Caleb Maddix – A Young Man On A Mission
Caleb Maddix is a 14 year old entrepreneur. He wrote the book, “Keys to Success for Kids!” and he is the founder and CEO of the Kids 4 Success! organization.
This young man is on a mission to educate and motivate kids all around the globe and he’s off to a good head-start.
Not your average teenager
He resides in St. Petersburg, Florida with his dad, Matt Maddix, the man who he considers to be the greatest supportive influence on him.
He says that he decided at a very early age that he didn’t want to work for someone else and began to put his dreams of being his own boss into becoming a reality.
Instead of using the all to common word “gonna” Caleb decided that the time for action was now. Instead of waiting for things to happen for him, he took the bull by the horns and made things he wanted to do come to fruition.
He has traveled around the world delivering speeches and promoting his organization and he says that some of things he witnessed troubled him greatly, so he decided to do something about it.
In a recent interview with Forbes, Caleb said, ” I don’t want to be 20 years old and looking for a job, I want to be 20 years old and providing jobs! My goal is to be a billionaire by 30. I want to be able to pull out a $10,000 check and give it to a single mother without ever having to worry about myself.”
Pretty impressive goals for a kid who just turned 14 don’t you think?
As was previously mentioned, Caleb is the founder of the Kids 4 Success organization and he operates as a life coach. He does one-on-ones, and serves as a motivator to literally millions of people on a daily basis through YouTube and 2MM views.
He’s still just a kid
He enjoys doing things that most kids his age do like, roller blading, playing baseball and hanging out with his friends. However, he says that he very rarely plays video games.
He states that both his fans and his critics are what gives him his motivation. Regardless of the feedback, he stays positive and focused with what he sees his vision and purpose in life to be.
When members sign up with his Kids 4 Success program, he becomes their mentor for a whole year.
Through this mentoring program, Caleb is able to make a positive impact upon millions of young lives all over the world.
It’s very rare to find a young man that’s only 14 years old with such commitment and motivation to help others in this day and age, and Caleb Maddix is truly remarkable.
What does the future hold for young Mr.Maddix?
I think we all could stand to learn something from this “boy wonder” and he should serve as a role model and inspiration to both kids and adults alike.
If he continues to stay focused, as I’m sure he will, it’s obvious to me that he will reach his goal of becoming a billionaire by the time he is 30 years old.
Imagine what kind of a positive difference he will be able to make in young people and the world in general? I for one, am excited to see what the future holds for this extraordinary young man.
I have to admit, prior to writing this post, I had never heard of Caleb Maddix, but he has definitely piqued my interest and I am going to continue to follow his progress.
My son will be turning 11 this year and I intend to expose him to the Kids 4 Success program. Today’s youth is faced with a myriad of issues and problems that we didn’t have to deal with when we were kids.
I appreciate and applaud anyone who has the desire to help others and Caleb Maddix is truly one of these special individuals.
