- 2010280106 abstract "If you want to make it big in business, here's how: Follow a diverse group of kids who've put their ideas, smarts, and determination to the test, and who've turned their passions into profits. These teens showed up in New York City with the same goal--to win the final championship round of the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship's National Business Plan Competition. The stakes were high--a cash prize of $10,000 to start their own company, and national media exposure that would put their products and services in front of millions. But these young contenders had already weathered more than their fair share of challenges, and they were more than up to the contest. The mavens-in-the-making---high school students just like you--faced off in front of a tough panel of judges to present their plans for launching and building their own ventures. And, just as awesome, these teens were filmed to be featured in TEN9EIGHT, a documentary about their rise to the top (or their being bounced from the competition). The pressure was on, big-time! Through their individual stories--and the sweat and tears that come with any fierce contest--you'll learn what makes a good idea great; who can help you succeed; and why certain skills are essential in business. Step-by-step strategies for getting to the top--and staying there! Ten, nine, eight, the countdown is on: Ready, set, go for it! [Contents] include personal profiles of the contestants; each teen's top 10 tips to succeed in business; the judges' feedback on the proposals; a quiz to see if you've got what it takes to make it big; a glossary of common business terms.--Cover description.".
