For the past 3 years, I've been trying to do my part to educate young people in entrepreneurship skills, first by teaching at the Barrett Honors College at ASU and then by opening up the Nation's first College of Entrepreneurship at Grand Canyon University. Recently, I started a second College of Entrepreneurship at San Diego's Southern States University, where I will serve as their Chancellor. My goal is to open up 100 Colleges of Entrepreneurship across the U.S., so that our children may learn self reliance skills and enter into the ranks as skilled entrepreneurs and not as yet another automaton of a failed Corporate America. Would your own alma mater be interested in having a College of Entrepreneurship? (www.instituteforentrepreneurship.com)
As most of you know, several former students and I started Club Entrepreneur (www.clubenetwork.com), which now hosts monthly meetings across the Valley, Colorado, Texas and California in multiple chapters with thousands of members. With the rapid growth of our local chapters comes the need to expand our need for interesting speakers, so I am reaching out to you to see if you would be able to recommend someone who would speak at one of our monthly Club E meetings. Upcoming events are listed on the link below and we'd really appreciate your input, if you or one of your contacts would like to be our featured speaker in upcoming months. Thank you.

A very exciting new development is the launch of the eFactory, which promises to become part of the solution in jump starting our economy from the grass roots of entrepreneurship. Offering a state-of-the-art facility for start-ups and seasoned business owners alike, the eFactory provides mentoring, education and the support of fellow comrades-in-arms - other entrepreneurs. Check out our web site at www.clubefactory.com and be my guest for a tour of our proto-type at 101 and Cave Creek in Phoenix by connecting with me.
We are very fortunate to have recently penned a deal to expand the eFactory across the country with our new real estate partner, Green Street Properties (www.greenstreetweb.com). Our first joint venture with them opens in Gilbert in the next several months, to be followed by eFactories in Chandler and Goodyear and then Las Vegas and Dallas.
How you could really help us is to spread the word of the eFactory to any and all of your contacts that are thinking of moving into a new office or are running their enterprises from home and need a change. Our all inclusive work spaces and private offices cost a fraction of comparable office space and offer so much more in the form of support and camaraderie. Additionally, you could really help us by steering interesting workshop and seminar providers, who will use our facility and membership to put on events on a shared revenue basis with us. Perhaps, you have had an inkling to teach your own class or share your own knowledge through a seminar? Get in touch with me, please.
The United States is now facing the greatest financial crises in its history and I truly believe, that only the combined efforts of the E(ntrepreneur)-class will be able to right the wrongs caused by the ineptitude, greed and corruption of Corporate America. Please join me to help educate, support and mentor the next generation of entrepreneurs, who will bring America back to its rightful place as the world's greatest nation.
