Frequently Asked Questions
  1. WHY SHOULD I JOIN AND BECOME A MEMBER OF TEC? TEC is a true business network for high school students and graduates. We are the only organization that will teach you how to think and act like a successful business person, give you the opportunity to learn a trade and start up a business, put up the up-front costs for the business, and partner with you to help insure success of the business. We also work with outside trade schools and offer a full support program. If this isn't reason enough to join – then nothing I can ever say will convince you.
  2. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO JOIN TEC? You will be asked to pay membership dues of only $10 a month. This is very small amount and insures that we only get serious minded individuals. We are a not-for-profit organization and the majority of training expenses will be covered by donations.
  3. WHY SHOULD I JOIN TODAY? At this point in time we are only accepting approximately 20,000 members. We will be looking to increase this number as soon as possible. The decision you make today will impact you for the rest of your life. In addition, the longer you are a member of TEC, the better entrepreneur you will become as some information on the web site is updated daily. Also, when you graduate high school or college and ready to start a business, we also prioritize by how long you have been a member of TEC. We also have several businesses that you can get involved in while still in school.
  4. I WON'T GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS (OR I AM IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL). SHOULD I JOIN NOW? If you want to learn how to be a successful business person, the longer you are a member of TEC – the better business person you will become. There are also entrepreneurial activities you can participate in and also earn money as a member.
  5. WHEN CAN I OFFICIALLY START A FULL TIME BUSINESS? It is our intent to allow members to start a full time business after they have graduated high school or received their GED or graduated college. Graduates of the TEC School Program will all be guaranteed a job. As I mentioned before, there are several businesses you can start to earn money while you are still going to school. Remember, part of our goal is to get you to stay in school and graduate. I will assume that you should be a member for at least 6 months before actually starting a business.
  6. I DROPPED OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL. CAN I STILL BECOME A MEMBER? If you are smart enough to become a member, then you are smart enough to go back to school. I believe that after you are a member for several months, you will decide to go back to school. We can't stop you from becoming a member and learning how to think and act like an entrepreneur. But if you want our financial support to partner with you – then you will have to go back to school and get a degree or your GED.
  7. AFTER I GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL I INTEND ON GOING TO COLLEGE (OR, I AM CURRENTLY ATTENDING COLLEGE). WHY SHOULD I JOIN TEC? No matter who you are, one day you will join the working world. Even if you get a job working for a major corporation, you still need to know how to think and act like an entrepreneur. All too often, those going to college don't think that they need to know how to be a business person. Just go to a good school and get a job working for someone else. There are millions of people unemployed today who wish they had these abilities. College students might have an advantage in starting a business while they are still in school .TEC will go nationwide and whichever path you choose to take for your future, we can make a difference.
  8. WHAT KIND OF TRADES OR BUSINESSES WILL I BE ABLE TO CHOOSE FROM? I have already described many of the different types of trades from home renovation to the entertainment world. In addition, TEC will open many of it's own businesses that will only be made available to members. We do not want to identify our marketing strategy here but there will be a tremendous choice for our members. TEC will also work closely with several outside educational vendors.
  9. IF I HAVE A BUSINESS IDEA FOR A CERTAIN PRODUCT OR SERVICE, WILL YOU ALSO SUPPORT THAT VENTURE? Yes. When you are ready to start a business we will definitely listen to what you have to say and see if we can also incorporate it into our program. Remember, we are all entrepreneurs and it would be foolish for us not to consider your proposal.
  10. DO YOU ALSO HAVE TRADES IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY? Yes. TEC will also be involved in producing movies, TV shows, and supporting rappers and other entertainers. We will promote good painters and other artists through our network. Part of our hands-on training program will include having a recording and film studio. There will be plenty of room for those who have a talent to at least promote that talent.
  11. HOW ELSE CAN I MAKE MONEY WITH TEC? TEC will give it's members an opportunity to get involved and even invest in many of our projects and franchises. Even if you get a job outside of our network, you will be able, as a member, to invest in these ventures. Some of these ventures can make more money for you than what you earn from working. Remember, we consider ourselves the best entrepreneurs around. Why not invest with us than some stock on the New York Stock Exchange. Members will receive updates on the various investments that will be made available to them. Including the opportunity to invest in our movies. Once you become a member, refer to the "THE BUSINESS NETWORK" for more information.
  12. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I HAVE READ ALL THE INFORMATION ON THE TEC WEB SITE AND I AM STILL ONE YEAR AWAY FROM GRADUATING? As I mentioned earlier, just about every day we will be adding information to our WHAT'S NEW (DAILY TALK) section. Learning how to think and act like an entrepreneur is an ongoing process. Look at what is happening to the business world today. We will be discussing these things and letting you know how it impacts you, and the trades and businesses you are thinking of getting into. Every week we will be updating information on our trades and businesses. Including adding new trades and businesses to our program. The business world has changed dramatically over the past year – that is why you need to be updated virtually every day, or at least several times a week – on the world of the entrepreneur.
  13. I HAVE SOME PAST INDISCRETIONS AND OTHER PERSONAL ISSUES THAT MIGHT IMPACT ME GETTING A JOB. IS TEC STILL FOR ME? Yes. We do not care about your past. We do care about your future. We can show you how to take your "street smarts" and turn that into a person who can become successful in the business world. When you own your own business – your past is your business. You might not be able to get certain permits or licenses – but most businesses will not require one. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. No more excuses about how unlucky you are. Good luck is finally in your hands.
