Millionaire at 18: See How He Did It...
I just finished reading the book, You Call The Shots by Cameron Johnson, and I wanted everyone to see this incredible story.
This guy started out at age nine with his first business selling beanie babies on ebay and made over $50,000 by the time he was eleven. He then went on to start tons of different websites and made his first million before he graduated high school. This book is awesome and is a must for every entrepreneur.

I just read a book by a similar author. At 17, James Hatton Jr. began using the money he made at his fast-food job to buy and "flip" old houses. He has since refurbished 11 houses and built and sold three new homes, all while working more than 60 hours a week at his restaurant jobs. If his investments continue to pay off, Hatton says, he's on track to become a millionaire by age 28. His self-published book, Flippin' Burgers to Flippin' Millions, was released last week. Anyway, I thought you might be interested in his story.

Why work for someone else when you can call your own shots, pursue your dreams, and find success on your terms by starting your own business? Good thoughts. Seems to be a good book, will check it out.

Thanks for bringing my attention to this book! My dream has always been to make my first million by the time I graduate High School. I feel that this was meant to be.
