The Richest Kids In America





I read a very good book over the weekend. It was titled "The Richest Kids in America" by Mark Victor Hansen.

It is basically about a group of young people who used their creative ideas or gifts and made a lot of money. In most of the stories the young people did not set about going into business but they eventually saw a need in the market to fill. Their friends or family were then willing to pay them for their work and so started the business venture!

Although this book is looking at the entrepreneurial spirit of these youngsters it is a valuable book for all age groups to just look at what we are capable of in the raw form and put it into practise. The book really identifies how young people think and how as adults in our adult years we sometimes make things more complicated than they need to be.

The book contains some useful checklists to help get your thoughts and ideas down on paper. A key phase I got from this publication is "Implementation is what takes you from being a dreamer to an entrepreneur".

I recommend this book "The Richest Kids in America" for anyone seeking to start a business and it also is a good book to encourage our children to branch out and make their own money at an early age.
