Dear Future Millionaire:

Welcome to the eighth annual Auntie Karen’s Young Entrepreneurs Conference. The word for today is “Success”. How do you define success? Dr. Joyce Brothers said “Success is a state of mind, if you want success, start thinking of yourself as a success.” I define success as the opportunity to share these powerful people with you!

In 2001, we had a dream to showcase the best young minds in our region. Today you will have a chance to meet and talk to them. These amazing young entrepreneurs have had an impact on a national and global scale. Tiffanie, Twana and Victoria Williams, our 2009 Young Entrepreneurs of the Year, will be honored this afternoon by the State of SC for their hard work this year. These teenagers now own three successful companies.

I created the Auntie Karen F.A.I.T. H. principles as a guide to living my dreams. My hope is that you will read and adopt these concepts to your life. (Find a purpose or goal; Ask for help; Invest in your mind; Take time to plan; Help someone else). You will see examples of these principles in action throughout the day!

I would like to thank The Auntie Karen Board and the 2010 Conference Committee for making this day possible. They spent months organizing this day especially for you!!!

I hope you take away something from this conference that will encourage you to start your own business. Remember, all great things begin with an idea!

Enjoy the day!

Sincerely,

Karen Alexander, President and CEO

Chestina Perry, Tiff anie Williams, Twana Williams,Victoria WilliamsTriple Threat & Drive Safe

Sisters Tiff anie, Twana and Victoria Williams are the members of Triple Threat, a hip hop dance team. They along with Chestina Perry are the owners of Drive Safe. The company makes magnetic signs for cars with the message of urging drivers to be patient. The idea for the business came when Chestina was learning how to drive and encountered other drivers making angry comments and gestures. While using the product for her safety, it gained attention from many other motorists, parents and teenagers. There was such a demand from other parents and teenagers to obtain the product, she convinced her parents to open a business to allow other teenagers to experience the benefi ts of driving in a safer and more controlled environment. Her goal was to help eliminate the possibility of fatalities, stress, anxiety and road rage associated with learning how to drive.

They received the 2006 Black Enterprise Teenpreneur of the Year Award. In 2010, they formed the Smart Teen Drive Safe Foundation and signed an Artist Development Deal with UniversalCMG (CMG Records/Universal Record Distribution).
