We will all get money without earning it the old-fashioned way, it's just a matter of how we handle it.

This workshop tells how not to do it and what to do when we do get it - without earning it. It may not play out until many years down the road, but this could be the difference that puts you on a different path in life. |

Right, we know, young people aren't thinking about that right now. Never to early to hear about it though. It's worth it. |
