We are currently involved in a Kids Biz Program. The program educates younger people (and their parents) the traits of being a successful entrepreneur. We are taught the physical methods and the ways in which to train the mindset to be more successful and open to new ideas.
Flynn and I kerb painting
A wise man once said…
“The most successful people in life are the ones who ask questions. They’re always learning. They are always growing. They are always pushing” (Robert Kiyosaki).
This quote best sums up what my family and I have been doing these past few months.
Kids Biz Monthly Challenges
Every month, the program sets a challenge, which encourages us to take the skills we’ve learnt and apply them to real life situations. In August, our challenge was to take $20, and create a business that will earn us profit. To win the challenge we were to make the most money from our $20.
Our Money Making Idea
Naturally, my family was slow to get started and we kept circulating ideas but never taking action! Finally we had an idea that stuck, and from there it really just exploded! Our idea was to paint house numbers on kerbs, which would help visitors, family members and even emergency services to be able to find where people live easily.
Kit putting the final touches onto the kerb number
We did our fair share of research and planning, and then we took action. In 5 days we presold over 60 kerb paintings, giving us a profit of about $1000.
Amazingly, we won the challenge for the month! We spent September painting kerbs.
It has been an awesome experience so far (and I swear my artistic ability has improved).
I’m really excited to share with you our Kids Biz Program September challenge!! That I’ll tell you all about in my next post.
We invite you to like our new Enterpriseforkids Facebook page.
