Excellent business book no matter what your business experience

As 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 business differently than I did, but who is on top of how the world is changing. His insights into doing business globally I found fascinating as I still tend to see the business world as a local enterprise...it isn't anymore!!! Great easy informative read.

A Must Read for Entrepreneurs of All Ages

I 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, some work, and some focus. This read was the catalyst I needed to put some ideas I've had floating around in my head into place. Two new companies have evolved from what I learned-launch dates are less than a month away in both cases!

While an advertising executive for a major firm, I've always had something going on the side. Spent many years in multi-level marketing (learned a ton, but never made much), have run an online bookstore, and have a vending company today. While I've done so-so in my ventures, Cameron has been able to think "outside the box" and turn several of his ideas into ventures that would take care of most families for years and years to come! What's helped him take things to the next level while so many (like myself) have done not so. Part of it is his age and his ability to take risks without having to worry about a family to feed. Another is his ability to see opportunity where others can't. Finally, his willingness to find people who's abilities complement his own.

Though 41, I can't wait to look back of this next year and see how far I've come because of Cameron's mentoring words in this book! A MUST READ for all entrepreneur's, those who hope to be, or those who's kids have the desire to start their own businesses. Who's the next Cameron going to be?!!

Good Read only One Flaw

This 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 an ADD approach, he seems to get bored quickly. It would have been more interesting if he had kept a few of them over the years to see how they could grow. To top it off he went back to working for his father at the dealership, which was a big surprise. After owning your own businesses you would think he would want to do his own thing. I am sure he wants to keep the family business in the family, just strange that he didn't keep any of the other businesses afloat while going back to the dealership.

Like I said if you want to run an internet based company, its a fantastic read. If you want to know how to flip businesses its also a good read. Inspiring guy with a lot of creative ideas.
