WENDY PERKINS “HIGH SCHOOL RICH” MEDIA KIT REV 9/2012
Author Wendy Brown Perkins
As a native Floridian, I have enjoyed working in the field of mortgage lending, real state, investments, and land ownership. With the ability to maintain a flexible schedule I was able to devote many hours of my time to young adults; which was a prequel to becoming the author of High School Rich: 101 Hot Tips to success. I have gathered much insight from my many years of mentoring, counseling and encouraging young adults. Realizing that all kids would benefit from my knowledge, I decided to put into book form information to assist youth, from adolescent to adulthood, in pursuing financial and entrepreneurial independence. I was fortunate to develop an entrepreneurial mind at an early age. I realized that owning your own business gives you a lot of freedom with your time and money. I wanted to experience life without the hassle of corporate constraints. Sharing this information is a way of giving back to society, and a vehicle to providing youth with a positive medium to becoming productive members of society, along with the fulfillment that can be achieved from being financially independent.” Knowledge is power and time brings on wisdom. I hope you get as much knowledge from this book and gain as much wisdom as I did in creating my individual empire. 1

5.0 out of 5 stars Mandatory Reading for Parents & Children ! July 30, 2012 By DJ Gatsby Book Club
So many of us were not taught how to manage our finances when we were young. Many of us grew up very poor and our parents only made enough to pay the bills and sometimes not enough to do that. Today we have to teach our young people how to manage their finances so that when they are our age they will be able too. I once heard a speaker say instead of teaching your children how to go out and buy expensive sneakers teach them how to invest in the companies that make them. "High School Rich" Will Make A Great Gift For The High School & College Kids In Your Family.
