It is good to dream and we all should strive to dream big dreams. But without a plan, a desire to continue to learn, to strive for more, to build a healthy confidence in one's self - is what makes dreams into reality.

Successful children: Sean Belnick turn $500 into 24 Million

Sean Belnick

While hanging around his stepfather's office at a furniture manufacturer, Belnick noticed something interesting. Retail furniture stores would call Belnick's stepdad to place an order, which was then shipped directly to the customer. Why not save customers a trip to the store -- and the headache of dealing with high-pressure furniture salesmen -- by creating an online marketplace for office chairs?

And thus, BizChair.com was born. Belnick, who had already cut his entrepreneurial teeth building websites and selling Pokemon cards on eBay, started his direct-shipping company using a Yahoo store account to facilitate the transport of his stepdad's furniture orders to customers. The idea required virtually no start-up cash. "That's the beauty of the direct shipping thing -- there really was no funding needed," says Belnick, now 20. "I basically took $500 in advertising, and it snowballed from there."

Originally, Belnick launched the company from his bedroom with an inventory of 50 to 100 products. Six years later, BizChair.com has 75 employees and sells more than 25,000 products from some 200 manufacturers. That $500 investment turned into $24 million in revenue last year. The company has expanded beyond the direct-shipping model to stocking many of the products it sells in a newly opened 327,000-square-foot warehouse in Canton, Ga. In addition to office furniture, the site now offers home furniture, school furniture, and medical equipment. Most items sell below list and are shipped for free -- made possible, in part, because the company doesn't have to operate brick-and-mortar stores.

About the Book For Children 'How to Become' Rich, successful & do well in school was written with the title in mind. Children can be successful in life. Children can do so much more than what most people give them credit for. There was a young man who at the age of 12 years old, he made $50,000 dollars and at 15 he was the CEO of a company.

His story is one of many stories of children who have become successful at very young ages. This book was written to encourage young people to do more, to make big dreams and to make those dreams come true. Yes it is possible to be a millionaire at the age of 19 years old; It is also possible to make a million dollars out of a bunch of coat hangers and a simple idea.

This book starts with the idea that 'learning' is important, that it is the first step in becoming and being successful in life. As a parent the author brings to these pages the tools, the rules and the mindset that children need if they want to succeed; to achieve the dream they have. This book is not about only making money - it is about how to become successful. Success is not about money, about being 'Rich', but being successful does create opportunities for large sums of money.

Success is about dreaming big and reaching your goals. Like one young man who started working out of his parent's kitchen when he was only 15 years old. With his success he has invested in various charitable projects, of which one runs tea parties for lonely elderly people who live alone or in care homes. The company reports to have run over 120 such events between March 2008 and March 2009, with the largest events attracting over 600 guests. The company organizes various 'knitathons', encouraging the public to knit for good causes. In 2008, several thousand knitted squares were collected, sewn into blankets and sent to orphanages in India.

Children can be successful; all they need is the right mindset and the tools to achieve their dreams. This book helps them get started and it all starts with - seeking knowledge and doing well in school.
