By the end of the digital course, your young adult will have a business that will begin to earn an income. We will try to start our businesses for as close to $0 as possible, which means our businesses will be profitable almost immediately once sales start.

Learning to manage money is an essential skill for running a successful business. During this course your child will be equipped with financial lessons to manage and grow their income responsibly.

School can be a very time-consuming part of your child’s life and I wanted to create a digital course that could fit into everyone’s schedule. The lessons are in video format and broken down into bitesize pieces, which your child can tackle during free moments in their day.

The course should be able to fit into busy schedules as long as your child can find 20-30 minute spaces to watch lessons and put them into action. There is the flexibility to commit as much time as they would like to to their business. The business idea chosen will dictate the time needed to build a business. Your child will be encouraged to pick ideas that fit their desired commitment level.

Totally ok! The video lessons will be there, and can be completed at your child’s own pace, though the experience will be most effective if business owners are keeping up a consistent pace with the course. I recommend trying to complete 1 module per week over about 10 weeks. Lessons can be watched and then activities completed whenever there is space in your schedules.

If your child can devote small chunks of time to working on their business during vacation, great! If not, no big deal. Just make sure the business keeps moving forward when you get back!

There are 10 modules, which have been broken up into 3-6 lessons. Each lesson ranges from 5-15 minutes, and will have activities to go with them that will help businesses develop and grow.

After that, it comes down to personal motivation and drive. The more time you your child puts into a business, the more success they are likely to experience.

I will encourage them to pick a business idea that has a time commitment which they are comfortable putting in, so they don’t end up with a business that takes up too much of their time.

Online! There are 10 modules that are broken up into 3-6 video lessons. There is no formal pacing guide, but I recommend trying to complete one module per week.
