Just an Apology

So I wanted to say to all of the people following this blog that I'm sorry for not updating it recently. I myself have been starting to create my own new business and it's still in it's beginning stages as of now. But... once it is complete I'm hoping that teens find it quite helpful in their struggle to become small business owners themselves. Hopefully I will have the website finished and fully operational within one month. Once it is finished I will post all of the steps and the process of which I used to create my new business. All the way from the lawyers and taxes to the actual team that helped me build it and the financial aspects. So stay tuned and I'll get that to you. In the mean time I will try to keep you posted on whats new in the teen business world and feel free to contact me for tips and references as to great books to read to help you get started.
Yours Truly,
JM

A Teen Entertainer Making It a Business!

It's sad to say but most people (especially teens) get the misconception that the only way to make money in business anymore is either in selling a product or a service. Making money in the entertainment business is pretty much just a far fetched dream. Well... Let me tell you a little secret...That's a Lie! Now I may not be the guy who should be criticizing something like this because I too am guilty of thinking it impossible to make money in any other way than selling a product. But today, I admit, I was proved wrong, and that you can make money in that Industry. And I got the perfect example... AND IT'S NOT JUSTIN BIEBER (talented and rolling in the dough he may be, but way too mainstream). One kid I'm talking about however grew up with me and we actually have known each other ever since pre-school. He is now the drummer of The Farthest Edge and probably one of the best teen drummers I have ever seen...Seriously! And his name happens to be Zack Goggins. Luckily being a good friend of his, he allowed me to write this blog post about him in order to inspire up and coming musicians. If you got the talent, the dedication, and know the right people, it's definitely possible! Zack Goggins grew up in Billings, Montana on his grandfathers ranch and started drumming when he was about 11 years old and has been making beats ever since.Talk about a success story right?? A rockstar drummer in no-where-ville Billings, Montana! Awesome. Well hopefully that gives hope to those who that have been told it can't be done. Because it can! But it may not come easily. Zack practices with his band 2 hours a day every day drumming with his band after school. To put that into perspective I want to show you guys where Zack started out and how he's doing today. To learn more click on this link following his band The Farthest Edge at  thefarthestedge.com . Click on the video above to see where he was when he was 11.
Yours Truly,
