Default Ask Stupid Kid: Just because he's in a wheelchair people think he's stupid.

We have a warrior that has been capitalizing on his "stupidness" for over a year now.

He has been video marketing his own product called "How to get good grades with out effort" and has been doing pretty good with it.

Last time I spoke to him he told me he was learning how to walk and is currently learning how to cook as well as writing a children's book.

The reason I bring him up is inspiration & taking action.

I notice that a lot of people get stuck in information overload as well as not taking action. When you feel that way, go over to Dustin's youtube channel and see how he oparates. The simplicity itself is genius.

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

If a kid who has a "disability" can jump and take massive action, imagine what YOU can do with all your abilities intact.

My favorite show Notice the call to action

I have a number of friends in wheelchairs. Some of them are artists, musicians, scholars. Even so, people on the street treat them like they're mentally incapacitated just because they're in wheelchairs.

Great kid! On the 4th episode for his 1 month anniversary he bought a cake and some party hats. His sense of humor is awesome.

He answer's a Nigerian scammer's email and it's hilarious! Funny how "stupid kid" has more common sense than most regular people.

This one is when Dustin told me how to create my own product, sales and how to make my product popular.


Makes more sense than the gurus

I started into the care field when I was only 11 looking after a family member with Alzheimer's; later on in my life I worked for individuals with learning and physical disabilities. What I have learned is more of what books can teach you and often enough I questioned what normality really is.

Just because some of these people are not able to express themeselves the same way as others does not make them any less.

Thank you a bunch for introducing him to me, that is trully inspirational.

@Andrew Wilkes Wow, can't even dignify that with a response. He does not teach internet marketing to anyone. He wrote a book about getting better grades and makes videos where people ask him anything.

While Dusting uses the videos as a way to move traffic as well as ezine articles, associated content etc.

Since according to you Dustin is full of it, why don't you answer the following question so other newbie internet marketers can benefit.

Here's your question:

What makes you take action in creating your own product and is marketing your own product in youtube making any sales?

Hi Andrew,

Ay?

The title of the thread suggests he is in a wheelchair, and the OP says he is learning how to walk.

Of the two videos I watched, you could only see his upper half because he is sitting down.

Do you know something we don't? Or can you tell from a talking head video whether someone is impaired or not?

I'll continue to assume that Greenovni is being honest until someone proves different. Man, I thought I was cynical and jaded!

I don't understand why people should think he's "stupid" because he's in a wheelchair. Stephen Hawking is in a wheelchair.

Maybe someone would be offended if he's making "light" and capitalizing on a "fake" disability for profit.

I wouldn't even consider if someone was wheelchair bound if it was to hire for a job like web design or writing, they can still do the job just fine.

Hey greenovni,

I was snooping around and I found the earlier thread you made
about Dustin.
The Warrior Forum - UPDATE:Stupid Kid makes IM video

Pretty cool to bring this up again because he's a reminder to
people that anyone can succeed. It's also a reminder for me
that I should never judge a person based on words I see from
a screen... Words can be distorted by how we speak it in our
own heads.

Great stuff.

Asher

Hi Roger,
Hey don't worry.
I think maybe time has softened you up a little but other than that,
You are still cynical and jaded...lol

[back on topic]
I find videos of this type to be highly motivating.

No matter how bad things get. If you look at some one with a problem
larger than yours, then it really puts things into perspective knowing that
the person just didn't take no for an answer and succeeded despite their
limitations. It's all about Mind Set and Beliefs.

Actions speak louder than words.

Have a Great Day!
Michael

Dustin has cerebral palsy & is confined to a wheel chair for those that want to know. Pretty cool how he is writing and doing his thing.

Wonder if there is a market for it... guessing more and more kids go online so there might be a demand for such a product

Be kind, for you shall pass here but once

He seems to be doing pretty good with his writing. @ least that is the vibe I get whenever I talk to him.

Stephen Hawkings is in a wheelchair. Don't tell me he's stupid.

FDR was wheelchair bound too.

Have a great new year folks!

I know, but I was just using it as a quick example that any disability does not have to necessarily be a hindrance. It can, rather, be an inspiration, as the OP wanted to point out.

Have a great new year folks!

Excuses are freely available for anyone that wants them.

There is something inspiring about watching someone refuse to sit down and accept their fate. It's easy to bask in a pitying world, but it's a lot harder to show defiance in the face of that pity and use your own strength, skill, and talent to create something.

Yeah, he is really a very smart kid and quite inspirational too. They should have had him help with health care reform... He actually makes more sense than the talking heads on TV.

Dear Andrew,

I must have been in my early teenage years when I visited my spiritual father for help. I was in despair and felt totally disconnected, tired and exhausted since family circumstances grew me up to be really different than the rest of the kids in my school.

It was that day when my spiritual father said to me; I will take you to a place where our philosophers have written volumes about. This will be a lecture like no other and its teachings are very powerful.

I was all excited as my faith and trust to him were telling me that my worries are about to be soothed. Last time he took me to an ancient amphitheatre were we spent time referring back to historical teachings and naturally I was intrigued to see where my teaching would be placed at this time.

He took me to a cemetery; in all honesty this is where he took me out of all the places he could have chosen for me.

We sat on a stone and he said; the most powerful teachings my son are heard with your heart not your ears. I was confused and it took me some time to realise of what he was talking about. Yet every time I come to a situation as such his words come back to me as if I am back to that teaching ground, the cemetery in Pella.

Dear Andrew, you are facing a lecture like no other; are you still using your natural perceptions to learn from it?

Sincerely,
Kazooli

I think that's because the only
time most people think is while
they're standing in the shower.

Since people in wheel chairs
can't stand, they must not take
showers.

Awesome guy - thanks for posting.
