Teach Your Teen How To Start a Business!The Nine Week Home School Entrepreneur Course
The first course of it’s kind, we’ve made it easy to teach your teen not only how to start a business, but how to recognize opportunities in the marketplace AND develop an entrepreneurial mind.
You spend precious time on choosing the right curriculum for your teens, especially now that they’re in high school. Knowing the basics of starting their own business will give them a skill they will use for the rest of their life and change how they look at everything they are learning.
Even Math and English take on new meaning when they see first hand how it relates to real life!
82% of high school students surveyed said
they would like start a business someday....
but less than 50% of those had any idea of where to start.
Do you have a teen that has little interest in schoolwork? I did!
If you have boys, you know it can be difficult to keep their attention on their lessons
. . And that was an understatement with my boys! (girls have challenges, too, but
I had 3 uninterested boys, only one girl...) Sure, they did what I gave them to do,
but my heart longed to see them want to learn. I had chosen to homeschool to draw
out the God-
After 20 years of homeschooling, I had run out of ideas...
In the last twenty years we had tried almost every “method’ and curriculum in homeschooling our 4 children. 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 had run out of ideas on how to motivate him. I thought I had tried everything.
It started at a book sale...
It was quite by accident we discovered what would turn out to dramatically change
Josh’s outlook on education. One year we gave him an opportunity to earn some money
at a book sale by having his own ‘table’. When he needed to calculate the total
of an order, we discovered 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. He spent more time doing the math in this micro-
We discovered that he just needed to connect what he was learning to real life situations
-
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
‘entrepreneur’ curriculum to suit our sons’, ... shall we say, ‘energetic’ -
Needless to say, adapting his curriculum to something that worked for HIM, using
real life situations to learn, had results that shocked everyone that knew him. This
“slow learner” scored a 28 on his ACT, and entered a quality private Christian college
on a 100% 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!
Excited about the academic AND financial results we experienced by combining home business with homeschool, we began to share our vision. We decided to start a web site listing all the amazing free resources we had found along the way, but discovered we were making a false assumption. A good friend brought it to my attention that what came natural to me was foreign to most families.
The Advantage of Growing Up “Entrepreneurially”
Entrepreneurial thinking came natural for me because I grew up in an entrepreneurial family. My grandfather started a successful grocery store at the beginning of the Great Depression and my mother started a home business (at the kitchen table in her pajamas..really!) that later supported her when my father passed away unexpectedly at an early age. My husband and I had run our own business from the time we were married, over 30 years ago. I had made an underlying assumption that everyone knew how to start a small business and write their own curriculum.
False Assumption #2: Doing = Teaching
Initially, I assumed that given all the resources that homeschool families could take it from there. While many families have a wealth of business experience, it’s ‘a bird of a different color’ teaching entrepreneurial principles to their teen. Whether it was for simply starting their own business, or teaching their teen to do so from their own experience, I encountered a recurrent plea:
WHERE (in the world) Do I Start?
All the resources we listed still made it difficult for many to know where to begin
their journey. So, after spending over a year researching every available business
textbook, online resource, and buying more ebooks than anyone should, we put it into
a logical, step by step program that anyone could begin with. Using an established
standard for Entrepreneurial Education, our Nine Week Homeschool-
This course is not just a bunch of theory. It is step by step practical ways to get your business idea up and running. I thought my daughter had a great business idea and we have kept all of her work. You never know! Someday she might change her mind. I felt the cost of the course was very reasonable especially in light of the fact that this is information I can share with my other students. The course was also well laid out in that it was easy for me to plan into her school week. ~Lisa Lewis

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?
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 profits are eaten by poor record keeping. Advertising, research and customer service are poorly prioritized and inexpensive available resources are often overlooked.
Why 90% of New Businesses Fail:
The #1 reason cited by the Center For Entrepreneurial Education that 90% of new businesses fail in their first year is the lack of a thorough business plan and poor management.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.
Not just a pile of facts, but where to find what’s important . . .
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. Naturally, 9 weeks isn’t enough time to learn everything there is to know, but they will know where to start, what is important, and where to find it. Research skills are at the center of the “entrepreneurial mind”.
The “Anyone Can Start a Business” Myth
Every day thousands of businesses start up and are doomed to failure because they were never taught essential business principles. They bought into the fallacy that anyone can succeed if they work hard enough. Sure, anyone can start a business, it’s keeping it running and making a profit that is the tricky part!
If they had only known these critical principles before they started. Unfortunately, these business basics aren’t taught in schools, but that is changing. Some big pockets are noticing the research showing that education needs to see change to fit our rapidly changing world.
Entrepreneurial training is emerging as a critical element in the training of the next generation
Twenty four (24!) 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 state of the art 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-

Laying a Firm Foundation
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."
The Ability To See Opportunity Can Be Taught!
“We’re all just one idea away from untold wealth” -
....but what if you have no idea 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!

"I bought the course to help teach my children the potential of working for yourself rather than getting a traditional 'job'. My son, who was 9 at the time, decided he wanted to raise some chickens and sell eggs. Fortunately we live in the country so there was no concern about city ordinances. He borrowed $20 from me and bought 12 baby chicks. My wife and I helped him put chicken wire around the covered side of an old shed and his grandpa made some nest boxes. The 'girls' as he calls them started laying eggs after about 8 weeks. Soon they were laying an egg a day. My son sells the eggs for $3 a dozen to a few families who buy regularly. He takes $1 and sets that aside to pay for food. He paid back the original $20 and has earned over $400." ~ Ron D., homeschool dad
