Working...Whenever
I grew up in an economic wasteland. No, not the Soviet Union. LOL. But Central Massachusetts in the 1980s.
As a teenager, the only work options I had were McDonalds for $3.15 an hour or a paper route for even less that. There were simply no opportunities to hustle for a buck. You couldn't even mow lawns because no one had the money to pay kids, never mind landscapers.
Moving to Philadelphia for college (UPenn) in 1992 was an eye-opening experience for me. Suddenly I had job opportunities galore at north of $5 per hour and even higher!
Though more importantly, I met some truly amazing kids who were light-years ahead of me. While I had spent my entire youth on school, sports, and television (all dead ends!)....
Some of these kids, arrived at college with side businesses of their own already. I was shocked to meet 18 year-old classmates who read the Wall Street Journal. Others were trading stocks. There was even one kid I met who launched a massive textbook business right on campus - competing directly with the University Bookstore.

There was also another precocious student there who is now one of the most highly respected, and wealthiest entrepreneurs on the planet. Perhaps you've heard of him?
Yes. Elon Musk was at UPenn at the same time as me. But even though we were classmates and theoretically peers, I was unknowingly mired on the Job Track and he was accelerating ahead on the Entrepreneur Track.
He rented an entire big house just off campus. Why?
Before he sold his web software company in 1999 for $341 million, before he helped found PayPal (sold for $1.5 billion), before he revolutionized rocket science with SpaceX, before he built the second largest solar power company in America (SolarCity), and before he created the world's hottest car company in Tesla Motors...
Elon was partying with me at Penn. Well, sort of.

Apparently Elon, instead of doing what the rest of the student body was doing and renting a single dorm room or getting a roommate...
He rented an entire big house just off campus. Why?
So he could throw massive keg parties and use the proceeds to help pay his tuition!
Without a doubt, I had to have handed Elon or his front-door bouncers a five-dollar bill for a plastic cup entitled to all-you-can-drink, piss-warm, Meister Brau or Busch beer.
So in some small way, I guess I can brag that I was an early investor in PayPal and Tesla, right?
Going to an Ivy League college in Philadelphia exposed to me to greater opportunities and a few of these amazing kids...
I had no idea that it was a path very much available to me.
I went from being completely ignorant of entrepreneurship to at least discovering that it existed.
Unfortunately, at the time I didn't take these kids' examples seriously enough.
I didn't grasp how superior of a career and lifestyle entrepreneurship offered.
I had no idea that it was a path very much available to me.
Although even if I had ambitions on this front....I wouldn't know how to get started.
Give 'Em Wings
People saw this graphic online and were commenting, "Look how much he made over the last years of his life....so that proves that it's never too late to start."
If you convert that to today's currency....Warren essentially had $67,967 as an eighth-grader!
And by the time he graduated high school, Warren had tried a whopping 20 different business ventures already.
But that interpretation is completely WRONG.
That graph proves how important it is to start early.
Warren had amassed $5,000 by the age of 14. Note that was way back in 1944.

