Kidpreneur: Pay Your Way Thru College!
Local Dad, Jeff Crilley, is beaming with pride over book written by his 15 year old son. Dallas Crilley, now a published author, talks about how, as normal bored teenager he decided to make the most of his summer. He did not want to be the typical teenager that accepts societies thoughts that he is too young to earn money. He did not want to be just another teen sitting at home doing nothing, so he started asking questions and bouncing idea's off his dad.
We were talking and Dallas said, "Why don't kids do more with their lives?" said Mr. Crilley, a Fox 4 TV reporter in Dallas. "Why can't kids start being more like adults when it comes to businesses?" The idea Dallas came up with was to write a book about it. That's when the research began, Dallas searched the web for kids that had started their own businesses and chapter by chapter his book began to take shape. Dallas even contacted the subjects personally, trying to discern lessons that could be taken from each one. Dallas has written over 20 stories of successful Kidpreneurs that have changed the course of their own lives by taking their future into their own hands and proving that there is more to life as a teenager, than wasting away your summer.
Dallas said he believes being young in age is actually a strength. "When you are a kid you haven't been beaten down by society. You have dreams and ambitions," said Dallas.
The rest as they say is history... Please take the time to check out the links below and get a copy of the book for YOUR kids to read and be inspired by.
