I have always considered myself a visionary. At 12 years old, I pictured a future of digital and satellite radios becoming commonplace in our automobiles. I drew a diagram depicting a car, transponder and satellite — and how those components would all tie together. As for digital radio, I imagined ground-based repeaters working alongside traditional FM transmitters, to deliver localized digital radio broadcasts. These were only a few of my ideas, which all manifested these past few years. Was I first to think of it? Of course not, but at 12 years old, how many kids are thinking that far ahead?

Aside from being a visionary in my own right, I have always had a big imagination. I have a story to tell, and few know it. Few are aware of the relationships I cultivated with several companies such as Microsoft and J.B. Hunt transport. As a teenager, I was seeking business knowledge from the real world. I couldn’t wait for college or even high school to give me a glimpse. Thus, I started a mission to reach out to these companies, and guess what? They responded. And they continued responding, and I made new friends, spoke to executives on a first name basis, etc.

Now, I am ready to bring my imagination, big ideas and intelligence to the forefront. I have decided that I want to become a billionare. At 26 years old, I could achieve this by 40. How will I do it? Through innovative business strategies, investments and acquisitions. A dollar can be made by anyone. Wealth is easily attained. The difference is how we train ourselves to believe we can. If you think and act big, you will only achieve the goals you set out to accomplish.

Longterm, my goal is to become a full-time philanthropist. I enjoy helping people, and raw financial power will help to realize my dream. Anything in life is possible, we just have to believe it is.
