Steve Mariotti, a former New York City high-school teacher, founded the nonprofit National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship after he discovered that students who launched commercial ventures tended to eventually blossom in numerous areas. In this updated edition of The Young Entrepreneur’s Guide to Starting and Running a Business, he lays out the critically relevant basics on everything from recognizing opportunities and researching markets to handling finances and protecting ideas–all organized and written specifically for the younger reader. Brief case studies and inspiring tales of notables who started young, including Russell Simmons of Def Jam, Tom Monaghan of Domino’s Pizza, and Steve Perlman of WebTV, offer encouragement. New chapters on technology (explaining, for instance, ways that computers and the Net provide competitive advantages) and philanthropy (“ethical business behavior is not only morally right, it’s good for business”) bring Mariotti’s advice into the 21st century. No single volume can provide all the details necessary to get an idea up and running, but this one contains enough information and stimulation to move practically anyone off the couch and into the beginning stages of entrepreneurship. –Howard Rothman

Upstart Start-Ups!: How 34 Young Entrepreneurs Overcame Youth, Inexperience, and Lack of Money to Create Thriving Businesses http://workathomebookstore.com/upstart-start-ups-how-34-young-entrepreneurs-overcame-youth-inexperience-and-lack-of-money-to-create-thriving-businesses/ http://workathomebookstore.com/upstart-start-ups-how-34-young-entrepreneurs-overcame-youth-inexperience-and-lack-of-money-to-create-thriving-businesses/#comments Fri, 28 Jan 2011 11:56:10 +0000 Blogmaster http://workathomebookstore.com/upstart-start-ups-how-34-young-entrepreneurs-overcame-youth-inexperience-and-lack-of-money-to-create-thriving-businesses/

Product Description
You’re young and ambitious, with a great idea for a new software program, downtown music ‘zine, or a better-than-Snapple beverage–but how do you turn your dream concept into a thriving business?

Forget the ultra-conservative suits who scoffed when you brought your hot idea to their door! As Fortune magazine’s Ron Lieber shows, you can actually turn your youth, inexperience, and lack of money to your advantage and capitalize on your assets to trump the corporate system, be your own boss, and turn your entrepreneurial vision into a reality.

Based on interviews with more than thirty young, independent entrepreneurs who have developed some of today’s hottest–even revolutionary–companies and products, Upstart Start-Ups! provides essential tips and information that will enable you to get your own Nantucket Nectars or Magnetic Poetry off the ground. Check out:

  • The myths and realities you need to know about starting a business when you’re under 30
  • How to generate your first “brainstorm” and how to act on a good idea
  • How to overcome the stigmas of youth and inexperience and make your age work to your advantage
  • How to develop a realistic business plan
  • Where and how to get the financial backing you need
  • How to establish credibility for your business or product with consumers
  • Models that have proved successful, and how to apply them to your own vision

    Twenty-six-year-old Ron Lieber writes for Fortune magazine and is the coauthor of the New York Times business bestseller Taking Time Off. He appears regularly on national television and radio to discuss career issues, corporate management, and his recent columns.Amazon.com Review
    What do Dave Kapell of Magnetic Poetry, Amy Nye Wolf of Altitunes, and the brothers Gardner of the Motley Fool have in common? They’re all, says Ron Lieber, founders of promising companies and on the road to success despite youth, skimpy track records, and minimal finances. In Upstart Start-Ups, Leiber–a twentysomething who snagged his first cover story in Fortune at age 24–explains how these aspiring moguls formed the ventures that have allowed them to strike out on their own in such impressive fashion. Leiber is both blunt and inspiring as he weaves their stories around solid advice aimed at readers who might like to follow in their footsteps. Tackling the process from idea formation, he describes finding and living with a business partner, capitalizing a venture without selling your soul, standing out in a crowded marketplace, and calling a meeting even if you’ve never called one before. He also devotes a chapter to the art of summoning the appropriate backup troops when truly necessary, regardless of whether that help must be secured from family members or professional gurus. –Howard Rothman
