Hackschooling Makes Me Happy: Logan LaPlante at TEDxUniversityofNevada

Logan LaPlante has an advantage in his young life that most of us never had. 

It’s the opportunity to develop interests and skills he’s interested in with the focus on doing what makes you happy.

When you can do what makes you happy, the universe open up to possibililites.

At the age of 13, he’s discovering what he loves, what he’s good at and following doors of opportunity for entrepreneurship. 

Logan LaPlante:  Be Happy and Healthy

Logan LaPlante has a focus of being happy and healthy.  It’s a great plan.  His parents pulled him out of school to pursue his learning style using real life, real experiences and real opportunities in an environment and in a way that bring learning to life.  It’s the perfect model for school if you ask me.

Note:  I home schooled for a few years and it was great

Logan LaPlante:  What Can We Learn?

What can we as adults learn from Logan LaPlante? 

A couple things come to mind.

1)  Refuse the status quo, habits, behaviors and expecations for the NORM.  What has the norm gotten you? 

Grow up, go to college or trade school, get a job, get married, raise kids and retire on whatever you managed to save.  EEEK! 

2)  Take an inventory of what things make you happy and pursue those things in life.  For Logan LaPlante, it’s skiiing for one thing.  What is it for you?  Model after what he’s doing and follow your heart.

For me, it’s scrapbooking, traveling and personal development.  So I blog about these things, business growth through personal development is a big one for me because it’s this growth that allows me to do the other things so freely.

What is it for you?

Logan LaPlante:  It’s Not Too Late

My guess is if you asked Logan LaPlante whether or not it’s too late for you to pursue your dreams and goals of doing what makes you happy and healthy, he’d tell you ‘no way’.

Maybe you don’t have the energy to develop your own products, but you can use someone elses products to give you the income you want to pursue everything you love.

You just need a vehicle.  And your J.O.B. isn’t it. 

You have to be willing to step into entrepreneur shoes and think differently. 

You have to set goals and be willing to commit to them.

It’s about YOU making a decision to keep the status quo or push the life you want forward. 

ALIGN YOURSELF WITH SUCCESS

I have a couple of vehicles that I use to life the lifestyle I want and to pursue things that make me happy and healthy.  One of them is Empower Network, an internet marketing, leadership development company.  They offer “how to” entrepreneurship products and give you a community to thrive. 

Here’s to everything you want that makes you happy!