What's in the Video Lessons?
- Each module is centered around a particular business or industry. We trace its economic history right up to present day.
- We discuss famous entrepreneurs within it such as the titans mentioned above and so many more.
- We break down their business models. Together we analyze their philosophies, their wins AND losses, and importantly, their bumpy paths to success.
- But we also study a lot of lesser known entrepreneurs.
- I highlight fascinating smaller businesses, both online and offline, and most definitely other world-beating kids who are grinding for dough. (This is the most popular part of modules!)
- I recommend books, tools, websites, and specific plans of action.
- I actually hand-deliver kids opportunities to make money.
- Throughout I'm incessantly touting hustle, goal setting, risk-taking, creativity, and self-motivation. My over-arching objective is to condition students' minds to think proactively, more aggressively, and to see the larger world as abundant and filled with opportunity.
What's in the Video Lessons?
I want to reiterate that:
Entrepreneurship is the only subject that is laced with EXPONENTIAL POTENTIAL
Entrepreneurship is the only subject that is laced with EXPONENTIAL POTENTIAL!
That's a powerful quote by Jobs. We all think he's a genius BUT he's telling us he is no more intelligent than we are.
You see....we can't have it both ways. We can't exalt him as a genius and then disregard what he just said!
Jobs, of course, attributes success all to passion and hard work - something all humans are capable of.
To that I would add in....an early start.
Let's make sure your kids don't realize they HAD infinite potential when they are 35, 40, or older when it's way too late!
The Job Track is LACED With Risk
Let's make sure your kids at least have a chance of not punching a clock, slaving for "the man", a chance of not spending a huge proportion of their life stuck in rush-hour traffic, riding commuter trains and subways, mired in cubicles...
A life of job stress, ulcers, sitting-all-day, carpal tunnel syndrome...
A life of job stress, ulcers, sitting-all-day, carpal tunnel syndrome...
Let's make sure they don't spend their entire lifetimes grumbling that everything is too expensive!
Understand that everyone and everything in this world is pushing your kids onto the inferior Job Track.
The mass media...
Our institutions, especially obedience-obsessed schools...
The 9-5, work-for-a-big-company, work-for-the weekend mentality is embedded throughout our culture.
The mass media...
Our institutions, especially obedience-obsessed schools...
Our friends and family members...and definitely our kids' friends...
They are all conspiring to limit your child's life options.
Your sons and daughters might grow up thinking all they can be is a rock star, a pro athlete, a cop, lawyer, or a teacher.
They might be conditioned to think that if they simply do their school work well that the world will open its doors and roll out a red carpet for them.
We all know by now, that's a lie. We know that A students end up working for C students, if not for flunkies and dropouts!
I can tell you right now that even though I majored in Economics (and Math) at an Ivy League college....I didn't learn a single thing about real world business and entrepreneurship there.
I didn't learn a single thing about how to create meaningful work for myself, how to help others with a service or product, or how to earn significant, sustainable income.
BTW, tuition w/ room, board, and fees at UPenn today is:
$63,526 x 4 years =
$254,104
Most parents today complain that classrooms are too cutthroat, that youth sports have become too intense, that science fairs are too over-the-top....
Out in the real world, i.e. the hyper-competitive global economy, your kids will face even stiffer competition.
Parents resent all the pressure around standardized tests - especially the pressure to hire expensive tutors!
Sadly, this is only the beginning.
Out in the real world, i.e. the hyper-competitive global economy, your kids will face even stiffer competition.
They will be up against not only older and more experienced adults - just as we were - BUT today they will be competing with the hustling Chinese, Indians, and a billion other people who are hungry to work for $2/hour on this now-connected planet.
Oh yeah, in many ways, just as the doomsayers in the media proclaim, they will also be competing against an army of drones and robots!
An early start on Entrepreneurship is a way, actually the only way, to sidestep all this competition and give your kids a major and lasting advantage in life.
Because even if your kids ultimately go to an expensive college and become credentialed professionals...
They will benefit tremendously and have a huge competitive edge in their field if they have an entrepreneurial background.
Well-compensated doctors still need to know how to effectively market themselves to prospective patients.
Successful accountants need to be able to spot and exploit new business opportunities.

Invest in Your Kids Today!
You are going to spend a lot of money on your kids. All of us parents do.
Not only was the best time to plant a tree 20 years ago...
By no means am I saying that TODAY one should invest in stocks, bonds, real estate....artwork, precious metals, web domains, etc. - not unless prices drop precipitously.
If you have an able-bodied parent who is "at-home", the student loan companies will force them to get a Job. I know one such mother who had to get a job bagging groceries so that she could qualify for a student loan (for her kid to just about flunk out of UMass, too).
But 99.9% of parents spend 99.9% of it UNWISELY.
First of all, they spend it at the END of their kids' childhoods, i.e. college tuition, when it's not possible to drastically change their life trajectories.
Recently I was talking to a lawyer, a father of 4 young children....
I reminded him that he was on the hook for 4 college tuitions in about 15 years and the bill for them would total $1.2 million.
And that would represent $1.2 million of net income. He and his wife (though she wasn't working, yet) would have to generate $2 million of gross income just to buy those antiquated if not totally useless pieces of paper (college diplomas).
Not only was the best time to plant a tree 20 years ago...
It was also a much better time to buy stocks, bonds, real estate....artwork, precious metals, web domains, etc.
By no means am I saying that TODAY one should invest in stocks, bonds, real estate....artwork, precious metals, web domains, etc. - not unless prices drop precipitously.
I just want to steer you away from investing in the the missed opportunities of the past.
There was a time when collecting, saving, and preserving baseball cards was a savvy thing to do. Of course, once everyone realized how valuable the cards had become....a whole mess of people started accumulating and preserving them in plastic. So many people started that the gig was over.

