I want to personally wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving week. I hope you spend time with your family and focus on what’s really important in your lives, and thats being with the people who love and respect you the most. I will certainly enjoy my time with my family and friends. It has been a long year of traveling all over the country so it’s great to have everyone in one place at one time.
I also want to note that our ChristmasForKids charity is going to be participating in a few different functions this year so watch for updates, and for those of you who have emailed me your stories and request rest assured that I have personally read each and every one of them and will do my best to help you, your family, and your friends this year.

Ok so maybe you’re already past 21 but hey you still want to retire young right? One thing I have noticed is that people are astonished when they hear about my success as an entrepreneur at such a young age. I think the reason for their “astonishment” is that they aren’t aware that I am not by any means alone. There are many young entrepreneurs in today’s digital environment. The implementation of the internet has opened the door for so many young people to become wealthy.
Years ago the idea of a 21 year old making millions of dollars was very farfetched to say the least. The only way that could occur is if they started a business, which probably would have caused them to drop out of school. Today you can finish school AND start your own business thanks to the internet. I have had the opportunity to meet many young entrepreneurs over the past two years and each one has their own unique story. I remember meeting Cameron Johnson (www.cameronjohnson.com) while in California this summer. Cameron has used the internet to make his first million dollars before even turning 21 years old!
If you want to learn more about young successful entrepreneur’s I suggest you check out www.retireat21.com. The site was founded by Michael Dunlop who was born in 1988! Here is a guy 6 years younger than me who’s got his own business online. He interviews many successful entrepreneur’s and helps share their stories of success with the world. His website generates an income for him, and inspires many young people around the world to be successful.
I’ve seen so many people make millions of dollars with things as easy as MySpace layouts, blogs, and simple applications online. The world is changing and so is the economy on a daily basis. The internet, however, remains a steady and viable medium to reach customers and create businesses at any age. If the stories seen on www.retireat21.com don’t inspire you to take the plunge and start your own business I really don’t know what will.

It’s Friday night and I am just sitting at home reading on the internet. Some people would certainly say that reading on the internet, especially on a Friday night, is a bit weird. I, however, feel like knowledge is power and reading gives me interesting new ideas for businesses and growth as an entrepreneur. Some people think entrepreneurialism is just something that happens, but I feel like you must feed yourself knowledge to realize your true potential as an entrepreneur.
You have to think about your goals in life. Do you want to own your own business? do you want to control your financial future? If so then being an entrepreneur is the way to go especially in todays economy. I really believe if your reading this blog YOU have the potential to run your own business and be successful.
Take some time to educate yourself on business, internet business, and entrepreneurialism today. Take action tomorrow, and take control of your financial future.

I’m finally home and resting for the remainder of the year. 2008 has really been fun, exciting, and educational for me as well as those that work with me. Our tour once again visited over 60 cities around the United States and allowed me to teach thousands of people what I know about making money online. It was and still is a surreal feeling to see so many people attend my conferences each and every week.
I do, however, want to take a second to reach out to YOU about something I am very passionate about towards the end of the year. Many children go without on Christmas and it’s honestly just saddening to see that happen year after year. I started a charity called ChristmasForKids (you can read about it on my site) to help purchase gifts for those less fortunate, and get young people involved. However, I am always open to new ideas and new information. Today I was approached by a lady representing the burned children’s association in both Jackson, Ms and Augusta, Ga. She said many children (burn victims) go without during the holidays because their families are just struggling to pay for their medical bills and procedures. So I decided (along with my brother) to sponsor 10 of these children and make sure they have a wonderful Christmas. The program is called “Shop with the Doc” and it benefits the Pediatric Burn Survivors it only cost $150 to sponsor one child.
I challenge YOU to take action in your community. See if there is a similar program available so you can sponsor a child in your area. Remember there are always children who go without, and you can make a difference! I wish you all a wonderful Christmas Holiday!
