Here's the lengthy comment I tried to post on Rhea's Youtube video.

She's not kidding.

This is the only professional-level conference I've ever heard of that allows, let alone WELCOMES, teens.

I've been to one of these conferences, so I've seen firsthand that families attend together, and enjoy the time together too.

Have you ever been to a business seminar with your teen(s?)

Think about it.

It's a great way for our young people to get introduced to the world of internet business.

And if you're lucky, one or more of your family members will find a business model that suits their personality; or matches what they like; and then they can begin to build that business from there.

Making a decision of what to do with your life is not easy.

Teens are pressured from about eighth or ninth grade with the big question: What are you going to do with your life?

And in my kids' school, they didn't have enough counselors to give adequate guidance to every single young person. Not enough time, and too many students.

This forces teens to either make un-prepared choices, or decisions based on time pressure.

And what about the dad or mom working hard, but un-satisifed in their current job.

Or for some, they're working in jobs where they fear they'll be "let go" due to economic circumstances or any number of other reasons?

Or, they just plain hate it. (Who am I to judge why?)

Living in fear or dread is living with a ball and chain. And some people are literally stuck.

I've had jobs, and maybe you have too...

Where you already begin on Sunday to feel like you're choking; or you even feel depressed that you're going to have to get up and go in to that same place and work at a job you hate.

And nowadays, it's commonplace to have jobs that don't even provide 40 whole hours of work.

And good luck piecing together two PT jobs to get one whole job.

My HB has had two job changes in the past year due to the companies not having enough work.

Scrambling around to keep from losing everything has been wrenching.

How do you feed families and meet bill payments like that?

Oh and what about the weather-related devastation this country is experiencing?

So many things happening to families' finances.

Well at a seminar like this one, everyone has a chance to learn (directly from a successful expert) about different businesses models. -- Usually these can be done from home using your computer and the Internet.

Do you think it would relieve some pressure if you knew you could earn a living from anywhere, as long as yo had access to a computer with Internet connection?

And you get to hear about businesses directly from successful entrepreneurs. As a kid from south Detroit, being in the same room with an entrepreneur who is willing to teach you their system for success is a big deal!

That was the main draw for me when I went.

I wanted to see for myself what all of this "earn money from home" stuff was all about.

So many times, we are duped into thinking that everyone and anyone can earn money from home with some system that sounds like money will just fall from the sky.

What I learned gave me a start. And I had some personal circumstances that set me back, making X amount per year due to going to this conference.

But what I can truthfully say, is that is was worthwhile, and it is worthwhile. B/C it opens your eyes to the possibilities.

Plus, maybe your circumstances are better than mine were. Then you or your kids can start a journey into becoming an entrepreneur. Just like the founders of America.

How would that sound to say you are an entrepreneur. Or your teen is an entrepreneur?

How would it feel to grab onto a real golden opportunity, not some fairy tale?

Okay, this post is much longer than I intended. And no, this is not a paid-for sales letter. This is just me, being real. (On the open Internet, what am I thinking?)

But I know that a video posted on this site has the potential of reaching many people.

And I wanted to do my part and get this important message out to you.

Going to a conference like this one can change the financial destiny of you and/or your children.

This is not a pitch for the sake of making sales.

This is from my heart to yours.

I hope it is taken as it's intended.

Sincerely,

Alicia Golden-Herrera
