I would like to meet Michael Dunlop. At only 20 years old, Michael is the founder and owner of about three very successful blogs. Despite the fact that he suffers from Dyslexia, a medical condition that makes reading very difficult or next to impossible, he inspires thousands of users who own or wish to start an internet business, everyday.
