I can't help but notice that each speaker seems to be more interesting than the previous. Mike is no exception. He instantly caught my attention with his vivacious humor and blunt honestly. I do believe that I've learned more from him than any other speaker. From the three main marketing advantages to prioritization, the most important thing that Mike taught me was that my choices not only affect me but my family as well and the reality of being an entrepreneur is that success revolves around determination, hard work, and perseverance. This meant a lot  to me because I'm  one of the many teens who've had to grow up faster than most due to my responsibilities.  I've always had to make tough choices, and my personal hope is that I keep my family close to my heart. But there will come a time that I have to think about the big picture and make a choice that could make or break me. Mike has done this by following his heart. And although he isn't as successful as he could have been, he is happy with his life and his family is happy as well. I think that the choice he made was illogical but necessary and worth the risk. In my eyes he has become more successful than any millionaire. Honestly, at the beginning of this program I was a bit hesitant to speak out. I suppose I have to get used to those around me before confidently speaking. But after getting a bit deeper into the program I was more than willing to share what was on my mind. It's so hard to believe that tomorrow is our last meeting. It's been a true honor to participate with such great people, two hours a week make a real difference. I'll make sure I thank everyone for there time and advice. when I become successful I will make sure that returning the favor and enlighten the next generation of entrepreneurs is on the top of my list.
