Curriculum for Life Skills !
How many people do you know that look back and wish they had done things differently...that they had seized that opportunity, but didn’t have the knowledge that might’ve given them the confidence to try starting their own business?

"If you have a teenager who is interested in starting his or her own
business, then this course is a no-
would recommend sharing this with ALL teens! The material covered is very thorough
and full of hands-
definitely start turning while going through this course. I would venture to
guess most parents will even learn a thing or two while sharing this course
with their kids -
All of this is laid out in daily lessons to save you time and make it easy for anyone to teach. No business knowledge required!
It’s a curriculum that pays for itself!
And for a limited time, it’s available at half price!
You see, we’re building a business resource center that is like nothing else online. Video, audio tutorials, ebooks, online resources, an amazing resource library that any high school parent would want for their child’s education. It’s not finished yet, so if you buy the course now, you will have lifetime access for free. Similar centers like this go for $97 PER MONTH and more. Don’t miss out on this offer.
Laying a Firm Foundation
Why is it that as many as 90% of new businesses fail in the first year?
The #1 reason for failure over and over again cited by the Center For Entrepreneurial Education is the lack of a thorough business plan and poor management. So many businesses fail simply because they failed to plan.
So, if this is a well known fact, why don’t new business owners take this advice?
They don’t know how.
There is also a widespread unspoken belief that anyone can start a business as long
as they have some start up capital and a good idea. That’s partially true. . . and
10% of those will make it past the one year mark. What ISN”T taught is what it takes
the other 90% to succeed in their business -
Unfortunately, these business basics aren’t usually taught in schools, either, even home schools. Every day thousands of businesses start up and are doomed to failure because they were never taught some essential business principles. They bought into the fallacy that anyone can do this if they work hard enough.
If they had only known these critical principles before they started.
The Ability To See Opportunity Can Be Taught!
“We’re all just one idea away from untold wealth” -
....but what if you don’t know what to do with that million dollar idea?
Knowing the basics of how to start a business imparts confidence. Confidence to know exactly what to do when they see that “once in a lifetime” opportunity before it passes them by!
Developing that “entrepreneurial mind set” is an ability to see opportunities where others see problems! This ability is a tool that will serve them for a lifetime .
Learning how to start a home business is a perfect course for
the homeschool high school.

