4 Years Till 30 :: Today I Turned 26

Today (July 17, 2008) marked a special day for me, as I crossed the threshold over 25 and into good ole 26!  Now that I am over the cool quarter century milestone of 25, the countdown begins as I march on down towards 30.  I have 4 years left to I hit that magic number, that has sent many into an early mid life crisis.  Right now however I am having one myself, and having a blast determining what to do next with my life.  It will be an interesting journey over the next few years.  Many have sent their well wishings, and happy birthdays which I hold dearly.  It is amazing how many people actually take the time to wish me happy birthday.  It is one of those things that touches deep down, and almost makes a man cry.

If you are wondering what I did for my B-Day, I actually spent time with my wife, kids, and family.  Some much needed downtime from the road and the day to day grind of being a jet setting entrepreneur.  Of course I bought myself a few items, but was more focused on how I could still be a bigger blessings to others.  This is one of my life missions of sowing seeds into others lives, so that they can reap a greater harvest.  It is one of the best gifts anyone can give themselves, and as we all continue down life's journey I pray we all learn that lesson.

For The Lord,

Ephren W. Taylor, II one year older and wiser (maybe just a little crazier).

Good Day Minister Taylor,

I saw you for the first time on Big Idea and I was extremely impress because we need more positive roll model like you. I would like for you to come to WPB Florida and talk to our youth and adults about becoming their own boss. God has set all the resource in place for us to access we just need to know how to access them. I usually do a seminar at our church call "Doing Business in the Kingdom Seminar" where I invite business man and woman to come out and talk to us about owning our own business. I have some teenagers who mind is always thinking of new innovated ideas and there are times when I can not sleep because my mind is racing with new ideas and businesses. I am soooooooo very proud of you and I know that God has anointed you for this purpose. God Bless you. P.S. My daughter birthday is July 17th and she always says mommy I am a genius and I see why because she shares a birthday with a real anointed genius.

Dear Ephren,

I am so glad that you and your lovely wife were able to do your wonderful presentation at our church this week. I learned alot from you that I otherwise would not have known. You are a truly anointed brother in Christ, that has come along way in life. I used to try and create my own games, but was unsuccessful, due to the fact that the internet was not on the scene yet and we only had a Commodore computer, imagine trying to create a game program on that, it was really rough especially when you can't type and you're only in high school. I commend you on your jobs well done.

Keep your head up and the dreams rolling,

Greetings & Blessings Ephren,

I first saw you on Montel's show and am elated for all young (and not so young) men who have big dreams and work toward manifesting them. That being said, I have a grand nephew who recently turned 18 yrs. old and we in the family are constantly attempting to instill in him the need to dream and be motivated about life. But he is very unmotivated about his life and about doing anything. I was wondering if you have any programs or suggestions to help get him motivated about something. I thought maybe if he was in an environment with positive males working toward positive goals, he might respond positively. He lives in Brooklyn, NY and I see you now are in Manhanttan. Thank you for your time!
Happy Belated Birthday & keep being a visionary!

Hello Ephren,

It was wonderful to receive your reminder newsletter message and find out it is your Birthday Week. We wish you a wonderful, blessed, prosperous BIRTHDAY and LIFE. Our youth group announced to parents and schools about your camp. It was very nice to receive a message from a parent that she watched you on Montel and will be purchasing your book - good news! We are very grateful to Raoul Davis, 4th Dimension Management, Hezekiah Griggs, and your staff for the wonderful examples you are to our students, community, and schools. You all are supper people and we appreciate your support!

God Bless.

Dear Ephren,

I am so very proud of you my brother. If only everyone could dream like you the world would be a much better place. It's so amazing how you turned something so simple like 3D animations into millions. God bless you my brother. A very happy birthday to you. I wish you much more success and happiness throughout your years. I will turn 42 August 18, if God says so. Take care and keep up the good work.
