[Music]
hands up if you have one of these in
your pocket or handbag right now this
can hold the key to your positive change
and look I know it has for me ever since
a young age I’ve always pondered the
question what even is positive change
and looking after speaking to and
talking to professionals and researching
their work and watch my own personal
results Scouts are brand new heights
it’s come back down to one thing it’s a
before you can start making positive
change in others you need to start
making it within yourself I was able to
think about think outside the box and
watch my own personal ecommerce results
scale and not only did you know make a
bit of money off it but it also enabled
me to start creating that creative
change within others which for me was
something I’ve always been passionate
about I created my first online business
at the age of 12 my goals have always
been a moving target but one thing has
still remained true I am able to create
positive change from my laptop and my
phone but the best part about it all is
that I’m able to do it from my bedroom
to the beach or pretty much anywhere
with a Wi-Fi connection my first goal
was
let’s make 10 dollars online then it
became how can I start making positive
change within the lives of anyone that I
meet through social media but now at 16
it’s gone deeper it’s now how can I
create positive change in the lives of
people who need my help in empowering
their financial future whether that
dream be buying a new car or feeding the
homeless I’m here today to convince you
that you don’t have to be anyone special
you can be just like me and you can go
out there and you can do it too we all
know that is incredibly hard to create
change without the means I study by
Northwestern Mutual showed that money
was the main concern of our population
day wouldn’t you think that since we
think about it also often getting it
would be as easy well your grandmother
might tell you no but the answer is yes
we are without a doubt no matter how
many problems are going on in the world
today if we put into perspective living
through the greatest error in human
history ever period never before has
there been a better opportunity for a
sixteen-year-old to become an
entrepreneur and the fact that he could
do it all from his pocket I read an
article a few months ago and it’s
interesting to me to see how just short
five years ago all kids wanted to become
was the next policeman or fire man and
you know that’s a really really really
cool thing but fast-forward to 2018 now
will they want to become is the next
youtube star or the next budding
entrepreneur not many people realize it
but social media has given hundreds of
thousands of people just like you and me
in the exact same opportunity the
opportunity for money never to be an
issue again and the opportunity to take
that money and start making that
creative change do you wanna know why
I’m so optimistic and incredibly excited
it’s because of this thing this thing
wasn’t around when my parents were
growing up and it certainly wasn’t
around when they were building their
first business it has enabled me to
reach thousands of people within just a
short Instagram story or give me you
know an hour I can run a Facebook ad and
I can reach millions in impact and
change their lives there is no reason
why you can’t do it too but the best
part about this whole thing
is it a blows in excuses you have about
not doing it for yourself out of the
water look if you’re a good cook why
can’t you create a cooking YouTube
channel telling everyone about those
fancy new spices you just put into your
dish or you’re a really funny guy you’re
the life of the party at every single
one you go to why not post daily jokes
every single day on Facebook you can
literally turn this machine on to
yourself
create content on something you’re
interested in and share it on a platform
of your choice for free this absolutely
absolutely blows my mind and it should
yours too
even with all this opportunity it
fascinates me how many people sit back
and go this isn’t for me and look and
maybe it’s not but I know that you could
think of 50 different examples in your
own life where you just sat back and
left things to chance and absolutely
nothing I mean nothing changed look if
there is one thing that you can take
away from today just one thing it’s the
opportunity to go out there and empower
your financial future has never been
better but the opportunity for you to
take that financial empowerment and then
go change the lives of others in your
community or on a global scale
and that opportunity has never been
easier look it is interesting for me to
see the guys and girls here in front of
me today who are 20-something odd and
running around like headless chickens
screaming I don’t know what I wanted to
do with my life
and look you don’t have to be Mark
Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos you just have
to know a little about a little bit
about something or have a product just
like I do and a will and a way to sell
it online and change the lives of others
if you want to know why you aren’t
making a difference in your own life or
you aren’t empowering anyone else I’m
sure that if he took the time just a few
minutes to look deep within you’ll
realize it’s because you haven’t even
got started the most underestimated
commodity here today is time it doesn’t
matter who you are what you look like
what your background is from we all have
time but you just need to get started
for me once I figured that out I stopped
running a marathon and I stopped
sprinting and I started playing the long
game and look for me that had
instrumental impact and I know it can
for you too I encourage you it doesn’t
matter who you are as I said what you
look like what your background is what
you do or don’t know just turn this bone
onto yourself you spend the next two
years giving your unconditional truth
giving unconditional value and I can
guarantee you that you will make more
change than you could ever dream of if
used wisely this phone right here can
create that positive change thank you
