Dr. Michael Carlton, MD, an expert on the brain and addictions. The title of

people are rich and some are poor. It is a matter of addictions. You may

junior high school girl in my neighborhood who has a thriving baby-sitting
business and hires classmates to work for her. She is an entrepreneur.
Another young boy has a handyman business after school. He is an
entrepreneur. What most kids have is no fear. For most adults, that’s all they
