Hey future entrepreneurs! I’m Ian, and I’ve literally watched the internet grow up from a baby into the beast it is today.
While you were learning to walk, I was already deep in the trenches of marketing—starting way back in the 80s with ancient stuff like Yellow Pages and door-to-door sales (yes, people actually did that!). But here’s the cool part: when the internet started emerging in the mid-90s, I immediately knew this was going to change everything. So while other adults were still figuring out email, I was already building online businesses.
Here’s what makes me different from other “business gurus”: I’ve been through every single evolution of digital marketing—from the dial-up days (look it up, it was painful) to today’s AI-powered world. I’ve seen platforms rise and fall, watched trends come and go, and learned what actually works versus what’s just hype.
I wrote the first version of this book in 2011 because I realized something important: young people have natural advantages in the digital world that most adults completely miss. You grew up with smartphones, you understand social media intuitively, and you’re not afraid to try new things. That’s not just an advantage—that’s a superpower.
Why I’m obsessed with helping teens succeed online: Because you’re not “too young” to build something amazing—you’re actually at the perfect age. While adults are stuck in old-school thinking, you can leap straight to cutting-edge strategies. Plus, watching teenage entrepreneurs crush it online is honestly the most exciting thing happening in business right now.
I’ve helped thousands of people turn their internet presence into profit, but working with ambitious teens who are ready to think bigger? That’s what gets me fired up every single day.
The bottom line: If you’re ready to stop asking for money and start making it, I’ve got the roadmap. Let’s build your digital empire together.
