I started 2011 owning and operating the real estate company I started in 2006. I lived in Victoria BC. I had a random cool idea for raising some money for charity. The main things I was working on were company culture, systems for the business, and reintegrating back into daily life after traveling for almost all of 2010. It was time to settle back in and get down to work.
Now it’s 2012.
I don’t own the company anymore. I live in Central America. That idea to raise some money for charity has turned into an online fundraising platform that has funded 18 schools in 6 countries. A friend and I came up with the Early Entrepreneurs Experiment, which has launched in 3 countries, raised tens of thousands of dollars and taught hundreds kids to be social entrepreneurs. Now the main plans are to 1) finish the platform for individuals and non-profits to raise millions of dollars for legitimate and world enhancing projects, 2) to launch the Early Entrepreneurs Experiment world wide and be accepted into general curriculum – teaching kids to be entrepreneurs and how to change the world for the better through business, and 3) to film a ridiculously cool documentary made up of 12 separate YouTube size episodes highlighting amazing and world changing work being done by friends of mine in Kenya, India, and Cambodia – it will be a mix of adventure travel, extreme sport feel, and giving on a massive scale – Adventure Philanthropy.
What the F happened?
Happy New Year.
You happened Taylor. Here’s to an epic 2012. Much love.
Hi Taylor, we spoke earlier in the year (septemberish) when I first started teaching leadership. I wanted to start the Early Entrepreneurs Experiment with my kids- but the timing was off and I wasnt prepared to do it the way i wanted at the time. I saw that you wanted to infuse the experiement into the curriculum. I have been speaking with a few educators, that are developing a leadership program district wide. I will get them your contact information,and may something could come out of it? Happy Travels and Happy New Year!
Hey Jaclyn – ya I remember – good to hear from you. Would love the hook up. We are launching one in Toronto in a month and will use that as the case study as it will be in a leadership class – PERFECT
So yes, pls hook me up and we will get er goin!
Bro you amaze me every year. So proud of you for keeping clarity and following your heart. See you in January
It is just amazing bro!!!
Continue like that!
Congratulations and Happy New Year from Nigeria!!
big hug
Awesome.
Would totally love to help out in any way possible with filming/editing Adventure Philanthropy!!! HUGE interest in film-making and I live in Kenya. (Also, have a 5D Mark II to shoot with and Adobe CS5.5 to get into the fancy details).
Also, since most of my friends my age don’t have the income to donate to something like teninthree – I got in contact with my moms friends. Now I have the support of at least 8 lawyers and a lawfirm
all it took was an afternoon of calling around. I’m still pretty far from the end goal of 10k, but whatever. It’ll work out, it always does 
Abrazooos.
I can’t wait to see what 2012 brings!
Good Luck Taylor!! You Rock!!
