16-year-old car detailing entrepreneur empowering his classmates.

CYPRESS, Texas -- At 16-years-old, Donovan Blackshire is already a seasoned entrepreneur. He owns 3Point Mobile Auto Detailing.

"It's not your regular car wash. We're getting into every nook and cranny. We're not going to skipping any spots," Blackshire said.

His mom, Amber, says he's been interested in business and finances for nearly a decade.

Donovan grew serious about 3Point Mobile Auto Detailing when he learned his friend needed financial help.
