I set out to inspire, motivate and educate young people to be the ‘next big thing!’ Youth Entrepreneurship is a really important issue; one that is becoming increasingly noticed due to the recession as young people are struggling to find employment in the UK and around the world. It is apparent that young people have got the talent, passion and potential to do something positive with their lives. All young people need is inspiration from other people of the same age. That is why I wrote "Be young and successful' - to show the positive side of youth and to prove that people can be young and successful! The confidence that I observed amongst young entrepreneurs inspired me to interview and find out from them firsthand what it’s like to be a Young Entrepreneur, I wanted to pass on their insights and expertise.
