So many people end up bored with their jobs, stuck in the corporate grind, never following their true passions. As wildly successful young entrepreneur Cameron Johnson shows, you don't have to live that way. We've entered a new age of entrepreneurship, with the Web making it easier than ever to start and run your own company. As Johnson's remarkable story reveals, the entrepreneurial way of life is a great way to make sure you love what you do -- and it offers the potential to achieve extraordinary success by following your gut instincts and going for what you really want. What about the risks? Don't you need lots of money? Don't most start-ups fail? Johnson shares his essential secrets to entrepreneurial success that show you how he got into the life at very low risk, and, with very little money, took an idea that excited him and ran with it, achieving great success and satisfaction with businesses he loved. He didn't have an MBA; he didn't even have a college degree. But he had learned the simple yet vital secrets he reveals. Cameron Johnson is a seriously happy entrepreneur who started his first business when he was nine with $50 and a home computer. Before he'd turned twenty-one he'd started twelve successful businesses and was offered $10 million in venture capital to grow his hot Web company CertificateSwap.com -- praised by Entrepreneur magazine as one of the Web businesses helping the tech industry get its groove back -- even bigger. He has never taken out a loan or racked up any debt, and every one of his businesses has been highly profitable -- so profitable that he made his first million before graduating from high school, and he's put away enough cash so that he could retire today. But that's the last thing on earth he'd want to do; he's much too happy starting up new companies. Through the story of his own impressive career so far, in You Call the Shots, Johnson takes you behind the scenes of entrepreneurial success and empowers you to hit the ground running with your own great business idea, no matter how young you are or how little money you have to invest.

 Rating:  - Great Book!!!Excellent Book to know the steps to a Successful Business!!! I Recommend it to every1... Rating: - Excellent business book no matter what your business experienceAs a 44 year old entrepreneur with 20 plus years experience, I got ideas out of this book. I admired Cameron's confidence and self motivation. I respected his low profile, modest approach to his lifestyle and his growing wealth. Cameron is responsible, thoughtful and generous with his life and his money. I think he is a great role model for any kid OR adult who wants to start a business and not let it go to his head. I especially enjoyed the savy business advice from a 20 something who is doing ... Read More Rating:  - Good Read only One FlawThis book is great for anyone looking to start an internet business with limited capital. Cameron seems to know what will work online and what doesn't. As you read the book you start brewing some of your own ideas. If you have any interest in online businesses this is a book you definitely should read. The only flaw was the fact that he never maintained any of his businesses. He would build them, get as many customers as he could over a process of a year or so. Then sell them. Kind of ... Read More Rating: - A Must Read for Entrepreneurs of All AgesI learned about this book while watching an episode of Donny Deutsch's, The Big Idea, on CNBC. Cameron is now in his early 20's, and has already started over 12 successful businesses in his young life! As a 29 year old, with 12 years of experience, I marvel at his story and was extremely happy to read his story in his book. Talk about giving me hope!!! I think we professionals make things much harder than they really are sometimes and Cameron's book showed me how easy things can be with great ideas, ...

The other CDs will play but the content was boring and the guy just talked about how great he was. Don't waste your money. |
