Ashley Power's mother bought a computer for her when she was eight. When she was thirteen, she was surfing the Internet on a regular basis, but she couldn't find anywhere for teenagers to meet and talk. And one day she thought, "If I had my own website, I'd make it a really interesting site for teenagers."
Consequently, when Ashley was sixteen, she started her own website called GooseHead. She had no idea how big a success it would be, but three years later, the site was the most successful teen site in the USA! It was getting 100,000 hits every day, and Ashley had about 30 employees.
After a few years, the website closed down. Then Ashley, who lived in Los Angeles, was asked to write a book called The GooseHead Guide to Life. The book is about how to design a website and start a business. It begins with a section called"All About Ashley", where Ashley tell readers what it's like to be the boss of a company when you' re only sixteen-not always easy!
In her book, Ashley talks about the problems that teenagers have today plus the importance of friendship. She also focuses on being independent. "Learn to love your friends but not rely on them. I did that by creating GooseHead on my own."
Ashley says that The GooseHead Guide to Life is not a book of teenage advice."It isn't a book that's going to tell you what to do. I hope you can work that out yourself," she says."I just want to provide a little inspiration to teenagers. Maybe after reading my story, you' ll start your own website! But perhaps you' ve got a better idea? Well, if I were you, I'd just do it, whatever it is. Maybe it won't work---but maybe it will."
