Raising Money Smart Teens
When I talk to parents, one of the biggest issues with their teens is that they don't 'get it' when it comes to money. Which is why I'm offering a free Teleclass for PARENTS who want useful methods, tips and tools to help their teens EARN, SAVE, and APPRECIATE money!
So when your house has settled down for the evening and your cell phone minutes are free - call in!

I was up late working one evening and began thinking about the number of people who follow through after I've helped them plan their business startup. Not because they didn't have great ideas or startup money, but because being an entrepreneur is hard work. For those thinking you can get up when you want to, go on vacation at random and there's no boss to bother you - there's a rude awakening. You will work harder than you ever have for an employer when you start your own business. There are long nights, your weekends aren't really and rarely do you go on vacations in the beginning. As for not having a boss...trust me your household bills will ride you to produce much worse than your boss!
The entrepreneur who has a plan and can hold out those first few years will succeed. Holding out means serious strategic planning on paper, knowing when a bad idea needs to be scrapped and being surrounded by people who can give sound advice. Mistakes will be made and that's okay, you just have to be able to bounce back. For those who want a 10 - 2 workday, annual vacations and guaranteed benefits...eh... keep your day job. But if you know that you want to create a product or provide a service that has YOUR name on it and is beneficial to your market - go for it! Yes, you will suffer from sleep deprivation and your social life may come to a screeching halt for a while - but the long term payoff is worth it!
