The photo to the right is with my new friends Amanda, from New Zealand, and OUR new friend Reed Floren. We met him on our internet marketing cruise and we're both so impressed with this young man.
Why you might ask? Well, for starters, he is 22 and semi-retired! And he's done it all on the internet. As I mention in my feature article below, the internet has created a brand new way for our youth, and anyone, to make a living without leaving the comfort of their own home.
And since one of the hottest topics these days is how big a carbon footprint people leave, if you don't have to drive to work, you're not wasting gas and polluting the air. Reed is all about empowering others (of any age) to become financially free. If you want to get more info about him, click here!
COMING IN THE NEAR FUTURE: Would YOUR son or daughter (ages 13 and up) like to learn about internet marketing so that he or she can graduate from high school making a great living in an area they are passionate about? Great. We are building a Youth Empowerment System that will walk your child (and you because you'll be on the phone also), step-by-step through a program where they'll learn how to create, set up and run their own internet marketing company. Oh, it's OK if you learn how to do it also!
How cool is that? If your son or daughter would like to be making thousands of dollars a month in 12 months or less, please send me an email so we can get you the information on this cool program when it's ready. Oh, and Reed? He'll be helping along with a couple of other amazing young people we met on that cruise!

Financial Literacy: a Paradigm Shift
Many years ago, most parents felt that the only way their adult children would succeed in life was to go to college, get good grades, graduate and get a good steady, secure job.
This approach didn’t work, however, for kids who grew up wanting to be their own boss or absolutely not wanting to go to college. Often times the kids who didn’t go to college were the ones who started businesses because 1) they didn’t like having a boss, and 2) they thought they could do a better job than the person they were working for.
Though most parents desperately want their kids to go to college, this may not be the best plan of action any longer. If we bear in mind that college is just A way and not THE way for kids to grow into financially savvy adults, perhaps fewer kids would leave high school feeling like failures.
College dropouts often shoulder huge amounts of student loan debt and credit card debt. Even though who finish and graduate from college often leave college with huge amount of debt, as well as unreasonable expectations with regard to the salaries their hard-earned degrees will fetch them.
Adult children are moving home with mom and dad at an unprecedented rate, finding low paying jobs; doing anything to make ends meet. Many aren’t working at all, which leaves mom and dad at a loss for what to do to help their adult children get on their feet so they’ll finally move out and stay out!
This situation would be significantly different if our youth received the right type of financial education before they left home in the first place. The problem is that the current financial literacy model doesn’t necessarily fit the future paradigm of today’s kids. What financial literacy means and what financial education entails needs to shift in order to recession proof our kids for an unknown economic future.
In the past, financial literacy meant teaching kids how to balance a checkbook, create a budget and learn to save. 
Now, financial literacy needs to include how to invest in assets that produce passive income, learning that financial freedom means having more money coming in than going out, exploring the wonderful world of entrepreneurship and more. And without a doubt, it needs to include making money on the internet!
It used to be an unspoken expectation that the book-smart kids went to college and the street-smart kids went off to figure out how to make it in the world. Turns out those street-smart kids may be the adults who are now employing a lot of those book-smart kids.
What if we taught kids wealth literacy instead? What if we taught them all the skills they need to be self-sufficient--not just financially, but in all areas of life? And, what if we did this in school to ensure that when children become adults they have the skills necessary to live on their own, happily and prosperously?
Financial literacy needs to change. The face of financial education for kids needs to begin by acknowledging the simple fact that there are more students who don't graduate from college than do graduate from college. Financial literacy needs to expand past the typical save, save, save principles that are so regularly accepted in the field. Financial literacy must begin to morph into true wealth literacy and here’s why: More wealthy people in the world have done more good for the earth and the people living on it than any government agency or body has ever done. If we begin to prepare our kids to create true wealth in their lives early on, we will have fewer problems with poor economies, unemployment and other social problems that stem primarily from money issues.
As a parent, you have the responsibility of preparing your children to be responsible, self-reliant adults. In the current educational culture, take an active role in preparing them to be financially responsible adults. You can accomplish this by making sure you are doing the right things, yourself (setting the best example), and giving them sufficient practice with the tools they need to create their futures (i.e., money).
At the same time, you can become active in your school’s governing body, continually asking the administration to teach more life skills education. Gather support from other like-minded parents to attend meetings to demand wealth literacy in your children’s education. It’s going to take some time, but your child’s future, and the state of our future economy is worth the effort. |
