NFTE Alum Writes "Entrepreneurial Mindset" Book
Spring 2003 - Michael Simmons, a NFTE alumnus and Young Entrepreneur of the
Year in 2002 and a junior at the Stern School of Business at New York University,
has written a book titled The Student Success Manifesto.
Michael designed his text to inspire students to use the entrepreneurial way of
thinking. Says Michael, "I learned so much from starting a company and doing
research that I felt like I had to share what I had learned. So many students just
follow the norm. I wanted to show them how they could blaze their own path."
Michael co-founded a web development company in high school that in 2000 was
rated the Number 1 computer graphics company in the country by YoungBiz
Magazine. In addition to winning NFTE's highest student honor, Michael has also
received a Fleet Youth Entrepreneur of the Year Award for New York City and was
recently awarded a $5,000 scholarship by the Ford Motor Company.
