Young Freeper Entrepreneur Needs your Vote for BusinessWeek Contest
BusinessWeek ^ | 9-15-2008 | BusinessWeek

Posted on 09/15/2008 12:39:35 PM PDT by StopDemocratsDotCom

I have been named by BusinessWeek Magazine as a finalist for one of "America's Best Young Entrepreneurs" in their 2008 edition. I need everyone to vote for me, Carlos Leon, by visiting which will directly connect you to the businessweek Section http://www.carlosleon.net
I am a Cuban immigrant, proud American and did this with no handouts or affirmitive action!. Voting ends this Friday! -Thanks for the support!.

CML Studios Carlos Leon, 25 www.cmlstudios.net North Hollywood, Calif.

Carlos Leon is a media mogul in the making. With $25,000 in savings, and no outside financing, he managed to expand the multimedia business he started in a room in his parent's mobile home into a full-service production company with such clients as Warner Bros., VH1, Sirius, and MTV3. Leon, who earned a bachelor's degree in film from Full Sail University in Winter Park, Fla., says the business—which includes a 1,500 square-foot production studio that he built from scratch with help from friends—had about $150,000 in revenue in 2007. He estimates it will bring in $200,000 in 2008. Up next: Leon is starting an online TV channel and a record label.

First I have to ask, is “Full Sail” a real university?

You have a great story mate,
I’m only a few years older than you, had myself a Full Sail scholarship and turned it down for a staid career with a finance degree.
You’re living the life.

Qam1, ping your gen-x list.
