Since summer is approaching fast and jobs will be very hard to come by this summer, your best bet is to create your own summer job.

Here is a suggestion: why not organize a group for brainstorming to find business opportunities in your area? The brainstorming technique is explained in the Whiz Teens in Business book. Being several teens together should allow you to come up with some brilliant ideas that you will be able to use to make some money this summer.

See the Webinar Program for the upcoming webinars.
