What's so hard about a kid selling candy. I sold candy in my Middle School and High School even though it wasn't allowed. I was the candy man and everyone knew it. Most kids aren't trying to build a Candy Empire or even know what they are doing takes guts. Some kids just wanted a better option like myself. Eventually I stopped selling candy to go into programming artificial intelligence for video games, which I eventually stopped doing because I was not a great programmer and decided to run my own business which is doing great.

Was me selling candy the only reason I decided to run my own business eventually or was the fact that I had the mindset to sell the candy just who I was destined to be?

I can't answer that but I will say that when you look back on it at a later time you can say hey, I was business minded even as a child and didn't know it. I think that is where these stories come from.
