Running a successful small business is hard. But these  kid entrepreneurs are showing that it’s just child’s play.

Leanna Archer decided she wanted to become a hair care mogul at the ripe old age of 11.

”The idea came to me when I received tons of compliments about my hair and I knew it was thanks to my homemade products,” said Archer. ”I had nothing to lose, because I figured that if it didn’t work out I still had my whole life ahead of me.”

Archer’s company, Leanna’s Inc., makes eight organic, hair products, which include hair dressings, hair butters and shampoos. Her secret formulas have been passed down through her family for generations and are free of sodium lauryl sulfate and parabens, chemicals which are considered health risks. `’Our products contains no oil filters, no synthetic ingredients, no chemically-engineered ingredients,” she said.

Last year, the company had revenues of more than $100,000. The Long Island entrepreneur expects that number to increase to more than $300,000 by year-end. She is in the process of building an army of sales representatives across the United States.

Her advice to small business owners: ”All new entrepreneurs should know that mistakes are a big part of success.”

The amount of Internet traffic of the world will quadruple by 2015 as the number of networked devices surpasses 15 billion, according to a report from Cisco.

The dramatic jump in Internet traffic will occur as a result of four key factors, Cisco says.

1. More devices. Driven by demand for mobile phones, tablets, smart appliances, and other connected gadgets, the number of Internet-connected devices will be twice the number of people on the planet in another four years.
2. More people. By 2015, almost 3 billion people will be surfing the Net, more than 40 percent of the world’s total population.
3. Faster speeds. The average broadband speed is expected to jump to 28 megabits per second in 2015, up from 7 Mbps now.
4. More videos. In another four years, 1 million minutes of video, or 764 days’ worth, will cross the Internet every second.

Computers accounted for 97 percent of all traffic last year. That number will drop to 87 percent by 2015, as more mobile devices hop online. As a result, mobile Internet traffic around the world will jump 26 times, to 75 exabytes per year or 6.3 exabytes per month in 2015.

The number of people accessing online video will increase by about 500 million users in another four years.