**Last, but not least ...you and your child will have an operating business of your choice in less than 9 weeks.... Potentially making money in just 4 weeks!
This is not just an E-
It’s an Entrepreneurial Resource Center.
With lifetime access.
Actually, it’s not just an E-
It’s also laid out in day by day lessons, complete with assignments and worksheets, to make it even easier! This is the first course of it’s kind! And we’re offering it for a limited time at our introductory price.
A Business Resource Center with lifetime access
We are also reinvesting much of the proceeds of this course into purchasing the licenses to many quality online resources, video and audio courses, and ebooks to add to our soon to be released Resource Center. Until our Resource Center is open, you can purchase this course at half price, with no monthly fees. Once you are in, you will have lifetime access to our Resource Center that will be offered at a MUCH higher price.
When you teach your teen how to start a home business, however, your real investment is the time and money you put towards your children’s lives. You have already made so many sacrifices for them, for their education, their health, their character.
Teaching them the basics of how to start a business costs very little and takes only 9 weeks (or less!) of approximately one hour per day....yet could reap them a lifetime of benefits, of living their dream.
How is this course any different from all the other
“How To Start a Home Business” Courses?
Completely different from all the “How To Start a Home Business” courses you will find online for as much as $600, this course does NOT have a get rich theme, but a standards based overview of the essential principles of small business ownership.
Providing a rich overview of business basics and the tools to get started, you will also have a educationally based Resource Center containing enough resources to develop a collegiate level business education if desired. You can access this for the life of your homeschool.
On the other side of the spectrum of the ‘online hype’ courses, conventional book-
Do you have a teen that has little
interest in schoolwork? I did!
This course can change that!
Applying learning to real life skills has transformed some of what might’ve been
considered ‘difficult’ kids into successful business owners-
If you have boys, you know it can be difficult to keep their attention on their
lessons . . That was an understatement with my 3 boys! At least it was that way until
they began to see a reason to learn! This course developed out of our experience
and the dramatic results we saw when we applied hands-
The proof is in the results!
The last few years we have written much of our own curriculum with amazing results. Our third child was a very slow starter (sorry, Josh) and exhibited many classic ADD symptoms. He was definitely not one that was interested in reading, writing, or arithmetic. We believed he had potential (like any parent) but just didn’t know how to motivate him.
Quite by accident we discovered when given an opportunity to earn some money at a book sale by having his own ‘table’, that he had an amazing math aptitude. Surprisingly, we found that he not only could do math calculations he’d never been taught (although we suspected he had been listening in on his older brother’s lessons....) he was doing them in his HEAD! This was a kid we had worried was a little ‘slow’...if you know what I mean.
Twenty years of trying every home school curriculum (it seemed) was about to pay
off. We began to glean the best of the best materials and started writing our own
curriculum to suit our sons’ ... Shall we say, ‘energetic’ -
We discovered that he just needed to connect what he was learning to real life situations
-
Needless to say, adapting his curriculum to something that worked for HIM, using
real life situations to learn, helped this “slow learner” to score a 28 on his ACT,
and enter college on a 100% paid scholarship majoring in....you guessed it -
My point is that when kids have a REASON to learn, they will learn things they might otherwise ignore or tune out.
Find the hidden gold in your child!
However, excelling in school and earning scholarships are only a few reasons to make starting a home business part of your child’s education:
Job Security. In our economy, it’s anyone’s guess what will happen next. Nobody is secure in a traditional job these days, and any wealthy person will tell you that you won’t get rich working for someone else. Rich Dad, Poor Dad’s author, Robert Kyosaki, recommends everyone should have a small business of some sort on the side to supplement their income, if not to eventually develop into a full time income.
Better Jobs. Understanding how a business works also makes better employees. Even if your child has no desire to have their own business, teaching them the basics of business will give them the experience to become better employees. Why? Because they now have a first hand understanding of how a company works from the bosses’ point of view. They will never be an ‘average’ employee after having their own business, which will always give them the upper edge in any company!
Leadership Skills. It’s been proven that teens that have started a business have more confidence and leadership skills than those who haven’t. NFTE is an organization that was started in New York over 20 years ago by a teacher that wanted help “endangered” inner city kids develop marketable skills. That’s enough time to measure some results, and see the difference it’s made in many lives.
Harvard Business School did a study on these kids and not only was there a significant increase in confidence and leadership skills, but over there was a 32% increase in interest in continuing on to college. These were kids that weren’t even interested in finishing high school! Many of these kids run very successful businesses today and/or have college degrees.
Better Money Management Skills. Obviously math becomes much more interesting when they are figuring how much profit they just made! In addition, having more money to manage will give them more opportunity to learn how to give, save and invest.
Most kids work a part time job at sometime in their life, why not teach them what they need to know to create their own part time job? Having a business will supply that extra money and looks very impressive on a resume or college application!
Entrepreneurial training is emerging as a critical element in the training of the next generation
Twenty four Fortune 500 companies have invested $1,000,000 or more EACH into the educational effort of entrepreneurial training programs. Microsoft, known to be at the forefront of new ideas, alone donated two million dollars to create a business simulator for entrepreneurship education.
You will be at the forefront of the
“teaching entrepreneurs” movement....
you will be able to help others
learn by your experience...
We believe entrepreneurship will soon be an integral part of every high school education! Unfortunately, there is very little available right now on this subject. Especially for those that home school.
This course is laid out to make it easy for you to teach, even if you’ve never had any business experience. It’s a great family project that a range of ages could participate in! You could use the extra money for that dream family vacation you’ve always wanted to take!
The Tragedy of the Home Business Trend
So many are putting their hard earned savings into businesses that have little hope of survival after one year. They haven’t prepared and thought through the essential details of a good business plan. Cash flow runs out quickly without proper budgeting and profit and loss figures. Advertising and customer service doesn’t take it’s rightful priority, at least not until it’s too late.
Why? They didn’t know. They were just like 90% of all other new business owners and thought all they needed was a good idea and some capital.
It doesn’t take long (9 weeks, actually) to learn/teach the basics that could save them thousands of dollars later, all while planting a seed that will grow at that perfect time.
John Taylor Gatto, elected ‘(Public)Teacher of the Year’, (then ironically quit and proceeded to support homeschooling), said;
"Whatever an education is, it should make you a unique individual, not a conformist; it should furnish you with an original spirit with which to tackle the big challenges; it should allow you to find values which will be your road map through life; it should make you spiritually rich, a person who loves whatever you are doing, wherever you are, whomever you are with; it should teach you what is important, how to live and how to die."
In summary,here is a listing of what we are offering:

82% of high school students surveyed said they would like start a home business someday....
but only 75% of those had any idea of how to do it.
You will be so glad you took the time to make this investment in your child!
You already know how fast they grow up, but the bond created will be there forever. . .
Raising children is more than getting them to do their school,
swimming lessons, baths and doctors appointments.....
it’s passing on your life views, your values, and giving them skills for life.
Helping them discover their life purpose is part of the journey.
Teaching them how to accomplish it makes it a reality!
You want to prepare your teen for more than just getting a job, but prepare them for LIFE!
