Creating Entrepreneur's at a young age!!

Good morning my family Jobcasers!! I wanted to share an idea that I had for my daughters! Last school year my daughters sold candy at school. They made a decent amount to make an allowance each week. So last year was my oldest daughters first year in middle school and she made the cheer team! Over the summer she thought about what she could sell for this up and coming school year??? I was teaching her how to sew this summer so I told her what about I go and find you some fabric that represents your school (mascot, colors, etc.) and you can make little pillow key chains this time!! Girls love key chains!! Teachers love key chains! Boys even like key chains (to buy for the girls, lol )!! She thought it was a good idea! So for the remaining of the summer we will be making little pillow key chains at $2.00 a pillow!! She will make a set amount of key chains every weekend for the following week, she counts how much she should make and what's profit. This is a good way for her to learn all about making money, creating her own business with different ideas!! I love to show my children that you can't always wait and depend on looking for a job, that takes time and patients, so use your talents that you already have, be creative and start making money almost immediately! I just wanted to share some of the ideas I do with my children with you all! I hope that this inspired someone!!

You may be the best teacher of economics, I dreaded it, that they will ever have! They will be a step ahead of most, people can be foolish with their money{include me}, but your daughters are not among them. I respect what you're doing. Happy Mothers Day all year round!

Super!! I was smiling as I read this because my niece just left for camp loaded down with snacks that she sells way cheaper than whats in the camp store. I love to see kids who are willing to go out there and make their own way, earn their own money, we adults should take our cue from them.

This is a great idea. Teaching your children the value of money and how to use their gifts to save money and help others. Dave Ramsey programs for children are a great way to teach your children how to save and stay out of debt.
