Today Vincent Harty received his $200 Bond as a reward for winning the T.L.C.D. presidential election. In case you don't know, all of the TLCD members took on the lesson plan called "The Presidential Election." Most of them embraced it with open arms. For nearly 3 months, they experienced ever facet of what it takes to become president. From campaigning to advertising and marketing, debates and public speaking the lesson was exciting and hardwork. Vincent in the end was victorious but Vincent's job is just beginning.
Congratulations again!
Some may wonder, what is the T.L.C.D - really? The question is a good one. On the program option pages we describe it as a program like no other. Of course I feel that way because I developed it. Throughout my life I have spent tens of
thousands of dollars attending higher learning educational seminars. I have studied with some of the best in the world today, Donald Trump, Rob Kiosaki, Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy, Bob Alexander, Zig Ziglar, Depak Chopra to name a few. I have taken over 30 years of my life experiences in the martial arts, business and as a performing musician and combined it into a dynamic learning experience for young children from 8 years old up to 16. In my opinion there is no other program like this in the world. I am so confident about that, I can tell you that their are hundreds of schools around the world using our TLCD curriculum right now as you read this.
This page will act as a resource for you to follow out TLCD member in their lessons as well as the progresses that they experience. It is essential that their work be recognized and it is a vital part of their experience.

Lesson Plan of the Month
"The Entrepenuer"
"The Entrepenuer"
This month's topic is exceptionally personal to me. I have only worked two jobs in my entire life as an employee. One when I was 16 years old - working at a picture frame company called "Frame Buffs" the other as a clerk at a video store called "Video Connection." I worked so hard at the video store that at the age of 17, I was promoted to manager. Soon after I became partners with the owner and opened a landscape design business. I later on at the age of 17.5 opened my own business and have never worked for anyone again.
So I guess you can say I am spoiled. I have made my own hours, gone away on vacation whenever I wanted and did what I wanted my entire life. Now as a multiple business owner, a public speaker, consultant and author I am still proud to say I am paving my way. This is why I am so passionate about sharing this topic of the month with my TLCD class.
The lesson
So far we have discussed how to brain storm. We have spoken about turning your hobby or a thing you love into your livelihood. With that being said, some of the kids came up with a myriad of different career paths, Vincent - saxophone lessons and sales, Athena - Customizing Violins, Kiara (my daughter) Authoring a book and selling it as well as a clothes line, Nick - his own clothes line, Joe - a t-shirt line, Tristan - Clothes line, Wheew alot of clothes lines - haha. Erin - a horticulturist's, Samantha - Printing custom designed note pads and Olivia - is undetermined as of yet.
Throughout the next few weeks we will be developing an action plan, with the next steps.
Week one -
1) Come up with a Name for your Company
2) Develop a logo
3) Develop a slogan - Meme - this is your saying that is your tag line. For example: L.I. Ninjutsu Centers "its not just kicking and punching its martial arts and beyond - discover the Ninja in you!?
4) Pick two products that you will be selling.
Week Two -
1) Develop a business plan - for any start up business there are few things that are imperative to the success of the start up. First - knowing your company and the product clearly, Second - establishing how much it will cost to start this company - from product line to sales and distribution. Third - Knowing your Target market who will purchase it and and how you will sell your product (distribution).
Week Three -
1) We will decide as to whether they want to experience this for real or just build a virtual business. We will then take on the products and make them from conceptions to completion. We will be showing you this every step of the way, on this web page. Some of the students already intend on taking their ideas and making them reality by producing a half dozen or so and selling them to students, friends and family. At that point we will speak about profitability and the cost of doing business.
Week Four -
1) We will start marketing and selling our product. This will be a grueling lesson, because it will be riddled with rejection, as well as trials and tribulations that all business owners go through. We will see who has the stick to it attitude which I call sticktoitiveness.
Overall I look forward to the next few weeks.
