When a business succeeds, its owner obviously feels the effects of an improved financial situation. Teen Internet entrepreneurs can suddenly earn a lot more money than any of their peers. AshBo received a five million dollar offer to sell Whateverlife.com. but she decided to refuse it. Also, this type of job greatly differs from what other teenagers do. Instead of preparing food in a hot kitchen or standing for hours to operate a cash register, an Internet entrepreneur may work in a comfortable office, with air-conditioning and delicious snacks. If the entrepreneur wants anything else, she can get it immediately, since she is the boss.
Success may also affect the entrepreneur’s academic life. The competitive, fast-paced Internet world leaves little extra time for studying or attending classes. Rather than losing amazing business opportunities, sometimes a young person may drop out of high school. AshBo is one example. She left her high school at age 15 to concentrate fully on developing her website.
