Founder, TJ Lab
Meet TJ
One idea. One diary. One young entrepreneur.
TJ is a 13-year-old entrepreneur from the Western Cape, South Africa.
Instead of simply asking for pocket money, he wanted to create a product, sell it and learn how a real business works. My South African Diary 2027 is the result — his first product through TJ Lab.
TJ believes young people don't have to wait until they're adults to turn their ideas into something real. Through TJ Lab, he wants to learn, create, build — and hopefully inspire other young people to follow their dreams too.
Dream big. Start young.
From an idea to a business
Every order is part of the lesson.
It started with a simple idea: create something useful, sell it, and learn how a real business works. Every order helps TJ learn about design, marketing, customer service and money — and shows that you can start small and still dream big.
- The ideaA practical, good-value diary for everyday life.
- The designHundreds of pages planned, tested and refined.
- The printA real, printed product you can hold.
- Your orderThe part where the business becomes real.
