Product Description

The hottest teen entrepreneurs reveal what it takes to turn an idea into major money!

The founders of Millionaire Blueprints magazine, the award-winning Texas-based entrepreneurial magazine, know that teens are savvier than ever and that they possess the ingenuity and technology to take their ideas from conception to million-dollar products. Through their spin-off magazine, Millionaire Blueprints Teen, Tom Spinks, Kimberly Spinks-Burleson, and Lindsay Spinks-Shepherd have been offering teens the know-how and insider techniques to take them beyond the lemonade stand and headfirst into real-life business.

Now, in their latest book, Prepare to Be a Teen Millionaire, the authors have selected the best advice and teen examples from previous issues of Millionaire Blueprints Teen to create this one-stop compendium. Prepare to Be a Teen Millionaire features the true-life stories and struggles of – and lessons learned by – teens across the country who have successfully created businesses. It offers an array of business ideas, information, and step-by-step detailed instructions on finding funding, marketing, and manufacturing. The result is a tried-and-true 'blueprint' that assists creative and ambitious teens in fulfilling their dreams and becoming the entrepreneurs of the future.

3.0 out of 5 stars I'm a little disappointed :(, May 31, 2008
I am a youth & teen entrepreneur coach (18 and under) and was very happy to see a current book on the market for this target group.

The Good:
The book is resource intensive.
It has a diverse group of successful young entrepreneurs featured in the case studies from both the online and offline business world (it would have been nice to see more teens featured).


The Bad:
Basically the stories and case studies in the book might be ideal for the magazine (from which it is based) but I don't think they translate well to a book (not that they couldn't, it would just need to be reworked). Because of this the book is not a good 'read through' book. I think it is more suitable as a reference book for when you reach certain stages of your business. And with many of the businesses mentioned they may have some barriers to entry, namely financial or specialized knowledge.

It is not a blueprint in the sense that after you read it you can create a business from start to finish which is what I thought when I read the cover. There is no real starting point or step by step instructions. It is actually a lot of mini blueprints that vary from industry to industry and individual to individual. It leaves way too many unanswered questions and disconnected thoughts. So the reader is going to have to be really resourceful in figuring out some pretty advanced concepts or to figure out what happens "before or after". Even if they are technologically savvy and using the internet as a resource tool I don't know how easy it would be for them to 'connect the dots'.

Additionally, the authors don't endorse or recommend ANY of the companies they list as resources and the book is very resource intensive. I understand the importance from a liability perspective but at the same time if you are writing something especially geared towards "young people" you should probably not list it if you don't have pre existing relationship or experience. Not all companies and organizations embrace teen entrepreneurs or take them seriously. While such is life, I think the book could have been a little bit more 'warm' and 'approachable' in preparing them for this reality.

The Ugly:
I am a fast reader and tend to scan but my teen proteges (even those with less than spectacular grades ;-)) immediately pointed out major typos in the first 3 pages- bussines (business), revoluntionary (revolutionary) effect instead of affect and shool (school)... While it is understandable you can read a manuscript a million times over and still miss obvious things, you can't have 2 typos side by side in the first sentence. The reason that I put this in the 'ugly' category is because the book was written by an Editor in Chief of and a Senior Editor. And 4 of the typos are in the first 2 pages and there are subsequent typos throughout the book. So it makes me think that someone was just sloppy in the finishing details. It doesn't take away from the book but for some it may take away from their credibility. Hopefully they will fix this in subsequent printings.


If you are an aspiring or emerging young entrepreneur (or the parent of one) I would still advise that you buy the book because there is still plenty that can be learned from it when you reach certain stages of your business.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, June 5, 2008
have the heart of an entrepreneur. I personally believe that every young person should own their own business in their youth. From a lemonade stand to selling candy for camp to running an ebay store, there are so many life lessons to be learned when a child follows their entrepreneurial spirit. This book encourages teens to step out and act on their ideas and develop them into actual businesses. It is full of stories of young entrepreneurs that will inspire you to follow your dream as a teen or an adult. Excellent!

5.0 out of 5 stars Every Young Person Should Own A Business, March 26, 2008
I personally believe every young person should own a business at some point in their youth. The lessons learned are priceless and can be applied in every aspect of their future. It was my own entrepreneurial journeys that helped shape me as a person, and in countless ways have opened doors that I could have never imagined.

This book is a tool that exposes the stories of young entrepreneurs across the country from various walks of life. These same stories are the ones that will inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs that will not only make an impact around the block, but around the world.
