Khan Academy Paved the Way for Global Classrooms Like Thrive15.com for Entrepreneurs

Bestselling and Pulitzer-Nominated Author Teaches Entrepreneurs How to Overcome Adversity and Thrive

Glen Allan, MS – June 8, 2015 – With the success of Khan Academy, Lynda.com, and Digital Tutors, more and more global classrooms are launching to teach video training in specific niches. Thrive15.com offers business skills taught by world-class mentors for anyone wanting to start a business, grow their business, or advance in their career. Pulitzer-nominated author and world-renowned speaker Clifton Taulbert has teamed up with Thrive15.com to teach entrepreneurs how to overcome adversity. Thrive15.com provides engaging 15-minute online courses taught by millionaire mentors and everyday entrepreneurial success stories.

Taulbert was born on the Mississippi Delta during the era of legal segregation where he completed his secondary education. Though opportunities were few and barriers were plentiful, Taulbert managed to dream of being successful, not knowing the shape that success would take. Today, Taulbert is the President and CEO of the Freemount Corporation (a human capital development company) serving clients nationally and internationally ranging from Fortune 500 Companies, small businesses, federal agencies, professional organizations, community colleges and K-12 leadership. The story of Taulbert’s rise to success was turned into a major motion picture “Once Upon a Time When We Were Colored.”

“Nothing was required of us growing up except muscles and time – no thinking, no planning, no creativity, just the rhythms of tending to cotton that had been part of the Mississippi Delta for generations. Thank goodness my grandmother was an entrepreneurial thinker and instilled that in my mind growing up. My mission is to give back to those that did not grow up thinking they could be anything they wanted and give them a sense of hope, no matter where they came from,” says Thrive15.com Mentor Clifton Taulbert.

Taulbert is the speaker of choice for the United Nations, Harvard University, The Smithsonian Institute, NATO, and many more organizations.

Taulbert adds, “Entrepreneur thinking changes your perspective and can transform your life.”

Thrive15.com launched out of beta in February 2015, after nearly three years of development. The website provides engaging 15-minute online courses taught by millionaire mentors and everyday entrepreneurial success stories. The mentors include success stories such as NBA Hall of Famer turned successful entrepreneur, David Robinson, the former Executive Vice President of Operations for Walt Disney World Resort, Lee Cockerell, the funding expert and the co-founder of Guidant Financial, David Nilssen, the New York Times bestselling author and publicist of choice for Michael Jackson, Prince, P. Diddy, Charlton Heston and countless celebrities, Michael Levine and countless experts.

According to Bloomberg, 8 out 10 entrepreneurs who start businesses fail within the first 18 months of launching. Mentorship can help keep entrepreneurs on track to build a scalable business.

“Clifton was my first mentor who inspired me to overcome adversity and become a successful entrepreneur. I am deeply honored to have him mentor millions on Thrive15.com,” says Thrive15.com Founder, Clay Clark.
