Gurbaksh Chahal started the Internet advertising company
ClickAgents from his bedroom at the age of 16, having
emigrated to the United States with his Sikh family from the
small town of Tarn Taran, India. He dropped out of high
school to pursue the venture full-time, and two years later
sold ClickAgents for $40 million, making him one of the
youngest self-made millionaires in history and allowing him
and his entire family to realize their dreams. Chahal went
on to become the youngest executive of a multi-billion
dollar NASDAQ-listed company, and then sold his second
company, BlueLithium, to Yahoo! for $300 million, turning
many of his employees into multi-millionaires as well.
In The Dream, Chahal's refreshing advice for
entrepreneurs encourages them to embrace risk and to carve
out new niches in the marketplace. He emphasizes the value
of good business timing: how to execute an idea and get it
to the marketplace, how to create and maintain solid
business relationships, how to stay grounded, and--most
importantly--how to teach yourself that failure is not an
option. Chahal's story not only shows how a 16-year-old
immigrant overcame discrimination and adversity to fulfill
his highest ambitions, but also provides aspiring
entrepreneurs with valuable hands-on advice on how to
achieve success.
