A 21-year-old entrepreneur has told how she affords a luxurious lifestyle despite only working three hours a day.
Ange Eb, from Switzerland, says she’s always had a nose for business; even as a young child she made and sold her own lip balms, before going on to run her own bakery business and eventually landing on dropshipping.
For those who don’t know, dropshipping is a form of retail business where the seller accepts customers' orders without keeping stock on hand; instead, it buys them from a third party.

Ange is able to work from her bedroom and says she only has to put in three hours a day to make enough for a comfortable lifestyle while also sending cash back to her family in Cameroon.
Ange explained: "When I was a little girl, I always wanted to be a CEO, I just wanted to run something.
“I started early, I was knocking on people's doors offering babysitting services at 14, and then started making and selling lip balms at 16.
"I had a cake baking business too as I was obsessed with baking, but I was doing it whilst still working full-time job so [I] started getting so overwhelmed. I have kept my [bakery] business but have reduced the workload.

"Then I found out about dropshipping. I started this a year ago after seeing a video about it on YouTube.
“I’m buying trending products from China and reselling them on my own website. I learnt how to market and advertise myself.
"It can be hard sometimes as you always have to find products to sell, but I love it. I made money without needing to leave my home, I couldn't believe it.”

Ange says the nature of her job means she can work wherever she is in the world.
She adds: "I can work from anywhere in the world as long as I have my Laptop and WiFi.
“The best place I’ve worked from was Bali, I was answering emails with breath-taking views over the ocean - it was an experience for sure.

"Ever since I’ve started dropshipping I’ve taken my laptop and iPad to places I’ve wanted to visit for so long but could only dream of previously.
"The very first trip I booked for myself with my dropshipping income was in 2021, when I went to Duabi.
“Since then, I’ve also been able to work from, Bali, Miami, LA, Paris, London and Milan.
"I’ve helped my mum and also my family in Cameroon out who I now send money to. I am so happy I can do that now."
