A 19-year-old teenager who dropped out of
his A-level studies has now launched his own airline. Martin Halstead, who
has been named “Baby Branson” after Virgin Atlantic honcho Sir Richard
Branson, has said that the Alpha One Airways will start operations from
November 21, carrying around 75,000 passengers. Halstead, who quit
the classroom to get his commercial pilot's licence, said that he came up
with the idea while sitting at a coffee shop with friends, as getting a job
in the industry was very difficult.

more accounts were created, adding nearly 85,000 users a day the company

Generation Y of course are not all on MySpace, but those who are take our
share of time) spends one hour and 40 minutes a month on the site (more
serious ones spend more time), writing blogs, listening to music, and
viewing one another's photos.

Sit up straight. Brush your teeth. Don't
talk to strangers. Smile. Do unto others. The list goes on and on. Since we
took our first breath people have been telling us what to do, haven't they?
They meant well, but in the grand scheme of things, most of the advice
people gave us growing up wasn't very useful. That's why I have a saying in
my office: "Less is better -- if less is good to begin with." I don't
pretend to have all the answers, but I know what I know. In business you
have to dot your I's, cross your T's, admit your mistakes and say thank you
if you want to get anywhere. Nobody wants to do business with someone who
pays no attention to detail and isn't appreciative.
Alex Meshkin. He's holding a wad of cash
in his hand, raised in victory above his head. Jeers and playful razzing
from his employees echo behind him. He took their money in some kind of bet
and wasn't giving them a chance to win it back. “Sorry, gotta go,” he
laughed as he climbed down steps in his hauler. Meshkin, the youngest
NASCAR team owner at 24, became a multimillionaire at 19. Now he's pooled
his competitiveness, love for racing and bank account into yet another
business. He founded Bang Racing for this season, signed with Toyota and
landed two of the most successful drivers in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck
series in Mike Skinner and Travis Kvapil, the defending series champion.

On a stark stage in Sacramento, California,
Farrah Gray makes his way to the podium and launches into a roadshow he's
performed dozens of times before. "People say to me, 'Farrah, you're the
17-year-old millionaire, the one who has offices on Wall Street.' But the
question is, what does it take to get there?"
