Since 50% of Gen Y see entrepreneurship as a legitimate and safe career choice, expect to hear more of these amazing stories of success. At 22 he could retire but he is not finished yet.

Beginning at the tender age of nine, Cameron started his first business and before graduating high school, he was recognized as one of the most successful teenage entrepreneurs in the world. At the age of fifteen, Cameron was the youngest person to become an Advisory Board Member to a Japan-based company. That same year, a best-selling Japanese author wrote a biography book on his life. Over the last six years, Cameron has given more than one-hundred speeches worldwide and at the age of 17, he was the Keynote Speaker with Michael Dell at the Youth International Technology Summit in Austin, Texas.

More Stories of Young Entrepreneurs

Here are a bunch more stories of young entrepreneurs I found at the Canadian Youth Business Foundation (CYBF), which is a national charity providing start-up mentoring, financing and business resources for young Canadians, age 18-34, to create their own successful businesses.

I am nicknaming Gen Y entrepreneurs as the “C” generation, C for Confidence. Perhaps I have been so busy living my middle age, baby boomer lifestyle that I totally missed these inspiring entrepreneurial success stories.

More Inspiring Young Entrepreneur Stories and Resources

There is an amazing amount of great stories, resources, and lessons that we can all learn from these young adults.

Reverse mentoring anyone?

Powerful Planning Made Simple

January 31, 2007

Clock FaceBeing a bit of a planning geek, you know I love it when someone takes a complex subject and simplifies it. Well this young man, Emmanuel Oluwatosin, provides excellent points on planning but also on managing a business. Make sure to check out his short and insightful post.

Develop a plan in clear detail and prepare in earnest. Plan the action you must take to attain the goals. While the effort required to reach each sub-goal should be great enough to challenge you, it should not be so great or unreasonable as to discourage you. Do not plan to reach too many goals all at one time. Establish priorities. Clarify exactly what your goal is and set a deadline for each milestone. Acquire critical knowledge and skills. Identify the possible obstacles and difficulties. Via Emmanuel Oluwatosin

My only caution is to make sure you do not just skim the article, take time to stop and think about each paragraph. Then decide what changes you want to make, note them down, and then take action.

Hat tip to Ben from the Carnival of the Entrepreneurs (8th Edition) for including Emmanuel Oluwatosin in this edition. Good pick. Someday I will have to write and submit an article.
