Financial Security Plus a Real-World Education The 21st Century has already been pegged as the century of the Return to Entrepreneurship. You see, the United States began as a nation of entrepreneurs where everyone was a small-business person. It wasn't until the second half of the 20th century that conventional wisdom advised teens to go to college, graduate and go to work for a good company. Going into business became viewed as very risky if not downright foolhardy. But the tables have turned! Today it's far more reasonable to go into business for yourself. Now it's risky to work for a corporation! Your biggest risk, and your teens', is working for a large corporation, because your job may be permanently torn to pieces in the next few years. The old 20th century "norm" is rapidly slipping into the history books, to be replaced by a nation of entrepreneurs. So ... What if you could launch your teen in a business that could pay their college tuition, and give them a new purpose - and the means to financial freedom after fifteen years instead of a lifetime (or never)? Help prepare your teen for life as it will be in the 21st century, in a land of entrepreneurs. (Even if you do not own your own business.) Are Teens Too Young to Start A Business? Are they too young? Despite what you may have heard ... the answer is a resounding NO! In fact, it's the perfect time for them to start a business. Think about it this way. They're living at home with you (no rent) and they have no dependents. And they're running the business from home with no obligation to a landlord. What could be a better way to minimize their risk? Another benefit to you as their parent is that it helps them develop independence. In a day of "boomerang kids" - adult kids moving back in with mom and dad - you are giving them the tools to be able to take of themselves during their adult life. Plus, as I mentioned earlier, it's a perfect educational tool because its real-life applications and usefulness develop a sense of purpose. When it counts for something, you can bet your teen will rise to the challenge and develop the skills and abilities they need to make a go of the business. Their understanding of our free enterprise system will deepen, as will their understanding of economics, math, government, and the critical role of small business in society Help your child build his or her own business with Micro-Business for HighSchoolers, a nine month course that guides step-by-step in the creation of a real-world business, while learning a whole lot.
