Homeschool Businesses: Learn and Earn TogetherWant to develop an entrepreneurial spirit in your kids? Start a business together! Homeschool businesses provide a perfect opportunity for you and your kids to learn about business, and earn money at the same time. A great hands-on business education that benefits everyone, including your pocket-book!
As a homeschooling family, you have the unique opportunity to do what others only dream of doing. Imagine taking time out of your regular school day to spend some time together, learning about how to start and run a successful business AND actually doing it! You may be thinking... "I don't know anything about starting OR running a business."
How do I start?Starting a business really isn't that hard. You will want to do some research regarding setting up a business in your state or country, but you can easily find that through your state's government website. Potential Homeschool BusinessesNext, brainstorm together your interests, talents, hobbies gifts, and of course... your passion. Building a business based on your passion is your key to success. How do you know what you are passionate about? Ask yourself:
Use Your Passion to Build Your BusinessNo matter what topic you are passionate and knowledgeable about, you will find others who are too! For example... Maybe your family just loves dogs. Specifically big furry energetic dogs, like Siberian Huskies. Maybe you even own one and know exactly how care for, train and breed them. You can take your passion (about anything, really), coupled with your experience and make a business.
Finding Your Potential CustomersUsing the "Siberian Husky" example from above... There are thousands, actually hundreds of thousands of people interested in Siberian Huskies. Did you know that on average, over 400,000 (I lost track after 400,000) searches are done through Google for Siberian Huskies? Pretty cool, huh? Hundreds of thousands of potential customers just waiting for you! Don't worry about how, at this point, I just want you to know that all these people could be your potential customers. Okay, maybe your passion isn't Siberian Huskies, or homeschooling, or saving money (can you guess that's mine?). Homeschool businesses come in all shapes and sizes, depending on your family and your needs. Just because you homeschool, doesn't mean you have to have a business about homeschooling. Maybe you love photography, gardening, traveling, technology, scrapbooking, chocolate :), or cooking; you, your kids or your family can build a profitable business around your own unique passion. Meet the Need with Passion!I still don't get it, Heather... Okay, let's continue to use our Siberian Husky example from above. Thousands of people make over 400,000 Google searches about Siberian Huskies. What are they looking for? Information. Information on how to:
From your love and knowledge of these arctic beauties, and coupled with your experience of raising your own Siberian husky, you provide the answers these people are looking for, and voila... a homeschool business is born! It's really as easy as that.Thousands of people, from all walks of life, backgrounds and cultures successfully run their own business… and many out of the comforts of their own home. And... you can too! Imagine... your homeschooling teens can work for themselves, too, instead of flipping burgers for someone else. Cool way to earn money or help pay for college. While you build your family business, you can pave their way to become an entrepreneur too! Homeschool businesses develop an entrepreneurial spirit in your children. They will learn to dream and know they don't have to be enslaved to an employer for the rest of their life. Show them they can pursue their own passion and become anything they want. Not sure how to start? Don't worry, I can show you how.
