Children are the future. Yeah. Right. We've heard that so many times that the expression has lost all meaning. But there is truth in it. Young people see the world with fresh eyes, looking past outmoded systems and prejudices. They embrace change, they dream up new ideas, and they do it all without batting an eyelash. Incidentally, these happen to be the qualities that set entrepreneurs apart. They also happen to be qualities that are routinely squashed in the public school system. Thinking small, being obedient, and coloring within the lines are considered virtues in the classroom and for anyone looking to get a job in a cubicle. Kids are missing out when no one tells them how much they could achieve by blazing their own trail. That's why we're so passionate about 'What it Takes to Make More Money than Your Parents'. The 25 amazing young people in this book don't just reveal the secrets to their success: they are living proof of the power that young people possess. All you need is an idea and an internet connection. The interviews speak for themselves. If you're holding this book, that means you've already taken the first step to realizing your full potential and making an impact in the world. Don't stop there. We can't wait to meet you at the top. In the mean time, we'd love your support in the form of your stories, suggestions, connections, or celebratory high-fives.

First, this book is (small type) Volume: 1 - Interviews 1-25. Not the 50 Interviews (large & bold type) in the title. That misrepresentation aside, the content does not live up to the hype: "The world's top young entrepreneurs share the secrets to their success". We ordered this book hoping to gain practical information on how to make money in the digital age. It would appear that their secret is not to tell their secrets. What a disappointment. The "Interviews..." are nothing more than a collection of softball questions, ex. "What would you be doing right now if we weren't talking?", "If you had to battle a giant, what weapon would you use?", "What do you want to be when you grow up?". We bought this book anticipating "how to" details for doing business on the internet. Instead, what we got was half the advertised interviews (25 not 50) which were nothing more than cheer-leading content with no useful information and worthless for anyone wanting to learn hard facts on how to "Make More Money..." It would appear that the only ones making money with this book are the authors. The lesson here is: don't buy this book expecting to learn anything useful. And, if you had to battle a giant... throw this book at it. Or, you could boar the giant into submission by reading him this book.

This book is a collection of success stories of people who made it big on the internet. While it was a good read there really wasn't much in the how to do it. This book is a collection of interviews of some great people but there is not much in the way of resources to use or getting started.

I want my kids to do better than I have, and faster than I have. What better way than encouraging them to read a book with interviews by young entrepreneurs? In 50 Interviews: Young Entrepreneurs - What it Takes to Make More Money than Your Parents (Vol. 1) these young people have determination and ideas that most older people would never have had the guts to follow. Let's face it, if you're over the age of 40 then you came from a time when life was a bit different than it is now. You went to school, got a job, worked your way up, then eventually retired.
Younger people have opportunities that we didn't. Sure, we can follow different paths now, but I think it's wonderful that this book was written so "kids" can see that it's possible to have a business, make money, and not have to slave away for 20-30 years at a job you merely tolerate or even hate.
Every parent should have their kids read this if they want them to be successful entrepreneurs.
