Description

Mark Messick dropped out of school at age 11 and that's when his real education began.
It wasn't his choice. He was comfortable in his "normal" life but his family was about to make a few quick, short-term moves and it was easier for him to be home schooled.
The same school curriculum doesn't work for every child. Every one of them is different.
As soon as Mark dropped out he felt free. He didn't have to follow the crowd anymore. He could now follow his passion.
He discovered he loved to write.
When he was 13 years old he discovered Amazon would allow him to self publish his first book. He sold six copies and he knew five of the buyers.
Fast forward to today. He's had nine books available on Amazon, and the reviews are fantastic, but its time to test something new.
Mark's 16 years old now and an entrepreneur at heart. He just launched his brand new website Epicproductivity.com.
Learn how Mark made $4,000 last month from his self-published book sales.

Hi I'm James Altucher host of The James Altucher Show. I've been a successful entrepreneur, investor, board member, and the writer of 11 books including the recent WSJ Bestseller, "Choose Yourself!" (foreword by Dick Costolo, CEO of Twitter). I've started and sold several companies for eight figure exits, sit on the board of a billion revenue company, I've written for The Financial Times, The New York Observer, and over a dozen popular websites for the past 15 years. I've run several hedge funds, venture capital funds, and I'm a successful angel investor in technology, energy, and biotech. I've also lost all my money, made it back, lost it, made it back several times and openly discusses how I did it. That's why I've decided to do another podcast. AskAltucher is my brand new Daily Podcast. Ask me anything, business, investing, self-help, entrepreneurship, publishing, fitness, money, relationships, startups, breakups and so much more.
