Need To Drive Child Entrepreneurship

Reinforcing the child entrepreneur message, we have brought you three great stories, including the current one: Caleb Sima, a security wizard, started out at sixteen. Two previous stories, Kevin Sproles of Volusion and Scott Wainner of ResellerRatings, are equally inspiring.

It is deeply disturbing to see so many kids returning from college and hanging around without direction, and NYT and WSJ trying to explain why kids these days are refusing to grow up.

If you have kids or know kids who need to be groomed in the entrepreneurship path, we’d be happy to have them in One Million by One Million. Please send them along!

CS: I was born in Hawaii and moved to Atlanta when I was seven. I grew up in Atlanta and did not leave there until last year, when I moved to San Francisco. When I was a kid I got into a lot of trouble. I was very rebellious, and I was constantly grounded. I was not allowed to watch TV or play with my friends. Most of the time I was stuck in my room and was only allowed to read books. Read the full article »
