Young Professional's Guide to Success

The 76 million members of Generation Y are launching into the work world with some nasty habits, including distractibility and a sense of entitlement. Successful 29-year-old entrepreneur Ryan Kohnen calls this Generation A.D.D., and says they need a wake-up call.
