ome of us are born desk jockeys, destined to patiently work our way up to
positions of responsibility. Then there are those who go for broke right out
of the starting gate. And when they fail, they just get back up and start again.
Take Michael Cheng, for example: at age 24, he's already founded more
than 20 companies. Or Milun Tesovic: he's best known as founder of
MetroLyrics, the song-lyrics website he sold to CBS Interactive, but that's just
one of a dozen startups he has launched since moving to Vancouver from
Bosnia with his family at age nine. And now at the ripe old age of 28, Tesovic
is mentor to a whole new generation of entrepreneurs.
