How to teach your kids about business by starting kid side hustle

Why wait for your kids to learn the basics of running a business?

Parents want the best for their kids.  That’s not even a real issue.  But, wanting the best and knowing what to do to give them those opportunities is very different.

The life we had, school, college, a job and a house then family is a rapidly changing model.

What is certain?

College, at least 4 years of it, is not the certain path it once was to success.

More jobs are available in the trades than ever before and vocational schools are sometimes better options.

But, that’s still waiting to learn.  Why should you or your kids wait to learn about how to be in business?

Good skills are always useful

With BossClub, kids can start a small business in their own neighborhood selling dog biscuits, gourmet cake pops, foaming bath balls or a popcorn business.

Each kit comes with instructions to create the product, market and package the product, thank you cards for that personal touch of a hand written message and coupons to incentivize repeat business.

Surely there are neighbors who have dogs or like to relax in a long bath.  Learning the communication skills of approaching strangers, making a pitch, speaking clearly and then fulfilling the order are skills no school teaches.  And, these are exactly the skills necessary for the next generation of adults to have to find success on their terms.

Give your kids the gift of a better future, self confidence and the skills to succeed.
