Dear all,

Emily’s father wrote in a business Facebook group I am in about her mission for a number of children. Your child can be one of them.
I’m posting here because among you can be parents who might see it as an opportunity fit for your child(ren).
This is the first time I hear her dad is a bestselling author and she is really famous too! WOW. What a small world…

Please see her message and info on how to reach her below.

Here’s to yours and your children’s success in life!

Why Every Kid Can Do “The Impossible” Now

Hi my name is Emily. I’m 12 years old and I wrote a book called the five steps to a perfect sleepover. I have made over $20,000 selling my book door-to-door. I’m excited to be sharing the stage this February with Tony Robbins and other business leaders at an event called Funnel Hacking Live with Russell Brunson.

Today I’m here to tell you 3 reasons why every kid can do “the impossible” now.

The first reason that every kid can do the impossible is because technology is changing. Yes, technology has made things that seemed impossible 100 years ago possible now. 100 years ago or even 17 years ago, it wasn’t possible to get in front of over 1,000,000 people just by pushing a couple buttons on your PHONE! 100 years ago there were no footprints on the moon, there was no American flag. There is now! In fact we may even have an American flag on Mars soon. As you can tell, the impossible is now possible.

The cool thing is that there will always be new ideas, new possibilities, new inventions, and more things that will continue to WOW the human race. Technology also changes FAST like really fast. You could be the one to invent the new invention of the century, you could be the first person on Mars, you could come up with the new coolest ideas of the year, and you can do whatever you want to do.

The second reason that every kid can do the impossible is because access to knowledge has changed. If you want to know something, pretty much anything, you can look it up on google or find information on Wikipedia. 😉 You can find out almost anything on the internet. Even if the information is not available there, with the rise of social
media it is easier than ever to reach people in the top of their field to learn from them. Are you stuck? You can take an online course from them or pay to be coached. You have access to more information than you realize and you don’t need to attend a specific prestigious school to access it.

Here is the third reason why the “impossible” is now possible for kids: Now is as good a time as any. Here is my question to you. Why wait for when you are older? Why wait to do something great for the world? Why wait to make some money? Why wait to make a difference? Why wait? You have what you need to start something amazing. Age is just a number. It doesn’t matter if you are 6 or if you are 56, you can live your dream life now! Why wait? Do what you love now!

In conclusion, you can do the impossible because the impossible is now possible. There are no limits, live YOUR dream life NOW!

POSTSCRIPT: I currently have a mission of helping 2,000 kids write a book and launch their first 5-figure business in 2017. You can find me on Facebook and my public profile is Emily Shai. https://www.facebook.com/TheRealEmilyShai/

I received private questions about Emily saying that selling these books is impossible because there are blogs that teach about this subject. So, I thought I’d respond to help the kids whose parents my accidentioy think this way and thereby block some possibilities with false thinking about kids and business…

The idea that something cannot be sold because it’s cheaper or even free elsewhere is proven daily as absolutely false. I mean … people buy water they can get for free out of bottles and jugs, and they don’t just buy the lowest priced bottles. People buy haircuts for $100 when there’s a $9 solution closer to their house. Something Emily understood when she was selling was she was selling the book … she was selling herself and the whole experience of buying from her. They were paying for training and paying for joy and yes paying for a gift for a daughter or niece.

Emily sold books to people who had no children or girls to give it to though as well. She learned a target market (car dealerships) that would admire her hustle and stand in awe of her ability to overcome objections and close the sale, all traits they needed to do their job. She demonstrated to them what was possible and inspired them to take their Sales game to the next level. Because if a 11 year old girl can do it …

Of course, the next question is, well … my kid doesn’t know how to do that. But, for kids it’s natural and for the kids who don’t know how, Emily wants to teach them. This is the whole premise of Girl Scouts … they wanted to teach girls to independently learn how to sell with cookies. Emily saw their approach and didn’t feel she was getting a big enough share of the profits so she started her own company! 😂😂😂😂

I hope that helps. The overall answer to the question though is that people often aren’t buying information in a book. They’re buying a unique perspective. Kids provide that perspective in an astonishingly simple and creative and thoughtful way. THATS what the world needs more of and I think the kids are right!!

PS - Emily’s perspective and training on sleepovers is 1,000 times better than that blog and oriented towards helping a kid get it done, not the parent. That’s not why the book sold, but let’s remember this: some good things are cheap, but not all cheap things are good. Price is soon forgotten but quality is long remembered.

PS - You can also let them know that some of her customers paid as much as $200 for a signed copy. These were not people she knew - they were people she just met but fell
In love with the experience. Excellence in all
It’s categories is remembered and celebrated.

I agree. There is a case in Brazil. A woman published a free PDF ebook that became a huge success. Than publishers convinced her to publish and sell a printed version and again, a huge success due to its popularity. It became a best seller even with the free version still available for download.
