Bootstrapping Your Life At Seventeen
When high school students think about the future the ambitious ones seem to think no further than the transcript. Plenty of teens are content to party their way through their school years committed to classes or not. Those who do commit do so to wrangle a top spot in college. But can your career start early? If you can who shows you how?
Jeff John Scott and Wyatt of Castlewave LLC Spanish Fork UT have discovered that ambition and adolescence make a perfect match. At the age of seventeen these four friends have bypassed the food service industry to go straight into the online realm. Called the Linkers at their company they have done more before college than many students do aftereven the ambitious ones.
When Rich Christiansen and Ron Porter began writing a handson guide to bootstrapping your own business they realized that the principles needed proving. As part of the experiment they founded a websiteBootstrap Business and hired the Linkers to start fleshing things out. Their goal? Make one million dollarsbut start with only 5000. Rich and Ron theorize that anybody with a worthy goal a work ethic and a bit of solid knowhow can succeed.
Among Jeff John Scott and Wyatt the responsibilities they carry sound just like an upperdivision corporate engineering team. They research markets and demographics brainstorming ideas that give birth to website ventures. High school life and high tech research produce websites that range from Online Dating Services to Pizza coupon even to free clip art. One of their biggest accomplishments was pushing www.1Pizzacoupons.com to the top ranks of Google when you search pizza coupons they did this in an amazing 5 weeks! While Jeff and John spearhead most of the web asset management each of the Linkers takes a role in managing at least one of the companys assets. In addition to that responsibility Scott also leads out with managing an engineering team in India and Wyatt is the assigned theorizerpondererthat is his brain does most of the storming and testing.
While other high school students are learning how to grease a lawnmower or potato slices the Linkers learn monetization methods Internet marketing human and asset management and the structure and process of consulting. All of these lessons and more come directly from Rich and Rons tutelage as well as from their book and website. More than making money these students break new ground. They prove that high school isnt just for AP tests after all.
Most recently the Linkers created www.universalclipart.com which offers free clipart. This website received praise from another image library for its clean professional layout in contrast with the often messy and hardtonavigate layout of similar sites that offer free clipart. With the likes of Cats and DogsTell also under their belt the Linkers prove their unique job even while Rich and Ron prove the principles of their Book. Money definitely helpsall four are saving for college and a volunteer mission for their church The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saintsbut more importantly these four have learned just what Rich and Ron wanted to teach. In high school and in life transcripts are secondary to what actually transpires. If they do it right they can make it meaningfuland maybe they can make their millions.

Better Than Franchise. A Uncommon Way To Financial Freedom
To make money online many people jump right in before they are properly prepared. You know that to be a rocket scientist a doctor a brick layer a construction worker an office worker a teacher there are prerequisites things you must learn before you can be successful you don’t just jump right in unprepared.
The same applies to the Internet marketing industry even though there are unsavory people out there who’d have you believe it’s a Walk in the Park and requires no more than the belief that you can just do it.
And I’ll have to admit it is a walk in the park compared to what you have to put up with in the working world punching a clock being a subordinate to someone who does not have your interests in mind but there are still rules you have to follow and pitfalls you must avoid to actually make Internet marketing work for you.
Most people will not make a dime online and yet there are others who will make more in one month than most people make in a whole year. Why is that?
My answer begins with the ageold chicken or egg question what comes first the chicken or the egg? Personally I vote for well never mind each argument you or I make comes back to the same old conclusion I have no clue and I don’t think many of us do either.
But one thing I do have a clue about and know for sure is that to make money online you must first have Passion for the company products and/or service of any Internet business from which you expect to make money.
Passion in this sense simply means that you’ve researched and like the company and products or services. It is then that you translate that like or Passion into the education excitement and work that usually accompany Passion.
I will have to say that many online entrepreneurs are so good at what they do that they ignore passion because they can sell anything. But I’m concerned about those of you who are not so knowledgeable at working an online business successfully.
Now I’m not trying to make anyone believe that Passion is the only thing necessary. Because to be successful you must also have a good website good marketing widespread advertising company support effective keywords and etc. Those things are often learned from the company you join but sidestep Passion and you reduce your chances for success dramatically.
It therefore follows that if you have no Passion for the company and the products and services provided by that company again you won’t attempt to do the work you are being taught.
Internet marketing work is typically not all that difficult or time consuming but it does take motivation caused by Passion to get you off and running with a sustained effort so that you won’t stumble.
You have a great resource in the Internet search engines to search about the Internet Marketing industry for business opportunities USE IT!
Your research should uncover a company that you like and have confidence in. It should be solid founded on great principles and easy to understand with great products and services that are sellable for which you can have Passion. If you don’t find it move on
You can find the right opportunity containing the attributes identified above.
Comments like well that one sounds good and the compensation plan is excellent so I guess I’ll start that business does not sound like a decision based on anything near Passion. And remember when you hear that an Internet guru does that don’t be tempted because as I said earlier they are experienced and can sell just about anything without being Passionate about the company products and services.
Note: By the way it’s your goal to get to the point where you can sell about anything online. That end skill and goal is a worthy one indeed.
Remember there are other steps you must make before you step into Internet Marketing but if you don’t first find the right company products and services to be passionate about all of those other steps may just cause you a lot of frustration instead of bringing you great success.
Not being Passionate about a company and products and services that has market proof that it will sell is a pitfall you simply must avoid.
