This shows that it doesn’t require any School or college education to get rich and financially free in your life. Your Financial success is not in anyway related with your school or college education.
While he may have waited until the age of nine to start his first computer business, his career really began even sooner than that. It's said that even as a toddler, Cameron had been interested in becoming a businessman and he was always able to sell any product put in front of him. At the age of 7, he would sell vegetables from his red wagon door-to-door to neighbors. When he was nine years old and in the fourth grade, he was the top-seller for raffle ticket in his K-12 school, selling several hundred in only a matter of weeks. When he was in the fifth grade, it was wrapping paper the students were selling and yet again, Cameron was the top-seller and he sold more than twice as much as the runner-up.
He received his first computer as a Christmas present from his parents at the age of nine. Only a few months later, he started his first business printing greeting cards, stationery, and invitations for family and friends using his computer and printer. Just before he turned ten, his parents allowed him to open his own checking account. This allowed Cameron to be in complete control of all of his finances and to learn to manage his money. From depositing his weekly allowance to writing checks for office supplies, he learned how to manage his money and how to keep track of his expenses. Cameron was raised on the principles of giving back to his community and at the same age (just 10 years old), he began giving an annual gift to his local church.
For Christmas, when he was eleven years old, he received several shares of stock in various companies including Disney and CSX Railroad. After receiving this gift, he became very interested in the stock market and learned all he could about how it worked. He soon sold the few shares his parents had given him and also invested several thousand dollars of his own money into companies of his choice. In just a few years time, he had multiplied his investment seven times.
At the age of fifteen and as a freshman in high school, his internet company had grown to sales in excess of $15,000 per day. It was also while he was a freshman when he was asked to become an Advisory Board Member to FutureKids, a Tokyo-based company and Sega of America who at the time, built the Sega Dreamcast Console. He consulted both companies for a number of years. In August, 2000, he was approached by a best-selling Japanese author who asked if he could "ghostwrite" Cameron's autobiography. He agreed and the book was published several months later, and was an instant bestseller in Japan.
