Do you need to start thinking about putting money away for college or even more pressing, put gas in the car and pay for car insurance?

Are you a student, trying to find ways to earn money and still have time for your studies?

Do you love shopping and want some extra cash for the mall?

Perhaps you aren’t even old enough to get a real job, but see things that you’d like to buy, but know that you can’t ask Mom and Dad to foot the bill…

You need to find a source of income but are faced with the same stumbling blocks that thousands of other kids face every day.

If you’re like us, extra-curricular activities and sports are not only eating into your family schedule, but are also making a dent in your family budget!   Sure, you’re just a kid and don’t like to think about it too much, but you know it’s true.  Your friends are all in the same boat…they all run into the same thing.  Busy schedules lead to well-rounded, healthy active lives but they don’t bring in any money.

What an excellent resource for children and parents! After reading through this guide with my 16 year old daughter, we both had an incredible amount of ideas for ways that she can earn money during the summer and beyond.  She has already started working on a plan to
start a summer business after reading the guide.

I loved that this resource is written in a clear cut, easy to follow manner.  As a professional that has coached parents of teenagers, and as a mom that has raised 2 teens, I have to admit that I am really impressed with this guide and encourage people to pick it up.  It really does provide valuable entrepreneurial skills and ideas for our youth which will ultimately transform into life skills for them as well.

My son is 15 and and I were bowled over by the great ideas in this guide. In my large suburb kids like my son and their parents are currently in the process of preparing resumes for the very competitive positions at our community recreation centers, municipal offices and sports clubs. They start posting summer jobs now.

Everyone wants the lifeguard jobs (if they quality), the town gardening and kids' programs counseling jobs, because that's outdoor work, etc. Your guide provides some wonderful "independent/entrepreneurial" alternatives for doing the very same jobs that so many teens are vying for at clubs and recreation centers all over.

I've always tried to share my work at home dreams with my teenaged son because I want him to realize that he doesn't have to 'get a job' to make a living.  We read Kids' Business Ideas together and found many new ideas we'd never thought of before.  I think this resource is a 'must have' for young people and their parents who need a spark to light an entrepreneurial flame - or just a few great ideas to earn extra money.

Kids' Business Ideas is a great resource for those of us who have children anxious to make their own money and who want to show our children the freedom, flexibility and rewards of owning your own business. 

As a work at home mother of a 10 year old boy who is starting to inquire about having his own money, I find it refreshing to know there are so many possibilities of ways for him to do so without it having to all come from my pocket. This guide gives me many options to discuss with my son.  He can choose one or more of the many ideas listed or use them to come up with a money making idea of his own.  Either way, he has more control and therefore is more likely to pick something he enjoys than he would if I just gave him a job to do.
