Today I just stumbled across an interesting article about youth entrepreneur programs.
The article discusses how the school districts in Logan-Hocking County in Ohio are initiating a new entrepreneur programs for the youth in Logan High School starting this Fall.
The programs will be spearheaded by an organization called YEA (Young Entrepreneurs Academy).
They will provide the local high school students a structured program to learn entrepreneurial skills and help students create real businesses.
Youth Entrepreneur Programs
They also will include local entrepreneurs from the Logan-Hocking community that will volunteer their services in order to guide these future entrepreneurs as they take on projects that will actually allow them to create their own businesses.
As an entrepreneur myself, I personally think this is an amazing concept to give students the opportunity to understand business concepts, challenges, and rewards of real life entrepreneurial businesses.
I love these types of programs that teach youth real life lessons in business, finance, and general topics that young people need to know as they prepare themselves to exist into the real world independently.
Youth Learning Grown Up Concepts:
High school students that are focused on learning these adult concepts give themselves such an advantage for success in their near future.
Let your imagination run wild for a second and imagine if you were 16 or 17 years old again.
Knowing what you know now, would you like to have created a business then that could still be producing you several thousands of dollars of monthly income today?
I know I would have loved to have this kind of opportunity.
Who knows, maybe over time you could have developed your business to earn you $15,000 – 50,000 dollars a month.
Thus giving you the freedom to explore, learn, and live life as you please. You could avoid the daily grind and live a life few are privileged to have.
Don’t Forget to Dream:
Imagine being 22 years old with your own thriving business, providing you with the income to buy a car, a home, help out your family and life on your own terms.
The concept is incredible. And the possibility is real.
In today’s market, internet businesses are the wave of the future, the internet provides a market place with unfathomable potential when compared to a business in a local community.
You just can’t compare the internet market with anything else. Where else can you find such a vast market for your business in this day and age?
I’m referring to the 3 billion internet users and an additional 691,000 new internet users that are being added to this number daily.
Now imagine you have a product that 3% of that market needs and will buy. That’s 84 Million people. The online potential is endless.
So it’s great to see advancement in the local educational systems in the United States.
When I see innovative programs like the YEA program providing vital knowledge and entrepreneurial skills to today’s youth, it does my heart good.
