What is entrepreneurship? – \u201cproblem solving\u201d says one young entrepreneur at this weekends tinypreneur event. The event was an inspiring market day for kidpreneurs to sell their wares and for most \u2013 raise funds for a good cause.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo it for a good cause and you\u2019ll stay motivated\u201d said Kim \u2013 an 11yr old entrepreneur.<\/p>\n

Raising money for a good cause was a theme at this years Tinypreneurs event. Children were selling products they created and designed with portions of proceeds going to various charities. When asked for more information on the charities the children lit up. Often, the response was about a family member who had an illness. Some were survivors but others were not. The kids spoke proudly about the reasons for donating the funds:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn honour of my cousin…\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we can end the problem with\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo that less people have to suffer from\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause this hospital helped my sister and I want to help them in return\u201d.<\/p>\n

These social entrepreneurs are an inspiration. When asked what advice they would give other kids who are thinking about being an entrepreneur \u2013 the girls at Wubble Slimes (Instagram:\u00a0@wubbleslimes<\/a>) said \u201cfind something you love and sell it because someone else probably will love it too.\u201d They also advised using social media such as Youtube for \u201chow to make your product\u201d and Instagram \u201cas a starting place for advertising\u201d and Etsy as a great online storefront.<\/p>\n

Belle\u2019s Beads said the key to being an entrepreneur is to \u201cHave no fear \u2013 be brave.\u201d Amazing and simple advice we should all follow.<\/p>\n

Alexa, from Alexa\u2019s Bracelets, had this gem of wisdom to share with future kidpreneurs. \u201cEven if you don\u2019t sell anything, be proud of yourself for showing up and trying.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s remarkable to hear the wisdom of these kids and highlights the benefits of the entrepreneurial mindset in youth. It begs the question, as adults, how much of this advice do we adhere to ourselves? Many “grown ups” can sometimes forget their “Why” for starting and growing their business and passion can quickly fade away. Once the passion is gone, pushing through hard times can be agony and often what stops our progress.<\/p>\n

These kids, while incredibly special as individuals, the skills they demonstrated are able to be taught and given support in. If you have a child who is passionate about a cause and wants to contribute, how can you help and guide them through? Using the key advice of our TinyPreneurs from this weekend, Youtube, Google and so much more can be used as a resource for parents.<\/p>\n

To take passion into action, you can checkout our Summer Camp programs at Build a Biz Kids and not only have your child learn these key skills, but also help them put it into immediate action. As a parent, your support is key so you will be kept int the loop daily about what they have learned and what is to come.<\/p>\n
