About a year ago, I got a mail from him letting me know about his best friend’s blog (I remind you that they are ten years old). His best friend loves baseball and set up a blog with trivia and current events and commentary. It was nice to see the kid’s initiative, but what even impressed me more was his use of Google Adwords advertising campaigns which is based on what the industry calls Pay Per Click (PPC). Google pays out to advertisers for each click that is generated from their website – an excellent way to generate passive income. I take off my hat the this little boy for his entrepreneurial spirit (Lesson number one in this post).
The e-mail that I received today blew me away!
The subject line was: My Charity - with a subject line like that I of course opened the mail immediately and this is what was written:
Hi Everyone!
My best friend Brandon has a sister named Arielle who recently created
a charity to cure pediatric cancer. Her charity is called, A Dollar
Campaign. Visit to her website at: adollarcampaign.org. Arielle's
charity that she confounded with her best friend only asks for one
dollar from everyone. If everyone donated one dollar- imagine!
Arielle's mission is to find the cure to pediatric cancer one dollar at
a time. Join her effort! If you can, please sign up for her free
newsletter and leave a comment!
I surfed around in Arielle’s site for a while. I read about Arielle and her partner. I looked at all the tabs and I was sorry that there was no electronic payment option, because I would have given my Dollar happily.
Neomi and I really, really, believe that “money” is not just about the money that you bring home or the amount written on your balance sheet. Money is a resource that you can and should use to enrich your life and the lives of others around you. (Lesson number two ).
Arielle found a great way to enrich her life and the lives of others around her.
How can you use your money to enrich your life?
