Resource for students looking to start a
business:
Michael Simmons started his first business, a Web development
company, as an underclassman in high school. By the time he was
a senior, he was netting $50 an hour, better than what most high
school students earn mowing lawns or baby-sitting.
Today, he and his wife, Sheena Lindahl, both in their 20s, run
the Extreme Entrepreneurship Education Corp. and visit college
campuses across the country to help motivate and guide budding
entrepreneurs.
