Resources 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. http://www.extremee.org/ and visit college campuses across the country to help motivate and guide budding entrepreneurs.

"We want to help show that starting a business can be a very rewarding experience," Simmons said.

And there is a growing audience of young men and women eager to receive that message.
