$100.00 for Rachel

The children wanted me to bring a souvenir home for them from TX.

Amanya will get an Emily doll.

Hannah will get TX Bluebonnet seeds.

Christian will get a mouse pad, jelly and chocolates, to share with his dad.

Rachel will get 100 bucks!

Not from me, but from the Entrepreneurship Education Forum's Import-Export Challenge.

Service Opportunities

Parents, 

It is important our children learn to serve others without expecting something in return. 

Yesterday four families helped at the Chamber office stuffing 6,000 goodie bags for a big trade show next week.  

All they received was a free lunch...of pizza!  and the adults received free electricity at our Big O! booth next week. 

We worked from 9:00 to 2:00 with a 30 minute lunch break.  

The children were hard workers and diligent with their tasks. 

The hands of the diligent will rule and all work is profit. 

It is good for them to serve others. 

Plus, it gave them a great view of office work and working downtown Omaha. 

Interesting... 

Candy Store of an 8 year old

If a child can add and subtract and talk to people, they are old enough for  a business. 

Our 8 year old daughter set up a candy store this week in my piano studio. 

She has sold $8.00 worth of product. 

She is organized, responsible, tracks her inventory, dresses well, and treats customers well. 

What a great learning experience. 

They could never get this experience playing  a entrepreneurship computer game or watching a tv show on how to start your own business. 

Let them go for it parents,  and take the time to help them get started.  

Once they have a taste of it, you'll be amazed at how motivated they are! 

And watch their business ideas grow! 

He who is faithful in little, is faithful in much! 

My daughter's persistence

We have four children who have multiple businesses.  

Our oldest daughter is relentless in her ideas and pursuit of her business goals. 

She follows me around the house telling me all her ideas. 

Some days (most?) I can't keep up with her ideas and implementation. 

You know what we heard over and over this past weekend at Ryan Lee's Boot Camp? 

Be a person of action. 

Just do it. 

Don't  wait for perfection. 

Even as a toddler she was one step ahead of me.

Her middle name is "Ask first" 

But, that quality will serve her well as an adult. 

She will outperform her contemporaries. 

Just like Ryan Lee said this weekend, " Go ahead and try to out produce me."  

Action is good! 

Just do it.
