Alexa is a Real KidPreneur! Here’s a bit about Alexa and her journey as a KidPreneur with Build a Biz Kids!
It Started at Summer Camp!
Alexa started with us at just 10 years old in our Lemonade Stand Challenge Summer Camp with her brother. Her camp worked hard and was divided girls against the boys. Together, both teams created their own business strategies and launch their businesses to raise funds for the great local Charity, Starfish Pack!
Altogether, these students raised a HUGE $490 in their 1 week camp!!! WOW!
Full KidPreneur Spring Program, Continuing Her Development!
Next, Alexa took on the challenge and enrolled in our 10 week KidPreneur Start Up Program where she was inspired by a family friend’s business. From that, Alexa’s Take-and-Bake was born! She sold mason jars filled with Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie ingredients that you can just Take-and-Bake! Her packaging was beautiful and her Pop Up Shop Launch was a Success! She says that she is excited to keep growing it with new recipes!
Alexa’s advice to other kids wanting to start their own business is twofold.
1. Focus on your packaging and display. Attractive packaging and a nice looking business will attract more customers to your business to buy from you.
2. Practice your elevator pitch. You will need to practice what you want to say to a customer because you only have a small amount of time to tell them what you have.
Continuing Her Practical Skills Development
Alexa, along with another BBK KidPreneur Ishani, did an Instagram Takeover for Ruben’s Shoes at their Annual Ruben’s Rukus event! Alexa and Ishani were able to go around interviewing kids about their experience and building their public speaking and confidence!
Where to Next?
The great thing about Alexa is she loves a new challenge. She takes over the mic at her brothers ball games to announce the players during the game and is in musical theatre as well. I’m sure we haven’t see the last of her!
Your child can start their entrepreneurial journey This Summer! The Lemonade Stand Challenge is BACK along with a brand new camp, Inventor’s Paradise!
