Considering sky high college tuition costs, high unemployment and underemployment, edutainment may be ready to take off. Edutainment = education + entertainment.
People are reading and looking at the web sites of Robert T Kiyosaki, You Tube, sites with free lectures and tutorials, the CBOE's web site and others. People buy books and dvds to be educated and entertained.
I predict the self help (self education) industry will really grow. There could be viable alternatives to traditional schools and colleges for some subjects in the near future. Edutainment and self help are excellent for entrepreneurs and investors who want to hone their skills. Schools don't really teach financial skills.
People are taking on $100,000 or more in student loans, and living with their parents in order to pay the debt. The debt could have been paid into a Roth IRA or funding a small business instead.

Get Your Master Mind Group Moving
If your Master Mind group is not functioning at the level you would like it to be, read on.
These days, you need to be a one man think tank to really succeed. Think about that for a second.
The news media is awash with pure 100% unadulterated bullshit about success, news, money, etc.
The sheeple obey. The guys who reach the Forbes 400 are different. They make the rules. They change the rules. They don't necessarily obey the talking heads.
How did they succeed? By questioning the assumptions of others and their own. They took risks. Calculated risks. They did math. They spend their time reading, learning skills, researching, talking to people, and figuring out their target customers.
They didn't worry about what some sophomoric ass said on TV. They followed their bliss.
So there you have it. Recruit "One Man Think Tanks" to your Master Mind and get to work.
More about this in the Black Book of the Master Mind part 2. Coming soon.

Financial Independence: Things Have Changed
In the old economy, you could work and invest in mutual funds for 40 years and have a great chance to be financially independent by age 60. Today, the situation is very different. In this article, I will attempt to explain why and what to do about it.
Technology is changing rapidly. Today's entrepreneurs and workers need more technical skills than ever. Technological change will continue rapidly. You can't learn everything, but determine what skills will help you the most. What skills do employers need in your area? What you need to do now is assess where your skills are and get the classes or books that will help you.
If you have the opportunity, consider learning about nanotechnology. Nanotechnology will likely be as devastating to traditional companies as the Internet.
Lots of people are in college these days. But are they really learning to program computers really well? Are they encouraged to start a business while they are in school? Is tuition going to really hurt them financially after they graduate? Are students really being made as competitive in the workplace as they should be?
In the old days, getting business loans or love money for your business was relatively easy. These days, more people are broke and loans are expensive. My suggestion is that you bootstrap your business and improve it as you make sales. If you cannot make any sales, then you don't really have a business.
Knowing the markets and how to invest will help a great deal in raising capital for a business or the account you intend to live off of until your untimely demise. So, spend some of your free time reading investing books, and newsletters. Following the market and a watch list will help you learn too. Being able to trade is important, because, buying and holding mutual funds for the last ten years did not result in major gains, like in the past.
Do the work necessary and learn to invest. Sure, some of the books are expensive and the market opens pretty early. But I urge you to do it. Having others invest for you means to pay considerable fees and you have no control.
What did Napoleon Hill say during the Great Depression? He said, "Don't worry about what THEY say." This statement is still very true. Pursue your dreams and leave the sheeple behind you. Have the masses or the talking heads leaded you to wealth? Probably not, so shut them out and busy yourself with the pursuit of financial independence.
If you are interested, proceed to my site, http://www.renegadeuniversity.net and read more. Don't waste time or make huge mistakes in your finances, visit http://www.renegadeuniversity.net.

Don't Worry About what "They" Say...
...worry about what Napoleon Hill says.
Use your differences. Be different from the sheeple. Connect with like-minded people.
Plan your future. Plan in as much detail as possible, every major part of your life, including health goals.
Know you are good. Know your phony friends and the toxic "they" are just that, toxic.
Instead, feel good about yourself. Know you are worthy of your goals.
Feed your body and mind the best diet possible, every day.
Check in with your Master Mind group from time to time.

The Power of Creating a Mastermind Group
Who has not heard of Napoleon Hill? And indeed, who has not heard of his classic Think and Grow Rich? The book, published in 1937, contains great ideas that have made their impact upon the whole world all through these years and are relevant even today. Masterminding is two or more individuals coming together to accomplish more than either could alone. The thought is working together creates harmony and purposeful relationships. This group helps to bring out your creative genius and expand your ideas into greatness.
The secret sauce is that each one knows that the ultimate aim is to reach your destination by brainstorming, supporting ideas that need support but at the same time offering constructive criticism. Each member should remember that it is the group to which the agenda belongs. All members are expected to participate in order to move the group to new heights. A sincere mastermind group offers experience to members. Your ability to grow and become a better individual in your personal and business life is highly likely. This is assuming that like minded people are coming together. The greatest asset that you have is a ready-made support network. Other benefits include: confidence builder, accountability partners, and feedback.
Who can create a successful mastermind group?
People who see themselves as:
interacting with people of similar interests and skills.
committed to a give and take relationship.
laser focused and goal oriented
passionate about taking their success to the next level
committed to the cause to help and be helped.
Your mastermind group does not have to be formal. Many of you are probably part of a powerful group but have not officially formed or titled your group. Examples: military groups, book clubs, mom or dad groups, other support groups. All of these groups can be formed into more powerful alliances at any given time. Initially, the ideal number of members should not be more than 6. New members can be admitted, provided they meet the quality standards that should be in place. It is recommended that new members have the approval of all the existing members. A membership fee can be imposed.
Questions to ask potential members of your mastermind group:
Are you committed to your own goals?
Are you willing to commit to helping others reach their goals?
Will you commit to weekly, bi-weekly or monthly meetings?
What skills have you developed that will benefit the group?
What skills can the group provide to you to assist in your endeavors?
Ways to meet:
Mastermind groups can meet in person, on the telephone, or by tele-conferencing. During the meeting, each member should update the group on what has happened since the last meeting, including new opportunities or obstacles. Have members ask for resources if needed at this time.
