Young Entrepreneurs
The last five days has been one of the most eye-opening experiences of my life with some of the most ambitious young people I’ve ever met.
I’ve learned more about how to sell things (anything from ebooks to jigsaw puzzles) on the internet in the last five days than the rest of my life. There were tons of famous internet people and a few lucky young entrepreneurs won scholarships to this event (including yours truly).
It was a blast and you will see plenty of changes to my site over the coming months. Here are some of the pictures with people I met:
Andrew Fashion showing everyone his site on the first night.
Me and Jaime Jones, co-founder of BeModel.com
Young Entrepreneurs and Scholarship Winners
Taylor Allan sells a basketball training program for young people.
Syed Balkhi is the founder of WPBegginer.com and has one of the most brilliant, internet minds I've ever come across.
Michal Birecki is from Montreal and owns the world's largest gaming site at PS3Center.net.
Marshall Haas was one of the young entrepreneurs last year. He has an awesome contest running at BizBreakApp.com.
Luke Kimmel is one of those internet entrepreneurs/students who specializes in CPA.
Lindsay Manseau is a professional photographer and is creating an online platform to manage weddings at MyMarriageMarket.com.
David Orr was the youngest of the young entrepreneurs and sells 500,000 products at Fruper.com.
Adam Horwitz is 18 and making six-figures online. Check him out at AdamHorwitz.tv. You'll be seeing more of him soon 
.
Chase Brumfield has a dream to create a socially responsible network and he gave the best elevator pitch I've ever seen.
Michael is the only reason I was able to attend this event. If you want to learn how to make money online, give him your email at IncomeDiary.com

The Event, Speakers and Other Super Successful People
Most of the Speakers on the Underground Stage with Yanik Silver.
If you haven't heard of him yet, you will. Gary Vaynerchuk is taking over the internet and will be a household name in a few years.
Jessica Jackley is the founder of Kiva.org, a micro-loaning website for entrepreneurs in poverty-stricken situations. She also revealed that she's about to launch Profounder.com.
I didn't know who this guy was, but apparently he's one of the most successful young entrepreneurs on the planet. His name is Anik Singal and I'll never forget it.
Matt Mickiewicz has a hard name to type. And he's one of the first people to ever be successful on the internet. You'll probably use 99Designs.com or Flippa.com if you want to start a business.
Susan Hill is the founder of FitnessForGolf.com and has created an online empire in her micro-niche.
Vishen Lakhiani gave the greatest speech I've ever seen. It was incredible! This guy's mission is to compete with Google for the best company to work for at MindValley.com.
As part of the scholarship, we all got paired up with a mentor. Tim Houston is mine. He sells more things on the internet than anyone you know.
Yanik Silver is the whole reason any of these pictures exist. He's the founder of the event and I'm so thankful that he put this all together. It has changed my life.
Yanik Silver’s Underground Seminar has completely changed my outlook on how to run an internet business. I’ve never met so many interesting, successful people who were so willing to help. Thank you to everyone who I met and watch carefully as I start to implement the things I learned.

Well said Nick! A+
Thanks, Michal! I’m glad you like it and that has to be the fastest comment I’ve ever received! A+
Hey Tart — I wanted nightly updates on the event, but I guess I will settle for this wrap-up. The pictures were great and I look forward to you talking my ear off about everything in a few days.
Have a safe trip home.

I know. They had a lot more planned for us to do than I anticipated. The pictures are a pretty good synapse, minus all the stuff I couldn’t record because it was top secret. I’ll be coming home tomorrow!
That is an excellent write-up Nick — you are one very impressive Young Man. Keep up the good work
Barry
PS: I had not known about your sleeping arrangements
Hey Barry! Thanks for your comment! Haha, yeah a couple things didn’t go as planned and Andrew and Jaime were lifesavers.
Nick,
nice write up, I was there and I felt like I was there. I like the fact that you made it work, by sharing accommodations; that is the way to do it. Good on you.
I definitely think you got what it takes and this event changed my life as well, so that makes at least two of us.
Hey Jeff! That’s quite the compliment! Thank you. It’s amazing how much being around successful people can add clarity to your business strategy. I can’t wait to see the results of the changes I’m going to implement.
Good stuff Nick. It was really great meeting you. Will stay in touch for sure.

Thanks Syed! It was great meeting you and meeting all the people you were meeting
. Talk to you tomorrow.
Great work man! Its all about leveraging yourself and networking. Glad you learnt a lot from the event. Waiting for the awesome changes
.-= martin´s last blog ..Are you on these lists? Then quit now! =-.
Hey Martin! I would say networking is the #1 most important thing you can do as a young entrepreneur. I am thrilled that I had that opportunity! Do whatever you can to go to Yanik Silver’s Underground Seminar 7 next year. It’ll change your entire outlook on the internet.
Haha! Good! Some will be subtle some will big. Let me know if you can spot them over the next month or two.
Looks like a tonne of fun. Wish they had events like this in Asia…

It was a blast, Jason! You should definitely attend next year… Or you can start one in Asia
Yo Nick! I like this post man.

UG7 is gonna be so much better because I won’t be getting ID’d anymore lol
UG6 was such an awesome event and the people there were a really sharp bunch – including you Nick

Hey Aaron! Things are going pretty good! I have a lot of work ahead of me over the next three weeks. But it’s good for me
.
Yeah, I hope everyone there will be able to go to UG7. That would be pretty sweet to see the whole gang again. I can grab a picture with you then, as well…
