Product Description
Product Description
Conversations with Teen Entrepreneurs profiles three successful businesses created by teenagers. These companies were created during the booming 90's, have weathered the Internet bubble burst and are still succeeding today.
The book is a fascinating read to see how teenagers are able to overcome the age barrier and succeed in a field normally reserved for adults. Each entrepreneur has his own unique story about balancing work and school, convincing customers and potential employees to trust them, and even, in the midst of it all, having a successful social life.
The book is a must read for anyone who wants to successfully start their own business. Advice and tips on overcoming obstacles, developing marketing strategies, and learning to improve sales are just some of the tips and techniques readers will take away with them.
Every entrepreneur faces nearly insurmountable challenges. However, these entrepreneurs faced twice as many challenges--and they succeeded. By learning the secrets to their success, you will be given the tools to help surpass any challenge.
And if not, you'll be amazed by the stories these teens have to say. Honest.

A true guideline for Teenage Go-Getters
28 Nov 2003
Format:Paperback
The author has a true understanding of the material and his advice will surely prove to be invaluable to any teen interested in starting his or her own business. I find this book to be a great starting point in the quest toward self-employment and financial success through entrepreneurship.
Readers are treated to stories based on Cathers' own experience as well as the experiences of three other teenage entreprenuers. The opinions presented during the roundtable discussion (2nd part of the book) give insights which help ease the struggle of balancing school, friends, family, and business.
