Homeschooling and Self Employment
Last Winter I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of Teen Entrepreneur Success Secrets The stories of these teenage business owners was inspiring and exciting. I ended up researching adn writing about the benefits of being a homeschooled High School Entrepreneur. Several homeschooling families use the togetherness of the lifestyle, along with the obvious educational benefits of living and working together to create their own homeschool family businesses. Finally, many homeschooling moms decide to follow their entreprenurial dreams and start their own business, or get a job working from home. Working from home and homeschooling are a dream come true for many families. Complete independence and self-sufficiency are values that run counter to society's message that seems to say "go to school and get a job." Instead, these un-jobbing families are teaching kids that they're capable of taking care of themselves and that anything worth having is worth going out there to get, instead of sitting around waiting for a raise, improve your business. Instead of looking for a job, look for an opportunity. In my mind, it's a very American thing to do, and a lifestyle that speaks to the highest values of personal responsibility. I hope you enjoy the resources and ideas I've found while working on this series of articles. Homeschooled teen entreprenuers and their parents are some of my favorite people.
