Entrepreneurship For Kids – Business Ideas, Skills, and Tips

If you take a look at the most famous people in the business world, you will notice that most of them have one thing in common: they started working on their ideas at a relatively young age. Tony Hsieh had a worm farm, sold greeting cards, newsletters, and customized buttons – all before high school. He later went on to found Zappos, which he later sold to Amazon for a whopping $1.2 billion. Jeff Bezos, the owner of Amazon itself, started an educational summer camp for ten-to-twelve-year-olds while still in high school.

Have you noticed your child has an entrepreneurial zeal, and their eyes sparkle when they hear someone talking about business already? If so, this course on entrepreneurship for kids might give you some good ideas on where to start!

Should your kid be an entrepreneur?

Starting their own little business is a great idea for active and curious kids. Not only earning their own money helps their self-esteem, but they can also improve their money management skills. In addition to that, it gives them the freedom to express themselves and feel way more independent. However, entrepreneurship for kids is not a topic most parents or guardians know well. A lot of them can only think of a lemonade stand on the front porch, which, let’s face it, is neither lucrative nor too challenging (especially for an older child).

In this course, I will offer you a bunch of good business ideas for kids of various ages. Some are simple enough for elementary grade students, and some are a bit more advanced, so they might suit teenagers better (or a younger child with some help from a parent, perhaps?). Whatever the age, entrepreneurship for kids can mean a little extra income, some fun time for the whole family, and maybe even the start of something big.

What will you find in the course

Not unlike in the adult world, starting a business for kids begins with an idea. Can’t think of anything unique just yet? No worries! In my short yet comprehensive course, I will present some good business ideas for kids and explain the primary skills required for taking up entrepreneurship for kids. We will discuss what synergy means for a business idea, as well as analyze the fundamentals of accounting and marketing.

In the second section of the course, I present nine ideas that are worth to think of when starting a business for kids. I have selected them so there’s something for everyone, no matter their skillset: there are physical tasks, as well as creative and zealous ones. None of them requires extensive knowledge or expensive specialized tools, so you can try a few ideas before choosing without experiencing significant losses.

While the course only takes one hour, it contains all the basic concepts you and your child might need to start thinking of their first steps to entrepreneurship for kids. Review the possibilities together, discuss all the pros and cons, and take action. Who knows, maybe your little one will grow up to be the next business icon?
