Charly's daughter, Rhiannon receives award!

Congratulations Rhiannon! Rhi's mom, Charly, is my very dear Australian friend and we are all so proud of Rhi's recent award! Read this directly quoted from Charly's blog
Charly Leetham
I am very big on encouraging my children to have online businesses. Today, I received the best news ever!

My 12 year old Daughter, Rhiannon, has been selected as one of two Under 16 year old entrepreneurs to be featured in a book written by Business Writer Peter Economy.

Rhiannon receives this honour through a competition run by Jenny Ford from Cash Smart Kids and will be featured in Peter’s 2008 Charity Book Project. The Charity Book Project was developed by Peter Economy as a way to use his passion - writing - to give something back, and hopefully to make the world a better place.

His plan? To write a book each year, with a co-author, and donate the proceeds to charity. In the first year, 2008, he has chosen to work with Jenny Ford and write a book to empower parents to teach their kids the money and business skills they need to be self-sufficient in the modern economy.

Jenny devised a competition where the kids had to develop a 2 minute YouTube Video or write a Hubpage about their business. Two winners would be chosen.

Rhiannon will be profiled alongside big names like Ben Casnocha, who started a software business at 13, and was CEO of a Silicon Valley start-up by seventeen.

Jenny’s announcement was made on her blog today - Raising Entrepreneurs.

Rhiannons website helps people Learn To Be Psychic and the blog helps her share experiences and lessons she is learning.
