Our core belief is that entrepreneurs change the world. And we’re not alone. We believe families today need to learn how to win in a world where uncertainty is not a flaw but a feature.
Every day, more focus is placed on on fame than influence, division instead of unity, and crisis instead of opportunity. We grateful to provide a place where families can build character, gain resilience, be innovative and show compassion together. |

WHY EARLY EXPOSURE TO ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Children as young as 4 will respond to ideas like delayed gratification, helping others, being rewarded and paying money for things. For those with teens, you’ll see the spark of creative ignite if you challenge them to earn money selling items online, offering a car-cleaning service in the neighborhood or helping a small business get set up with social media accounts.

I had all kinds of small businesses when I was growing up. When I was 6, I started my first business. I bought a six-pack of Coke for 25 cents and sold the cans for a nickel apiece. I also sold magazines and gum door to door. |

Ultimately the bigger picture of raising an entrepreneurial kid is not about pushing your child to be the next Steve Jobs or Oprah Winfrey — it doesn’t even matter if they never start a business at all in their life. What matters most is that your child feels a sense of control in this strange world at this strange time in human history. They feel they have the power to set good goals that are right for them, pursue those goals and pivot when they chose to. These ideas and skills will serve them no matter what they chose to do.
Entrepreneurship isn’t about balance sheets and profit targets, it’s about serving others in a scalable and sustainable way. It’s about finding solutions to complex problems and enrolling others into your vision. As humanity comes closer and closer to the edge of what’s possible and what’s wise, more than ever we will need people who are ready to lead in a world that has difficult decisions.
The entrepreneurial skills you develop in your child today might be the key to them having a great career, starting a game-changing business or solving a meaningful problem at scale.

DREAM COACHING
Entrepreneurs at any stage of business can benefit from the guidance of a coach or mentor. Coaching is based on the premise that the answer is there if you go looking and get resourceful. A coach or a mentor guides students towards more resourceful ideas and behaviors without necessarily telling them the answers. You may also encourage your children to meet and learn about entrepreneurs who create jobs rather than work in them, who have invented something, done deals or managed a successful business. Introducing children to entrepreneurial role-models in the real world can leave a lasting impression that “if it’s possible for them it’s possible for me”.

It may sound like a cliché but kids are our future, and if you’re an entrepreneur who either has children or influences someone else’s child, it’s important to think about how we can shape them into future leaders, job creators, and successful entrepreneurs.
It’s clear the world needs more innovation and more entrepreneurs. And the skills of entrepreneurship are also good life skills. So how can we teach kids business to nurture that next generation of doers and dreamers? |