The cards I accumulated way back in 1990 are actually worth significantly less today then they were 27 years ago!
College has always been expensive. But now it's priced at gouging levels because demand has exploded as everyone has become convinced that it's an automatic and mandatory path to prosperity.
Did you know that colleges are the only "businesses" that can legally charge customers (you) more based solely on how much money you have?
Imagine you went to a restaurant and they said they were going to charge you triple the normal price for your meal....simply because you drove up in a BMW or were wearing nice clothes.
This is called PRICE DISCRIMINATION, a well-understood economic tactic to maximize profits. Of course, I cover it in my videos.
If you have an able-bodied parent who is "at-home", the student loan companies will force them to get a Job. I know one such mother who had to get a job bagging groceries so that she could qualify for a student loan (for her kid to just about flunk out of UMass, too).
If you have built up any home equity....they will even force you to extract it to help pay for college!
Above you are looking at the #1 most popular ("assigned") economics college textbook.
The author is from Harvard and he is an unethical buffoon to boot.
Again, I've been in the Ivies....and there's really nothing there. Harvard, Yale, and UPenn are nothing to be intimidated by and nothing to strive for - at least if one is interested in the superior Entrepreneur Track.
As you can see, it sells for a staggering $386 !!!
The author is from Harvard and he is an unethical buffoon to boot.
How so you might ask?
Well he churns out "updated" copies of his book as fast as he can so students can't buy "used" copies on the cheap. AND he has all sorts of "incentives" sent to professors who assign his $386 books to their students - which their parents pay for, naturally.
Even worse, you could read his book top-to-bottom 3 times and it won't help you understand anything about how you can create your own profitable business or in any way thrive in the economy!
Again, I've been in the Ivies....and there's really nothing there. Harvard, Yale, and UPenn are nothing to be intimidated by and nothing to strive for - at least if one is interested in the superior Entrepreneur Track.
How Much Does the Entrepreneur Course Cost?
Right now, and before I raise it again, it will cost you only $4.50 per week.
So contrast one of my weekly modules at $4.50 with the nearly $200 that a single 60-minute college class on the Job Track will ultimately cost you.
The Entrepreneurship Course essentially costs NOTHING compared to everything else. It's guaranteed to be a MONEY-SAVER and a MONEY MAKER for your family.
Are the Classes LIVE?
They are recorded on a LIVE webinar that some of the students attend to give the module a back-and-forth, conversational flow. Any students are welcome to attend LIVE....they just have to let me know and I will be glad to add them to the webinars. Right now the classes are mostly at 9am EST (GMT-5) on Thursdays. Note - the vast majority of enrollees do not attend live but instead "binge" watch the recordings in the membership portal.
Who are the students in the class?
Not only do the ages span, but the kids are from all across America and now also in Europe. Some are in schools. Some are homeschooled. Some have just graduated high school. They age from 8-19. Actually, A LOT of parents follow along as well. And why wouldn't they? This is exciting and powerful stuff that I am covering!
What is the difficulty level of the material?
I skew the difficulty of the material up a little, of course. So the younger kids are on the brighter and more ambitious side.
Doesn't one have to be wired for entrepreneurship?
That's what I used to think. But nope. Anyone can be entrepreneurial. There's no height requirement nor any age or ability requirement. Success is purely a product of hustle and starting early. That's it!

So I'm "all in" on learning, teaching, and implementing entrepreneurship. A large and integral part of this Entrepreneurship Course is me sharing my own journey.
In the learning modules, I pull the curtain back and show behind-the-scenes of my websites, my marketing campaigns, my affiliate links, my YouTube strategies, my podcast, etc.
John read that same famous marketing book ("The Ultimate Sales Letter") that Tim Ferriss read at age 15....when he was only 9!
That's right I took my 11 year old to a 4-day marketing conference - actually two of them last year.
Like I said, I am "all-in" on this Entrepreneurship journey.
John was excited to eventually meet the author, direct marketing "god" Dan Kennedy at a conference in 2016.
