Absolutely Mindblowing
Before I picked up the book, Teens Big Dreams, I was a bit stuck in life. I lacked what you would call, drive. But the dreams were still there, I still wanted to do what I've always wanted to do. Once you pick the book up, you can't put it down. This book, gave me the drive to finally go after my dreams. And finally, they have came true and still continue to. All of this wouldn't have been possible without this book. I've been Inspired To I would like to see Teens Big Dreams Amy |
| Unique, Remarkable, Down-to-Earth
At first Teens Big Dreams seemed like just another one of those motivational books but I soon discovered something more, it's conversational style wasn't overdone which made the book very engaging. It covers more ground than other books but is in no way simillar. The chspter on marketing yourself was very useful, especially the templates and insight it provided. This, accompanied by the other chapters made a truly sensational read and undoubtedly a toolkit for life, whether you're eight ot eighty eight. It is impossible to judge Teens Big Dreams by it's cover, the cover is simple without being minimalist and there is no blurb! If you want to find out what it's about you'll just have to read it.

Like taking wisdom and
knowledge
from King Solomon himself My review on this book, what more can I say than it's like taking wisdom and knowledge from King Solomon himself. The time and money Sacha has put into this book and his business has created such an amazing book of knowledge and inspiration to many young people, including myself. What an amazing book created by an amazing guy who wants to help teens and adults to become amazing inspirations, as he is himself I've been Inspired To I would like to see Teens Big Dreams Charbel |
| Incredible, Delightful, Encouraging-filled with Valuable Advice and Great Examples!
It's incredible to see what Sacha has done at such an early age. A true story of a young man living his dream and so delightful to see how successful you can be if only you try to live yours dreams. The book does exactly what it says on the cover- it encourages young people to think big! It's a great help to plan your future with confidence and valuable advice. I can recommend this book with great pleasure for anyone who needs some help in finding their path in a truly amazing and inspiring way!

Inspiration for life
As thomas Edison once said "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work". This i believe is the same feeling that went through Sacha's mind while writing this book. An honest and hard working individual with a dream, who produced an honest and hard working book for the world. Teens Big Dreams to me is a book of tools that is imperative in beggining your journey in reaching your goals and dreams. It gives you advice of how to go about starting your journey and what other ways can be done to get what you want in life. It gives you great clarity and helps you strip down barriers in your mind which keep telling you "you cant do this" or "this is too hard and too big for you to accomplish". This book tells u that the universe is your limit and the tools and writing within the book will help you achieve the smallest and biggest of your goals. These tools are not only meant to be also used in large scales but also can be used in other situations, such as organising the right way going about doing your uni work, or helping you in job finidings and interviews. It is the small details in this book which will greatly boost your goal performance and life performance as well. I have already followed Teens Big Dream tools and ideas and already seen great benefits in my living style and my outlook towards life is much brighter. The best thing about this book is that its not only for teens, its a book for people at the age of 0 to 200 years old. Your never too young or old to start a change. Though i highly recommend this book for parents as it will be a great boost for a child life, if they begin to use these tools early in their life, it will get them used to the right thinkin patterns and help them break down any existing walls in their mind and future walls which may pop up. Overall this is an amazing book that i believe everyone should have a copy of. The great thing about this book is it has the chance to change your life for the best.

Inspiring Awesome Cool Amazing Wow Omg Life Useful Great Wicked
Before reading teens big dreams i had just left science at uni to pursue my dream career as a director/producer of big budget hollywood films. I applied for tafes communication and media course and will use that as my stepping stone to uni. During the beginning of the year i was still unsure if i have made the right decision. Then one day with luck i met Sacha at Parramatta library telling us about his book and himself. That day forever changed my life forever. His speech was inspiring and struck a few chords with me. I was fortunate enough to be invited over to his house where we all had a chat and eventually he gave me his book. When i started reading this book i was like wow everyone needs to read this.

Teens Big Dreams is a book that every high school child should read. Sacha takes you by the hand and leads you through an inspirational personal development platform. Not only are the tools and lessons imparted invaluable but, by publishing this book, the young author has made a statement to the world that anything is possible if you believe in yourself and put your mind to it.

