Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Author
Young Millionaires is a book that invites you to believe. You'll have to look elsewhere for details on writing a business plan or setting up your accounting system. If you want to know about your chances to succeed in business consult a psychic. This book is not about business mechanics and it's not about common sense.
In Young Millionaires you'll meet 101 entrepreneurs, all aged 40 and younger, whose companies have reached the magic million-dollar mark and beyond. They've taken many roads to get there. Some struck it rich before they got their bearings; others hammered away at one idea after another until they finally struck gold. Some had sophisticated backgrounds in finance and sales; others started while still in high school. There are dreamers, pragmatist, wanders, tinkers and innovators here. Some were born to the task of building a business, others learned by trail and error.
They all have one thing in common: At some point in their lives, they stepped out of their familiar worlds and into the unknown. This book is about taking that step and about the adventures that inevitably follow.
What emerges in Young Millionaires is a vision of what's possible in life. Why did we focus a book on young millionaires? Because they embody the boldest entrepreneurship has to offer. These folks featured in our book didn't wait until "just the right moment." They simply acted!
The entrepreneurs in this book succeeded by doing more than they ever dreamed they could by working longer and harder by mustering talents they never knew they had by making personal sacrifices they didn't think they were capable of and by conjuring a faith so powerful, no obstacle could diminish it.
Are you a would-be entrepreneur? Did you recently launch your business? This book, Young Millionaire has a powerful message for you- not only can you do it but you should do it NOW!! Get your copy Young Millionaires today and start your own journey today.

Inspiring stories of "ordinary" people turned entrepreneurs,
By cyrusg@silcon.com (Los Altos, C A) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Young Millionaires: Inspiring Stories to Ignite Your Entreprenurial Dreams (Paperback)
Overall, I liked it. I would recommend buying it or at least renting it from the library and reading it. You could easily read it in one or two days. If you are, or ever had the idea of starting something on your own, this is a great book to fuel those dreams and ambitions. It showcases a wide array of people from different backgrounds who successfully started businesses. One of the nice aspects of the book are the pictures of the entrepreneurs. They give you a sense of the person's character when you read the chapters devoted to them and help you visualize what their business activity may have been like. I think it could have been better if the interviews and segments on each business were a bit longer with more in depth insights. To be fair, the authors claim that in the intro that their goal is to ignite a spark within the reader toward jumpstarting a business idea. To that effect, their book is worthwhile especially since you can finish it quickly. Throughout this title, I kept slamming my fist on the counter after reading each segment on an entrepreneur thinking to myself, "Damn! If that person could do it with so little, why not me?" You get the picture at the end of the book that there really is nothing holding you back but yourself.

Interesting read,

This review is from: Young Millionaires: Inspiring Stories to Ignite Your Entreprenurial Dreams (Paperback)
This book is about 101 successful businesses and how they got started. Although it does not contain details on how to start a business, it contains lots of good ideas and lots of inspiration, two important qualities of a entrepeneur. You will enjoy reading some better known businesses like Terra Chips as well as lesser known ones like Three Dog Bakery who makes gourmet biscuits for dogs. It's amazing a dog biscuit company makes over a million dollars a year, but since this book is about young millionaires, every company profiled in this book makes over this amount.

A Source of Inspiration,
By A Customer
This review is from: Young Millionaires: Inspiring Stories to Ignite Your Entreprenurial Dreams (Paperback)
This book is a real inspiration. What it is really saying is that if you have an idea that's crazy enough, that's probably your million-dollar idea. You just have to believe in it, applying both reason and faith. And you can succeed. There are certainly other books out there with more practical information, but this book can start you dreaming. So go out, rent a sailboat, put on your Duke Ellington tapes, pour yourself a glass of cranberry juice, light a cigar, take off your socks...and dream!
