and you feed him for a day.
Teach a person to fish

TEEN Millionaire:
Instructor Information
In the realm of instructing, the goal is to motivate and train "Instructors" who will make presentations of the "So, You want to be a Millionaire?" PowerPoints to teens and then help young people to begin TEEN Millionaire Clubs that enable them to mentor each other in the early stages as they work through their TEEN Millionaire Planners. If logistics prevent me from presenting the TEEN Millionaire seminar, I will provide long-distance instructor coaching and electronic versions of the PowerPoints and Teen Millionaire Planners for free. My goal is to help young Americans learn how to use free enterprise both to earn their economic freedom as well as to learn the relationship between free enterprise and freedom.
The Teen Millionaire Clubs page of this website contains information on starting clubs for students who want to share information on saving and investing.
Again, geography permitting, it may be possible for me to make the initial PowerPoint presentation of Teen Millionaire at high schools or colleges.Presentations for high school and college students have been well received at Parkland College, Champaign, IL, at the Governor’s School sponsored by the Iacocca Institute at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA. and at the Vanguard School in Colorado Springs, CO.
Initially,in terms of personal presentations, I would like to partner with high schools, colleges and churches in Colorado, Wyoming, northern New Mexico, Utah central Illinois and Western Pennsylvania. But there does NOT need to be any geographic limitation on helping trainers to present the materials anywhere.
Instructor inquiries on the TEEN Millionaire Movement are welcome through the Contact page of this website or at wmmarshall@aol.com.
My goal is to help young adults discover how to buy their economic freedom on the installment plan and to break the slavery of debt imposed by consumerism and the debt of prior generations, and to realize the relationship between dynamic free enterprise and freedom.
A person without money has fewer choices. Once a person is in debt, s/he no longer works for himself; s/he works for others.
HOW HAVE TEENS AND TEACHERS RECEIVED THE TEEN MILLIONAIRE SEMINAR?
Student Attendee Comments:
"Awesome!"
"I didn’t know it would be that easy to be a millionaire."
"It opened my eyes to a lot more things than just people telling me I have to save and never telling me how."
"It wasn’t boring like other seminars I’ve been to. I actually learned something."
"You can make a million dollars without a perfect job or perfect grades."
"I learned you can be rich if you save. I learned a lot about stocks & portfolios. I decided I am going to be a millionaire."
Teacher Attendee Comments:
"Very informative and good for young people to know early."
"Step by step on how to save. Very easy presentation to follow.
"Student involvement was good. Teen level PowerPoint-colorful, catchy graphics, etc. Mr. Marshall put terminology/explanations on H.S. student level... Breaks/snacks of candy & sodas worked for kids!"
"Very informative from a different point of view..."
Guidance Counselor Attendee Comments:
"Very Valuable Info!"
"... this information should be required for every high school student. If so may(be) our whole economy could be made healthier. Consumer Ed in high school cannot cover this information adequately. By the time the students realize that they need to save, it is too late."
"Mr. Marshall explained the concepts of saving very well. This workshop is needed! In fact it ought to be mandatory for all graduating seniors."
"It made basic concepts of financial planning very understandable for high school students. The literature and graphics were excellent. Thank you!"