TBD is an inspiring book with an uplifting, heartwarming message
Everyone needs a source of encouragement and motivation. Through its combination of inspiring stories, analogies and thoughtfully arranged chapter structures, Teens Big Dreams provides us with the optimism, motivation and encouragement that we need to pursue our passions and follow our dreams. Teens Big Dreams inspired me to gain university entry to follow my dream to become an architect. Thanks for the optimism and support Sacha!

| Motivational Real Effective Sincere Insightful Guiding Big Picture Absolutely loved the insights given into making the most of what you have to achieve your passion, with an ardent mindset. I've read motivational books before, but the context of the personal stories (for example, I was born with a club foot and I've faced some family health issues to consider too) helped to ground in the positive mentality needed and the hard work to get there. It adds that edge of hopeful realism and along the way, it's full of gems of advice on leadership and self conduct that can serve as invaluable advice to many audiences!

Refreshing to the eyes, inspirational to the soul
When I first held Teens Big Dreams in my hand, I had to say, I felt so proud of the author, as I have a personal friendship with Sacha. I liked the layout of the book, it really made it refreshing to read. Sacha has a way with explaining things, if you know him, you can almost hear the words come out of his mouth as you read them. The use of analogies really allows you to visualise what he is trying to communicate. If you are a fussy reader who has little patience with reading, you won't get it with this book. It's just that great a read, you just want to keep digging deeper into it. Truly, a fantastic, inspirational book for any reader. To those who are new to Teens Big Dream teachings, this will be a great educational tool. To others who are aware of these principles, Teens Big Dreams will be a reminder of your true potential.

| Big on colour. Big on life!
An inspirational book for teens to look at the bright side of life. Complete with real life stories, one gets a real positive vibe from reading cover to cover or just picking up to glance through the pages. Should be a standard issue text for all students entering high school. I would like to see Teens Big Dreams Dr Brett Gardiner (MBBS FACRM FAFRM MHA FRACMA) |

A necessary success GPS on life's road to dreams
Hey Sasha, I appologize for taking so long to do this. Congratulations on a year! Wow! Has it been that long. Now... I enjoyed Teens Big Dreams very much. I have read a lot of self help books and found Teens Big Dreams to be an easy read of a lot of useful material in a concise and interesting style. It helped me to gauge my success towards my dreams. I liked it so much I gave it to my daughters to read. While they are not teens, I thought the book would be very useful to them. I wanted them to reference it to check their dreams to see if they were on track. My oldest daughter says her son (my grandson is 10 years old) Gavin can hardly put it down. He is using it already on the road to his dreams. Thank you for such a wonderful and useful book. I was wondering if you had considered creating a workbook to go with it? The Teens Big Dream Workbook. Of course I expect a small royalty for the suggestion... ;-) I've been Inspired To I would like to see Teens Big Dreams Buckey Knight |
| A inspirational piece of work, uplifting others heart and soul! I love the book! Although I'm not a teen anymore but I think its great for all ages who want to persue their dreams!!

Thanks Sacha!! :) xoxo I've been Inspired To I would like to see Teens Big Dreams Chopsticks Miss |

A living dream come true!
From the moment I picked up this book, to finishing the last page, I was impressed. Having studied Community Services/Welfare at Tafe, I was quite familiar with the skills required when "networking", it was something I really enjoyed. Many days were spent accessing other resources to better serve the community, and that included hours in the Tafe library, researching! When I received my copy of "Teens Big Dreams", the first thing that jumped off the pages were the fact Sacha had shared a great deal of information directed at achieving your goals/dreams....this clearly stood out in my mind as the perfect hand-tool for a student! It spoke volumes about building self-confidence through simple tasks, while offering the reader a hands-on approach to taking more control over one's life!With loads of social aspects and ideas, Sacha also combined life-experiences as examples of each step forward....I have always believed this book was destined to serve a bigger purpose and am so pleased to have witnessed its remarkable journey thus far. Well done Sacha, your book is a testament to your personal beliefs and convictions. Thanks to you and this book, I too am enjoying the journey!

