Be a CEO in College
Remember that awesome winner from NBC's The Apprentice, Randal Pinkett? Well, he has written a new book named "Campus CEO: The Student Entrepreneur's Guide to Launching a Multimillion-Dollar Business" (Kaplan Publishing, $16.95). Pinkett ran businesses from his dorm at Rutgers University and eventually went on to own a multi-million dollar management, technology, and policy consult firm.
Michelle Singletary, a personal finance columnist for the Washington Post, has named Pinkett's book as her new selection for her book club. Sounds good to me. Entrepreneurship is an excellent thing. Anything that keeps you out of some other person's workplace is a great idea. I wish I had been encouraged earlier to explore running my own business. Pinkett is a smart guy who has actually successfully started his own businesses, college kids and no-college kids alike, check it out.
