Crush It!: Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion (Paperback)- this is an excellent book by Gary Vaynerchuk that I highly recommend for your kiddo that might not be good in a formal college setting or classroom and how those kiddos can be equally and sometimes more successful than those with degrees.  I’ve read this twice and love it.  FPN is being built with Gary’s basic principles in mind.

Crush It!: Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion (Kindle) – Kindle version saves you  few bucks and this is how I read his book!
