Over the past five months I’ve been stunned by how many people without kids are repeatedly, every week, liking, sharing, and commenting on my blog posts.
Why are so many people without kids clicking and sharing?
One older lady put it to me this way: “There are a lot of us who really, really care about the future of this country. We believe that the solutions to a lot of our problems will likely come from the hearts and minds of the good kids who are in middle school and high school and college right now. We want these kids to be able to finish college and then be free to change the world for the better!! Not be stuck chained to jobs they hate to pay off piles of student loan debt! Of course we’re passing around your blog posts as much as we can!”

What about you?
Maybe you don’t have kids. Maybe your kids grew up and flew the nest a long time ago. You can still be a part of changing the world for millions of future students — possibly for our entire country. All you have to do is click “share.” You may never know how many lives you touch and change by doing this. When a new family begins to follow me, they usually save $50,000 or more on college costs. But that’s really the least of what I do for them.
Here’s what you can do right now.
Scroll through the blog posts on this website and find three that look like they might really help a future college student. Click “share” on all three. Do this every time you see one of my blog posts on Facebook, Twitter, or Linkedin. If we get a thousand people to start doing this regularly, we will literally change the world.
Here’s the most up-to-date news about my upcoming book!
My book LAUNCH: How to Get Your Kids Through College Debt Free and Into Jobs They Love Afterward is finished and is currently undergoing “content editing” by Stacy Ennis (stacyennis.com), the nationally known book editor who wrote the classic book on book editing entitled “The Editor’s Eye.” (Google “best book editor” and Stacy Ennis’s name comes up first in the google rankings!)
The book will be going through multiple rounds of copyediting, design work, and proofing, and will be available for purchase — when? I’m not exactly sure! Subscribe to my email newsletter on this site so you’ll receive the release date as soon as that date is available.
One huge thing needs to happen before this book release date.
Before this book officially launches, I need to pull together a massive national audience of students, parents, grandparents, and others who are eager to see young lives changed for the better. I need to connect with thousands of people in each of these career fields:
* Financial planners and accountants
* High school and middle school guidance counselors
* College admissions consultants
* College admissions staff
* Teachers
* Youth pastors
* High school and middle school principals
* College advisors
* College professors
* College and career counselors
People who are ready to see massive numbers of kids graduating from college completely debt free and moving directly into careers they excel at and love. People who are are ready to see good kids set free to change the world.
Who do you know who currently works in these career fields? Click share — and type in their name.
To amass this audience, I’m going to be launching a massive crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter.com in the next few months. Watch for that, and when you see it — share, share, share. This Kickstarter campaign, if successful, will catapult us from helping just a few thousand families — to helping millions.
