You Go-Getter, YouToday's teens aren't waiting for a degree to start a business. Ain't America beautiful?

当我还是个孩子的时候,我做了很多骑自行车s, listeningto music and passing notes during class. Now, I'm guessingyou've done your fair share of those things, too. Butthere's something that makes you very different from me, alongwith many of my peers: You haven't even hit your twenties yet,and you're already in business, or at least thinking aboutstarting one.

This fascinates me. In fact, it fascinates all of us atEntrepreneur.com. We read these stories about 15-year-olds makingtheir first million in sales or 17-year-olds hitting up their bankfor a loan--and getting it--and we have to wonder what it is thatdrives these young entrepreneurs.

I suppose it's the same thing that drives any entrepreneur:the desire for freedom. When I was growing up, it didn't reallyoccur to me to become an entrepreneur. It just wasn't somethingthat was presented as an option while I was in high school. I findthat unfortunate. But I'm glad that times have changed. Youhave within your hands the power to control your future--how muchmoney you will make, how you will make it, when you will do it. Andyou are the boss of you. How awesome to be able to say that in yourteens.
