Business 101…Preparing the Heart and Mind of an Entrepreneur!

Whether a young person's potential business enterprise is a neighborhood lemonade stand or a pet-sitting service, this extremely practical video will help any self-motivated kid turn his or her ideas into an organized plan of action. Hosted by Julie Hunt—an entrepreneurial mom herself—Business 101 walks viewers through the various steps required to create a successful business. Hunt discusses relevant character traits, the pros and cons of running a business, cataloging one's skills and interests in order to find a viable business idea, and how to transform that idea into a workable business plan—from juggling finances to marketing. Interspersed throughout are interviews with young adults who talk about their own career paths and experiences. While the program is meant to be used in conjunction with a separately available workbook (priced at $5), the solid information in this affordable DVD makes it worthwhile even in its standalone form.
