"where was this book when I was graduating college and trying desperately to find a job...This book would have saved me and given me the tips and advice to transition from college sur-real life to the Real World. This book should be 'the' handbook for college seniors..myabe colleges should even make it required reading..it would be so helpful if everything in college could enjoy even a tiny bit of the authors' insight..they are witty, intelligent, creative and filled with tons of great vision and experience that make this book a HIT! WOW, way to go Jen & Scott..can't wait to read your next book..."

Incredible, Unique Book-A Must Read For The Real World
"Simply Incredible!!! It's no wonder this book recently hit the NEW YORK TIME's BESTSELLER LIST!!!
This book is the first book I've ever seen and read that actually speaks to people's real world issues and challenges. There is no fluff here, unlike many books on success. It provides practical solutions and strategies on how to acheive meaningful success at an early age and is a must read for anyone in their late teens to early 30s!"

First Rate Guide to Getting Ahead
"Three words for the young and the restless: buy this book! More than a squishy feel-good book, this is a hands on guide to getting ahead and making smart decisions in your life. Jennifer Kushell and Scott Kaufman have put together a book that goes beyond mere motivation tactics, and tells you step-by-step how to prioritize your goals and then make them happen. Put simply, this book has substance. It contains profiles of real people who have achieved success - not just celebrities and overnight successes, but people with whom you can relate. It is as if the authors methodically distilled the ideas and actions that made these people successful and broke it down to a useful formula for the reader. They also give you a peak into their own lives, and the lives of their friends, making their experiences feel accessible to the reader. My twenty-something friends will be receiving this book as birthday gifts, and this will be my number one graduation gift this year for high school and college seniors."

It's About Time
WOW. How refreshing to read a book whose time is long overdue...Where was this book when I was in high school or college? I just learned more from Jennifer & Scott's book about practical tips for success then I did in 4 years of college classes. I feel like I can better market myself for success with their advice and I am confident now that I can fulfill all of my professional goals. Thanks for giving me a push in the right direction. This book should be required reading for anyone in school as it has valuable life lessons that could do America's students a world of good...Thanks for writing a book that encourages our generation to get off our butts and create our own amazing reality. I am pumped up now from reading the book and am going to tell all of my friends that they must check it out for themselves..

On Point
"The authors of this book did an incredible job of profiling some of the country's hottest 20 & 30 somethings. It is so cool to read about my peers going out and rising to the top of their industries at such a young age...Maybe now, people will stop claiming our generation is full of lazy people..How could you EVER think that after reading this book..It made me put down my TV remote and actually sit down to begin writing the buisness plan that I have been putting off for the last 6 months..I have been complaining that I get anyone to listen to my great business ideas and yet I haven't actually done my homework to map out my plan for the bar that I want to open. Reading this book made me relaize that I can probably open my bar within the next 6 months to a year if I start networking and get serious about raising capital for the project. Thanks for the motivation and inspiration. You guys ROCK!"

You Can Do It!
"I saw this book ...this weekend and had to pick it up. I couldn't put the book down once I started reading it. I have been trying to start my own clothing line for the last two years and EVERYONE has told me to give up, that I will never make it. It has been a rough process but I refuse to give up and after reading Jen's book I am even more confident that I can succeed and build a successful business in the fashion industry. This book profiles people in their 20's and 30's doing amazing things with their lives and overcoming incredible obstacles. It was inspiring to read about the men and women just like me with so much vision and creativity and how they translated their dreams into reality just by believing in themselves. I am so motivated now to go out and conquer the world, or at least the fashion world, and to not let anything or anyone hold me back. I checked out the author's website and was so impressed to find out that I could connect with other young entrepenuers from around the world...How cool is that? I searched for someone in fashion in their Young & Successful Directory and found a few people in the U.S. and even someone in France. Now I can email these people and maybe we can even swap stories ands share ideas and have a network of support of other people trying to do the same thing. I strongly reccommend this book to anyone with big dreams that wants to take the next step to change their lives. I am 32 years old and I know there is still time and a way for me and there certainly is for all of you. Good luck, you can do it! :) "
