Business training for children

Aspiring entrepreneurs can learn by doing

Things are a lot easier in the abstract, and that’s especially true with running a business. Being an entrepreneur has never been a more popular idea amongst young children but the realities can be quite different to what’s expected. Business training for children is a great way to get kids to think practically about starting their own venture and to develop some key skills along the way.

Creative problem solving

Owning a business means daily problem solving, whether it’s with customers, employees, equipment…you name it. An entrepreneur needs to come up with solutions and then implement them – not an easy task for even the most seasoned business professional.

Business training from an early age gets children thinking creatively about difficulties, setbacks, hurdles, and the consequences of their choices. They’re encouraged to contribute with their thoughts and ideas to see first-hand the outcomes of their decisions.

Goal setting

We’re sure you’ve experienced that phenomenon where your child starts something and then doesn’t finishing it. Somewhere between a new experience and reaching an end goal related to the experience, children can easily fall away and get distracted.

However, the more they set goals and work towards achieving them, the better your children will get at sticking it out and seeing through the whole process. Putting your children in an entrepreneurial setting will help them set and achieve goals. This will also reaffirm the connection between goal setting, hard work, perseverance, and success.

Success and failure

One of the facts about running and/or owning a business is that failure is something to be expected. Whether it’s failing to land client or losing one, having to recall a product or not launching it at all, suspending a service, paying a fine, etc., it’s clear that entrepreneurship is filled with plenty of times where one needs to pick themselves up, dust themselves off and try again.

It’s very rare to manage success on the first go, and if this is the case, there’s usually a lot of hard work behind it. Tenacity and perseverance are key to an entrepreneur’s success and hands-on business training is a great way for kids to experience this for themselves.
