This video was so full of hype and materialism that my 2 teens out an out laughed at this low class attempt. Full of silly useless graphics for the sake of graphics and absolutely no real meaty information. The self proclaimed "Millionaire" who produces and stars in the videos is "Gross" as my 16 year old daughter puts it. Starting the 28 minutes of fluff & flash by rolling up in a 20year old Rolls Royce and having a female model as a chauffer is not my idea of how to instill the entrepreneurial spirit in our youth. The outside of the video box promises to teach saving and other worthy diciplines and waves it of in less that 2 minutes of pontificating by the adult star of the video. This video was made to showcase Mr. Goforth's wardrobe and possibly get parents of teens to use his financial planning services. END

I am a teacher and hesitated about purchasing this video after reading the review posted. I decided to purchase despite the review and am very glad I did. The video was energetic and captured the attention of my class. The accompanying workbook was very helpful in planning and promoting a business for young people. Because the video featured young people that had started their own business my class decided to start a business as a class project! This video also discussed saving and investing money which is very important to business longevity.

I already commented (agreeing with the gentleman who had the 16 yr old who thought Mr. Goforth was "gross").
What a joke! Thank goodness I watched this before showing it to my 10th grade economics class!
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!

I am an Economics teacher. I purchased this product used because I wanted a short video to supplement my unit on business decisions and entrepreneurship. However, this is primarily a video on money management and investing. Becoming a teenage entrepreneur was barely even mentioned - it tells the viewer to look in the workbook (that didn't come with my video). Also, I agree with the prior review about the weird 80's style graphics - they were often distracting. The concepts are very broad and would be suitable for high school, however the graphics and music are so dated they would likely only appeal to elementary school students. I was quite disappointed by this video and would not recommend it.
