Product Description:
Why work for someone else when you can call your own shots, pursue your dreams, and find sucess on your terms by starting your own business? So many people end up bored with their jobs, stuck in the corporate grind, never following their true passions. As wildly successful young entrepreneur Cameron Johnson shows, you don't have to live that way. We've entered a new age of entrepreneurship, with the Web making it easier than ever to start and run your own company. As Johnson's remarkable story reveals, the entrepreneurial way of life is a great way to make sure you love what you do -- and it offers the potential to achieve extraordinary sucess by following your gut instincts and going for what you really want.
What about the risks? Don't you need lots of money? Don't most start-ups fail? Johnson shares his essential secrets to entrepreneurial sucess that show you how he got into the life at very low risk, and, with very little money, took an idea that excited him and ran with it, achieving great sucess and satisfaction with businesses he loved. He didn't have an MBA; he didn't even have a college degree. But he had learned the simple yet vital secrets he reveals.
Cameron Johnson is a seriously happy entrepreneur who started his very first business when he was nine with $50 and a home computer. Before he'd turned twenty-one he'd started twelve successful businesses and was offered $10 million in venture capital to grow his hot Web company CertificateSwap.com -- praised by Entrepreneur magazine as one of the Web businesses helping the tech industry get its groove back -- even bigger. He has never taken out a loan or racked up any debt, and every one of his businesses has been highly profitable -- so profitable that he made his very first million before graduating from high school, and he's put away enough cash so that he could retire today. But that's the last thing on earth he'd want to do; he's much too happy starting up new companies.
Through the story of his own impressive career so far, in You Call the Shots, Johnson takes you behind the scenes of entrepreneurial sucess and empowers you to hit the ground running with your own great business idea, no matter how young you are or how little money you have to invest.

I learned about this book while watching an episode of Donny Deutsch's, The Big Idea, on CNBC. Cameron is now in his early 20's, and has already started over 12 successful businesses in his young life! As a 29 year old, with 12 years of experience, I marvel at his story and was extremely happy to read his story in his book. Talk about giving me hope!!! I think we professionals make things much harder than they really are sometimes and Cameron's book showed me how easy things can be with great ideas, some work, and some focus. This read was the catalyst I needed to put some ideas I've had floating around in my head into place. Two new companies have evolved from what I learned-launch dates are less than a month away in both cases!
While an advertising executive for a major firm, I've always had something going on the side. Spent many years in multi-level marketing (learned a ton, but never made much), have run an online bookstore, and have a vending company today. While I've done so-so in my ventures, Cameron has been able to think "outside the box" and turn several of his ideas into ventures that would take care of most families for years and years to come! What's helped him take things to the subsequent level while so many (like myself) have done not so. Part of it is his age and his ability to take risks without having to worry about a family to feed. Another is his ability to see opportunity where others can't. Finally, his willingness to find people who's abilities complement his own.
Though 41, I can't wait to look back of this subsequent year and see how far I've come because of Cameron's mentoring words in this book! A MUST READ for all entrepreneur's, those who hope to be, or those who's kids have the desire to start their own businesses. Who's the subsequent Cameron going to be?!!

The 1st CD does not play in any of my machines so I don't know if the content was good or not. The other CDs will play but the content was boring and the guy just talked about how great he was. Don't waste your money.

First book I've read this fast in forever. Interesting guy doing interesting things. He is pretty up front about why he doesn't hold a lot of the businesses for very long, a lot of times he's riding a trend and when the trend is over, so is he.
I particularly like his story about Japan as well as most of his experiences.
Good book for a fresh thinking kind of guy. Reminds me a lot of the guy (Tim Ferris) who wrote the 4 hour work week. He just THINKS and sees the world DIFFERENT from the rest of us. Good to learn from, even if you don't think it's pertaining to you. It does when you think about it some.
Worth the read, even more so at the Kindle version price.
