Unlock Your Teen’s Entrepreneurial Potential

As a parent of a homeschool teen, you want them to grow into confident, capable adults prepared for the real world. But let’s face it—traditional education doesn’t always teach the practical, hands-on skills needed to succeed in today’s economy. Too many teens graduate with knowledge but lack the confidence or experience to take initiative and build something meaningful.

The Solution:
The Teen Business Academy empowers your teen to think like an entrepreneur by guiding them step-by-step through the process of starting and running their own business. Whether they dream of launching the next big thing or simply want to test their skills with a small side hustle, this program gives them the tools, confidence, and real-world experience to succeed.

Why It Matters:
Many successful entrepreneurs began their journeys as teens, learning through trial and error with “starter businesses.” These experiences didn’t just teach them how to make money—they helped them build critical life skills like problem-solving, resilience, and leadership.

Some of these teen businesses can become large lifetime businesses. Take Mano Watsa, who started a backyard basketball camp as a teen and now trains over 15,000 players annually worldwide. Or my nephew, who started doing odd jobs as a teen and has turned that into a profitable landscaping and snow plowing company with full-time employees, all while getting a mechanical engineering degree. He now has options that most don’t.

Why Homeschool Families Love the Teen Business Academy
Teen Business Academy is designed with homeschoolers in mind, offering:

• Flexibility: Both in-person or digital or combination options will fit the program into your teen’s unique schedule without disrupting your homeschool routine.
• Real-World Skills: Encourage independence, creativity, and critical thinking combined with integrity and hard work- key traits homeschooling parents value.
• Practical Application: Watch your teen apply lessons immediately, creating something tangible they can be proud of.
• No cost for most families: Through the Colorado Homeschool Enrichment program, and similar programs in Arizona and Florida, most homeschool students in these states can take this course for free.

“Finally, a curriculum that blends seamlessly with homeschooling schedules and values while equipping teens for success in the real world!” Homeschool Parent

Here’s What Your Teen Will Gain:

• Hands-On Experience: Practical exercises to start and run a business, ensuring they learn by doing.
• Expert Guidance: Advice from seasoned entrepreneurs who’ve been there, done that, and are excited to share their stories and lessons.
• A Clear Path Forward: By the end of the course, your teen will either have a business up and running or know exactly how to launch one confidently when the time is right.

Inspiring Examples:. How about John Crist, a homeschooler  who used his unique sense of humor to become a renowned comedian. Or  our founder Chris Coughlin who turned a love of sports into a business that now trains over 50,000 football coaches per year.

These  stories and dozens more will inspire your teen to use their passion combined with entrepreneurial skills to  open doors to limitless opportunities.

What Happens If They Don’t Start?
Without opportunities to practice entrepreneurship, your teen could miss out on developing the confidence and skills they’ll need to thrive in a competitive world.

Imagine Their Future:
Picture your teen taking bold steps, solving problems, and confidently turning their ideas into reality. Whether they pursue business ownership or simply apply these skills to other areas of life, they’ll be prepared to excel.
