Learn While You're Young to Become an Entrepreneur!
In every group with teens, that I facilitate or teach, I ask the BIG question! Do you have a job? Inevitably, I get lots of blank stares and few raised hands. During the awkward silence, parents often chime in telling me that their teenager can’t work because they aren’t 16 or 18 yet. While it has gotten harder to find typical jobs for your teens and tweens with the age increasing on almost every job requirement, in other ways, helping your teenager find a job is easier than ever! Let’s think outside of the box today, as I share 12 smart small business ideas for teenagers and tweens!
Benefits of a Part-time Job for Teenagers
A part-time job for a teenager is more than “it’s time you got a job.” A part-time job teaches your teenager to work hard, to think on their feet, and to take instructions from others. Side jobs also give your teenager the opportunity to learn how to manage money, to acquire new skills, and to understand what they love to do (or hate to do). With all the amazing benefits to working, we definitely want to help our teenagers. But as parents we also have to consider how we are going to get them to work, conflicts with other activities and sports, and the age limitations. Ugh, now the teenage job doesn’t seem possible.
Why Your Teenager or Tween Should Start a Small Business
A small business has so many added benefits to the regular part-time job. When your tween or teenager starts a small business they can:
- Start working while they are still a tween.
- Create a flexible schedule that works with their other activities.
- Learn business practices like investing, capital gains and net worth.
- Focus on doing work they love.
- Make more income than the typical minimum wage job.
- Gain confidence as they make business decisions and work with customers.
- And develop a love for entrepreneurship!
A Micro Business is the Best Business for Teenagers
I first learned about something called a “micro business” at a homeschool convention I attended years ago. As I was eager to learn ways to encourage my teen to be more entrepreneurial, my interest was peaked! What was a micro business? A micro business is a small business for teenagers that they can start from home during their tween or teenager years. With a little investment to get started, teens have created some amazing businesses.
