We must be doing something right.

Right now, I have two writers, a small business owner, and a couple of artists looking to convert their work into sales:) I have business plans developing on the table after school. That’s the bottom line–fostering that vision. Whatever I teach out of “the book” is useless if it doesn’t connect to that vision.

I just got married less than a year ago. And one of the things which I constantly think about is how do I create a learning environment for my future kids. Here you give a great list to begin with. Thank you.

I have an 11-year-old who paints astonishlingly gorgeous room murals. I’m thinking college might be a waste for her…;)

I can share a couple ideas I’ve tried with my kids:

1) collect shells on the beach, paint pictures on them, make a cardboard sign saying whatever marketing idea for the name you can come up with, and sell the shells on the farmers market etc. They made a few hundred bucks over the summer.

2) let them play with stocks in a paper trading account at one of the brokerages that have one, where they can manage $10 million. I like the idea of getting kids used to large numbers.

I work with 12-18 year olds who are learning about business.
We created a page to help other teens learn about business.
Feel free to look at it if you get a chance: teenbusinesscentral.com

I wish there were more kids who saw the opportunities they have.
