About Us

About Enterprise for Kids

Enterprise for Kids is the story of our family’s journey raising entrepreneurial kids through teaching, adventure, enterprise, mindset, money lessons, and real-world experiences.

What began as a personal search for something more has grown into a place where we share practical ideas, family stories, and the lessons that helped shape our children into creative, capable, enterprising young adults.

Real stories. Practical ideas. Life lessons.

Our site shares the real-life projects, family conversations, money lessons, small business experiments, adventures, and learning experiences that shaped the way our children saw themselves, their future, and the opportunities around them.

Who We Are

Early family life in the Cocos Islands – where adventure, connection, and raising entrepreneurial kids began

We are a family who has always believed that children learn deeply through real experiences. Over the years, our family life has included teaching, farming, travel, market stalls, money conversations, creative projects, classroom enterprise, and everyday lessons that helped our children build confidence and initiative.

For many years, Cathy and I explored education, money, mindset, leadership, business, investing, and family life with one big question in mind: how can we help our children grow up with more freedom, possibility, confidence, and vision than we ourselves were taught to expect?

Why This Site Exists

Enterprise for Kids began as a place to record what we were learning as a family. Over time, it became a way to share practical ideas and stories with others who also want children to think differently about money, work, value, creativity, responsibility, and possibility.

We believe raising entrepreneurial kids is not about pushing children into business. It is about giving them opportunities to solve problems, ask better questions, take responsibility, create value, and believe they can shape their own path.
