the dimwitted that make up the bulk of Corpus Christians.
So, big time daddies, did you buy your kiddo a Dallas T-shirt so he can be like poppy?

Congratulations to DAD! He is trying to expand the girl's minds into business, selling something that is good seller at all times. T-Shirts, everyone wears them. If it doesn't work, so what? It was his money! Other kids just say "gimme,gimme" Good luck on this "growing company" & may you be blessed with your "growing horizon" to have a "growing business"-

CORPUS CHRISTI — When they aren't out riding the waves, Hailey and Heather Hanson are imagining them.

Post 10, Dave Ramsey is totally inappropriate for business.

Seriously? You want us to predict the future? Who knows the answer to that question. Not even the girls know!

Dave Ramsey makes money selling books. These girls with their father' help are selling clothes. Their father doesnt need to read anything. He's doing that's better than reading how to.

Some people seem to be promoting Dave Ramsey. These girls and their father have already consulted a financial advisor according to the article, what they need more reading material?

Do you people really buy into this garbage?
If this were really the case, we would see kids their age come up with this stuff all the time. Daddy's got a good scam going & we're so hung up on Feel-Good news many suck it up!
I personally have not seen any kids in the Barrios of Corpus Christi coming up with this stuff. So, Thank You Daddy :)
SIDEBAR: I've noticed One or Two of you would call a Train Wreak something good! Do you really think anyone really buys you Syrupy attempt to Candy-Coat the news everyday. You praise the Cops, the Counsel and the City on everything happening around here. Your idea of hiding your head in the sand and everything bad will go away so simplamatic.
Instead of let's all say nice things and everyone will think C.C. is Hunky Dory.
Why not face the fact! We need a lot of Improvement around here ! Many have serious questions about our Police, Our Town and how we are planning to fix this mess ! Many Town people will not listen to others who have lived in other places and have been though these issues before.
We have to Clean up our act around here, the world is passing us by.

Post 20: Don't be hating :) just because you didn't come up with this great idea.

Hiding your head in the sand is hardly a new idea.
If you seriously think this was those kids Idea, then you've been smoking crack!!

Well, good luck to them...I checked out their web page...not completed yet...and the spelling and grammar was pretty horrible. Well, if you want to dance with the big dogs, you should go by the rules and at least know the business basics... getting a loan is not everything........Maybe some adult can teach the business owners how to spell...That's why I deal with the American Bank.......

RE: Post 24
You gotta be on crack too!
No where in post #20 were the names "Anton Haley & Leeann Haley, alias Jaime Kenedeno & Dannyonted" mentioned.
In regards to anyone being Anglo. Why are you attempting to make the story about race. In addition, you asked the rest of us not to be Jealous..... again. I think you got a batch. Consider therapy !!

Tiger Wood's daddy helped him out. Selena's daddy helped her out, the Tennis champs, Serena and ? their daddy helped them out, three examples only should help out the dimwitted that make up the bulk of Corpus Christians.
So, big time daddies, did you buy your kiddo a Dallas T-shirt so he can be like poppy?

Congratulations to DAD! He is trying to expand the girl's minds into business, selling something that is good seller at all times. T-Shirts, everyone wears them. If it doesn't work, so what? It was his money! Other kids just say "gimme,gimme" Good luck on this "growing company" & may you be blessed with your "growing horizon" to have a "growing business"-
