Public Outreach
Our mission is to give young people a modern framework for building themselves professionally, financially, and personally without waiting for institutions to validate their worth.
​
Through books, events, trade partnerships, financial programs, and personal development tools, Make Yourself Up equips young adults with the clarity, confidence, and real-world skills needed to create the life they want.








Real transformation begins from the inside out. This pillar teaches the mindset, discipline, and character-building habits that make you resilient, effective, and capable in any environment. You learn how to think clearly, act decisively, and build the version of yourself that your goals require—without waiting for permission from any institution.
College is no longer the default, and for many, it’s not the best path. This pillar introduces faster, more practical, and more affordable routes to a strong income and meaningful work. From skilled trades to technical training to modern alternative education models, you’ll discover options that put you into the workforce sooner, with real skills and zero debt.
Wealth isn’t about what you earn, it’s about what you keep. This pillar helps young adults establish strong financial foundations early, teaching simple systems for saving, investing, protecting their income, and avoiding the traps of “acting wealthy.” You learn how money actually works, so you can build stability and independence long before your peak earning years.
Growth accelerates when ideas meet action. Through speaking engagements, symposiums, workshops, and partnerships with schools and organizations, this pillar brings Make Yourself Up into the public square. It equips communities, campuses, and young professionals with the tools and inspiration to step off the conveyor belt and take ownership of their futures.
