Everyone spends his or her young life being curious and begin learning. Unfortunately, teen issues such as playing games and watching TV, teen pregnancy, contracting a sexually transmitted disease, teen health and making money online top the list of their daily concerns.

Many of our teens are not fully aware of the consequences of their folly and indulgence with many of their daily activities; due to ignorance or misinformation they are destined to a life of misery.

Having a life of fun, good health and wealth starts with your choices. But, I know you are probably saying, "But I don't have a clue of the choices I need to be aware of and choose from."

This is the sole reason why I am writing this message to you today. I had teen issues when I was growing up just like you.

The difference being that your world is more complex due to the ever-growing body of knowledge to learn and apply. In just a moment you are going to see what your life can be with just a little bit of business education.

Let me start by saying there are two kinds of people in the world, 3% of them are leaders and 97% of them are followers. When making your life choices, consider weather your choice is consistent with the type of person you are; are you are a leader or follower?

Think of this way, when you were 3 years old you were commanded to do whatever you were told to do. As you became older and wiser you began questioning things that others were commanding you to do.

As you start questioning and learning from the leaders, you begin making your own choices and do not want to be commanded any more.

As you become a teen, teen issues become more pervasive because you are becoming an authority on many of those issues and seek more knowledge. This is a viscous cycle. The more you know and apply that knowledge makes you wise.

This is the secret to growth and as simple as this process is, many of us choose to let others rule our lives. Here is a good example.

The teen issues of getting your first job and making money online, this is what generally happens. Usually the first thing they think of is that they want to make their own money beyond getting an allowance from their parents.

They do not seriously consider the type of work or benefits before being hired; they are mostly interested in making the money. This is the first mistake.

As I alluded to earlier, it is about making educated choices. In making the right choice to have fun, work and make money, ask yourself if you are going to be a leader or are you going to be a follower? This choice is critical.

Leaders make more money and followers make less. If you become the leader it entails being more responsible. If you do not want the responsibility then by all means be the follower.

Not being the leader means that you will be paid hourly. Hourly employees are paid last and the leaders get paid first.

Working an affiliate program is a good example of making money online. You will be working as an affiliate or distributor. You will be paid a commission and get paid last.

In giving you this information should give you fair warning that making the wrong choices can put you of the path of misery.