| An inspirational read for any young person needing some direction
This book is an inspiration for all young people, providing them with easy to follow steps and tips for discovering their passion and instilling in them the confidence and faith that they too can follow their dreams and succeed. I wish I had a book like this available to me during my formative years. Deborah Moldrich |

Inspiring. Revolutionary. Motivational. Practical. Effective. Unparalleled. Creative.
I was given a copy of Teens Big Dreams (TBG), back in the development stages and I could immediately tell it was going to be a winner. I have been hooked ever since both as an aid for my personal life and for the management of my own companies. Sacha, clearly and coherently talks about a range of issues from starting your own business to remaining motivated and inspired, all essential skills in today's globalized world. The name doesn't do justice to the range of people who are able to be benefit from this text. Regardless of your age, background or location TBG will open your eyes to the next steps you should take in your life. Don't spend a minute longer, take the leap, the chance and the first step with Teens Big Dreams! Excellent! I've been Inspired To I would like to see Teens Big Dreams Eric Azizian |
| A "Must Read" for teenagers, their parents and grandparents
I commend Sacha for his inspirational book "Teens Big Dreams." Growing up as a teenager in the 1970s was confusing enough; but life for teenagers in the 21st century is considerably more demanding. Written by a teenager, for teenagers, this book is concise, direct and turns complex teenage "stuff" into an easy-to-follow road map for personal success. The graphics are particularly impressive, and breathe even more life and meaning into the words on every page, creating a tool kit for adolescent life. How I wish "Teens Big Dreams" was in my school library back in 1977! Well done Sacha!! Your passion, drive and commitment are a motivation to people of all ages. I look forward to following your journey, as you achieve your goals, and encourage others to "dream big, act big" along the way...

| In my opinion, is a bestseller not to be missed
Sachas baby 'teens BIG dreams book' reflects the enthusiasm and passion of a young man who had a vision and dared to dream and act big. Nothing held Sacha back. Sacha knew he had a hold of something tangible and elite that would have a rippling effect into our nation of Australia and spread world wide. I've had the privilege of meeting Sacha and reading his book. A book that not only is easy to read and comprehend at any age. It teaches you how to broaden your vision of the possibilities, that one would need the boldness and desire to be challenged to aim BIG. I would recommend anyone to read 'teens BIG dreams' and envision for yourself a journey of avenues, you didn't think possible.

Guide to moving from black and white to color
This hand-book is the epitome of self-motivation. The personal journey of the author could have led him down a very dark path, and he could have been a statistic. Instead, he chose to embrace the blue sky, not drown in the dark clouds. I've been Inspired To I would like to see Teens Big Dreams Joseph Wakim |
| Road map to self belief
Ask almost any teenager what they want to do in the future, and most will respond with ‘I don’t know, I haven’t made up my mind yet’. This attitude is not necessarily a problem until it becomes embedded in their psyche and they meander through some of the most important years of their life with no short or long term ambitions or achievable goals. This can lead to frustrations which sometimes can spiral out of control into depths of depression. Teens Big Dreams is a road map into providing achievable objectives to guide them into setting goals for themselves and a means in how to achieve them. It stresses that not all goals are achievable, and it is ok to re-evaluate and change those goals when circumstances change. Having known the family for many years, it is obvious that Sacha’s journey in writing this book also provided a catalyst which focused his immediate family on a collective goal allowing them to concentrate on the positive affirmations described in the book. I believe Sacha goal was/is to provide help to other young people experiencing difficulties and allowing them to focus on the future which can make the present bearable. It is much easier to wallow in self pity and become depressed. If Sacha’s book helps just one person from avoiding this cloud of negativity, I think he has achieved success. I also believe the concepts and goals presented in Teens Big Dreams applies to all walks of life. Sacha has targeted young people based on his own experiences but it can provide a universal guide to all of us. As we all travel along life’s paths and highways, we each experience bumps and road blocks to some degree. This is part of living and learning from these experiences. It’s how we navigate around these setbacks determines our character and wellbeing. Sometimes these hazards in life appear too big to resolve and we may need help to negotiate them. Having willing friends and or relatives to offer help and being able to convey to them that you need help often overcomes making incorrect or irrational decisions. Sometimes, it seems there is no one who could help or understand your predicament. This turns small holes in huge chasms. Teens Big Dreams can help rationalise these fears and provide a checklist for breaking down the perceived insurmountable barriers into smaller achievable goals. Well done Sacha.

