Created by the Renegade CEO’s own Dallas, TX based Marshall Haas, the LimitlessVC BizBreak Contest (@BizBreak on Twitter) has launched and is in full motion. BizBreak is giving 1 remarkable entrepreneur 50% of the BizBreak app profits + $3,000! And what’s different about this VC fund is you DO NOT have to pay the money back. If that alone has motivated you to apply for the contest and you don’t like reading small print and just want to cut to the chase - Enter here: http://bit.ly/bizbreak

Otherwise keep reading and watch Whitney’s video :)

So why is it a Minimum of $3,000? Well because you determine the jackpot. The amount of money increases in the Limitless VC fund based on each purchase of the controversial (but entertaining) iphone app BizBreak . In the BizBreak app you score points every time you land a punch on your demeaning smart mouth boss…I know, I know…it’s a bit of dark humor.  Ask @marshallhaas (on Twitter) how many times the app was censored and rejected before it finally got approved.

Also, I promised Renegade CEO Whitney Washington, CEO, of Puzzle Piece Promotions, I would post her video that she created for the contest. She is a very talented self-taught videographer based in FL. She is currently enrolled in her first year at Full Sail University (FL) where she is getting formal training in video production, typography etc. Excellent piece Whitney! Great job on your video and good luck with the contest!

Whitney’s famous saying is: Stop trying to find yourself….Create Yourself! See her creative expression below:

The American Free Enterprise. Dream Big. campaign is hosting the I Am Free Enterprise Video Contest and offering $100,000 in cash prizes for the most innovative, creative, and compelling story!

(Separate and independent of this contest, while noseying around on their website I noticed that they have a section called “Share Your Story” or something to that effect. So even if you don’t want to enter the contest, definitely rock some bootleg, cash strapped, guerrilla marketing through their website. It is a project of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce so you will definitely get some great exposure >> deets here http://bit.ly/bXFYzT )

Are you Free Enterprise? Do you know America’s next great inventor? Have you successfully launched a business or created a new product?

If you (or someone you know) has a great free enterprise story to tell or idea to share, we want to hear it!

[Note from your teenbizcoach - remember if your video requires you to share your idea/an idea, share the what and the problem it solves....not the HOW or your 'secret sauce']. If you are unsure of how to do this, send me a shout out and I will support you with this.

okie dokes- NOW

Shoot a 3-minute video explaining what free enterprise means and submit it to the contest.

Entries must be received by April 9, 2010 at 6 pm EDT.

Danielle Herb, 15, The Horse Listener to be Featured on Rengade Teens Radio Debut

Washington, DC – Danielle Herb, of Drop Your Reins, was announced today as the first guest on Renegade Teens Radio. At the age of 15, Danielle’s expertise and wisdom in natural horsemanship has been compared to some of the greatest leaders of all time in the equine industry including Pat Parelli and Monty Roberts.

“Danielle Herb is a dynamic and strong willed teenager who has overcome tremendous life challenges through her own self-exploration and determination. She embodies the spirit of the Renegade Teen, says Shonika Proctor, Pioneer of Teen Entrepreneur Coaching.’

On her Renegade Teens radio debut Danielle will talk about how she is fully playing with her power as a teenager and establishing a strong and respected brand in an industry often dominated by people that are at least four times her age. She will also speak on some of the personal hardships, self-limiting beliefs, labels and challenges that she has helped others to overcome through “Natural Horsemanship”, and how it eventually led her to entrepreneurship.

About Renegades Radio: Renegades Radio is a signature creation of the Renegade CEO’s teen coaching program. Host of Renegade Teens Radio, Patricio Quezada, 18, founder of Hispanics Learn, chats with teens who ‘Live It’ vs. ‘Learn It’.

Featured guests include teen entrepreneurs and visionaries and adults/community leaders who proudly support young people. On the third Thursday of the month the show features a Hispanic entrepreneur and the interview is conducted in Spanish. The show is naturally Rated R…for Renegade.

@DavidBeKing

Self-Proclaimed Internet Business King, 20 year old David King, @DavidBeKing on Twitter has announced a contest to promote the release of his new traffic building system,  Traffic on Demand, TOD. To promote his new product launch he is giving away 3 copies of the full version of his Traffic on Demand System. To enter the contest you need to answer 2 questions in the comments section of his blog (see the blog post for the questions) and share the contest on your blog, Twitter, Facebook and/or preferred social network. Hence why I am writing this blog post. If I didn’t love this kid and chat with him all the time on Twitter, I would not be going through all these changes ;-) Having worked with him in his teen years (he turned 20 this summer) and knowing all the support and advice he gives to many of the teens in the Renegades network I would certainly support him regardless of whether or not a contest was being offered.

He is looking for any type of promotional support for his program. Bonus points if you create a video in You Tube. I would definitely like to see one or more of my teen Renegade CEO’s win a copy of the Traffic On Demand System. For those interested in the contest you can check out the details on his blog (http://retwt.me/jvqu)

Regardless if you decide to enter the contest, you should definitely connect with him on Twitter @DavidBeKing

Good luck to everyone who participates in the contest. And be sure to let us know if you win so that we can feature you on the Renegades blog, which is now ranked in the Top 300k in the U.S. Whooop! As always, appreciate your continued support.

Guess who’s about to be famous?

YOU!

 

…because there’s no business like YO’ business! Sooo, in case you missed our casting call a few months ago, you’re in luck- we got another one! Whooop! Whooop! So get your requests in TODAY!!! No sending me requests all 1 month late this time :) Deadline for submissions is Wednesday, June 24th, 2009 at 5 pm (eastern time). Tweet it, Facebook it, MySpace it, Beatbox it, Blog it…Whateva! Let’s increase the chances of someone we know getting selected because it will evolve us all!

What’s All The Hype About?

If you are a teen entrepreneur 18 or younger with an operational business and got BIG DREAMS, BIG PERSONALITY, BIG NERVE and are BIG BALLIN’, HOLLA because you are the ultimate Renegade CEO and we are looking for you! A happenin’ producer for mainstream television shows like Supernanny and the Real Housewives of New York is in search of YOU….more specifically YOUTH!!! Peep the shout out in USA Today: http://bit.ly/cHF3J

They are looking here and there, high and low, near and far, over and under for a teen between the ages of 13-18 who has an existing business, got their legal money making groove on and have something that has the potential to grow worldwide. They will even consider teens who work in a family-owned business. (If you don’t fit this profile, please pass it forward. It will come back to you and in a much bigger way, I promise! And besides, I have more media related announcements coming up…so standby).

If You Got It, You Got It!

As teens from all over the U.S. are going to be competing for these coveted positions your charm, passion and business mindset is going to play a big role.  Remember, if you have to convince ’us’ that you have these traits, this is probably not a good thing (ya’ know what I’m sayin’?). So don’t set yourself up. Besides, if you’re perfect and your business is perfect, then you are probably really boring. Surprise us with your minor imperfections…do teens really have those??? :) 

Seriously- Just be confident and most importantly be YOU!

How to Enter:

The last time I took media requests I got slammed like an around the world dunk. So to simplify the process this time this is what I need you to do:

Send an email to media (at) renegadeceos (dot) com

An auto reply will be sent to you where you will need to fill out the required questions. If you meet the criteria - once the production staff is ready and needs additional information or wants to set up your pre-interview s/he will personally follow up with you.

Okie dokie my friends- Good fortune to you all and remember that you can’t be selected if you don’t enter. And if you get selected make sure you give a shout out to the Renegade CEO’s. Thanks, I am so grateful for you ;-)

Again, promptly send your email to media (at) renegadeceos (dot) com to get the process started.

XOXO
