In six short years, Canadian entrepreneur Jay Kubassek went from working on a farm to selling mufflers at a Kansas City Midas shop to revolutionizing home-based entrepreneurialism with the 2004 launch of his Internet-based education company CarbonCopyPRO and the PRO family of companies.

But Jay has proven that business success and financial freedom can be achieved by virtually anyone who wants it badly enough, provided they are willing to earn it and the entrepreneurial spark is still there.

Michael Smyth (Legal Expert) - Click Here To Read Michael's Articles
Six years old sounds a peculiar time to start to legal career, but that's the first memory I have of going to my Dad's law firm located in the heart of legal London. So, with law running in the family, the natural choice at University was a law degree. I also had a keen interest in Sports Law and obtained a Post Graduate Certificate in the subject from Kings College London. I came to New Zealand for a year, but like a lot of people I quite liked the place, and I'm still here practising law as a self employed barrister and running three businesses: Approachable Lawyer, Sportscounsel and The Sports Risk Management Group (the last two even allow me to combine my passion for law with my passion for sport). So in my 11 or so years of practice I have read numerous cases, helped many clients out of the mire and set up a number of businesses. That means not only am I a lawyer with an expertise in employment and sport, but I am also a businessman. This gives me a good insight into a number of problems my clients face. I also like to pride myself on my approachability - But don't take my word for it, visit my website www.approachablelawyer.com/profile.htm