| Inspirational, Practical, Visual, Visionary, Fresh
Teens Big Dreams is the perfect book for any teenager wanting to do something significant with their life. It is a call for the up and coming generation to get of their butts and do something that could make a difference not only in their world, but in the lives of many people. It is inspirational, closely tied in with the pratical, and a must read for any teen or young adult that just needs that extra push, with excellent 'how to' keys on what steps it takes to get there. Having taught young adults in their tertiary studies and at high school age, I have seen how crucial it is that they have some solid guidance and sound inspiration to get their 'big dreams' off the ground. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to do something bigger than the mediocre. Linda Badger |

Inspiring, Motivational, Amazing, Empowering, Comprehensive and In-Depth, Life Changing!
When I began reading ‘Teens Big Dreams’, I literally couldn’t put it down until I had finished reading it from cover to cover! It is absolutely awe-inspiring. It has reinforced my own personal dreams, while motivating me to envision further possibilities I could take to pursue my passion for teaching and working with young children. I strongly believe ‘Teens Big Dreams’ should be incorporated internationally, into every school’s curriculum. It provides guidance and practical steps to encourage teenagers to realise their passion in life, while empowering them to act on this, by taking the exciting journey to make their vision become a reality. This amazing motivational and life-skills book is a testament to its inspiring author, Sacha. I can’t recommend it enough to people of all ages, as it will definitely inspire you to take the steps required to achieve your goals and follow your dreams. Gabriella Castellarin |
| An inspirational program to assist young people
Sacha's book has been a great asset to our school. We have been able to use Teen's Big Dreams in several ways. Firstly through our Mentoring Program during Years 9 and 10. We use parts of this book to develop an understanding of mentoring and what students can achieve. We also used the book during a Careers Day with Year 10 to help the students identify goals for their future. We are now planning to use the book as part of a new Work Education Program we are running with selected disengaged students in Years 9 and 10. We have been lucky enough to have Sacha present to our students on many of these occassions with great success. I would recommend this book to any school looking to assist students with future planning and we are looking forward to working with Sacha in the future whenever it is possible.

Teens Big Dreams is a truly inspirational book, both for teens and their parents. For teens trying to make important life choices in a world changing faster than ever before, it provides a dip-into box of ideas that both provoke self-reflection and provide constructive guidance in a fun and accessible manner.

| Challenges and inspires young people to find passion and purpose!
As an academic coach and presenter, I work with a lot of young people who are unmotivated, and uninspired. More often than not, they feel the pressure to go to university and study courses such as Law, Medicine, Commerce and Engineering because they are prestigious, and lead to well-paid careers - regardless of whether or not they are interested and passionate about these courses. Teens Big Dreams challenges young people to think about who they really are, and what they are passionate about and pursue this, instead of what they might feel socially obligated to do. Importantly, it provides young people with the skills and blueprint they need to then make their dream a reality - and it does this through memorable metaphors, that teach young people vital lessons they need to understand to help them achieve their goals. Overall, a great read, and a important resource for young people! Great job Sacha! I've been Inspired To I would like to see Teens Big Dreams Rowan Kunz |

Illawarra Mercury If you have the pleasure of meeting Krjatian, you'll find him charming and exhausting in equal measure. He has an energy and naivety that allows him to attempt what older, wiser heads would caution against. So at the age of 20, this son of Georgian refugees published a book to inspire teenagers to live their dreams, however large they may be. Krjatian is living proof of his philosophy - the book was not easy to produce - but has an engaging design and is packed with ideas that set the heart racing. Better still, half of the profits go into a foundation to help people pursue their dreams. It's crazy, but it might just work. William Verity |
