Home Business

Teaching kids About Business is Fun for the Whole Family!

homeschooling, home business, darren utke, work at home In this world good business skills is critical and in these modern times, Internet business skills is even more important.

The Internet has opened many doors for business Entrepreneurs and thousands are Making Thousands
Daily!

The young people today have so much going for them, they have the opportunity to literally Create Massive Wealth before they are even 30 years old!

As parents we have a responsibility to incorporate business skills in our children's life. We have a responsibility to teach our kids to think out side of the box and to be great Leaders not followers!
We have a responsibility to encourage Entrepreneurship in our homes and to our children!

Before the Internet owning and operating a business was expensive and there was so much that went into it. Now thanks to the Internet you can literally start a business for as little as 5 or 10 dollars!

Imagine owning your own business that the whole family will love and can work on together daily or even just a few days a week.

Get to gather as a family discus the family business, marketing, advertising and communication skills like when talking to prospects/customers.

What do you think that can do for the education of your kids?

Do you feel a background like that would give your kids a head start in life?

What do you think this can do for family bonding and communication?

I see so much potential in this world of Internet business and home schooling, that is what we do with our kids we own several online businesses which we run full time and when our kids are a little older we will get them started on businesses of there own, that the whole family can participate in!

For now we talk with our kids about money, business, marketing and advertising.

We talk with our kids about entrepreneurship and how to be a Leader!

We want to encourage you all especially home schooling families to get involved with online business and entrepreneurship, I really feel it is so important and can be a great addition to your home schooling curriculum.

Contact me anytime if you want to know more about what kinds of businesses would be best to get started with we have many to choose from and they all come with The best support and Training on the net!

Remember what you do not know will be used against you in this world and our children are no exception shouldn't we teach them the things they will need most in life?

And it wouldn't hurt to make some additional income either!

To your success!

My top 10 reasons to home school

cafe mom, homeschooling
Are you homeschooling or want to be maybe you are on the fence about it. 

My top 10 reasons to home school

1. I get to be with my kids all day and watch them grow!

2. I get to be the one who teaches my kids, I get to see there face light up first hand when they have accomplished some new skill!

3. We get to use the world around us as our classroom and my kids get a real life education.

4. My kids will have supervised socialization and we get to meet new people together.

5. My children and I get to choose what we learn and how we learn it!

6. On average by the 8Th grade home schooled kids are 4 years ahead academically then kids in public schools.

7. Homeschooling provides an environment that is focused family.

8. Education is a part of our life, instead of our life being a part of education.

9. We get to travel on days when other kids are in school that means shorter lines at the museums and amusement parks.

10. It just makes good sense!

What is the best advice you can give to someone who is starting out homeschooling or thinking about homeschooling?
