Resources for Entrepreneurial Teens
May 12th, 2007 by William Jones
I just came across a couple of great resources for teens looking to explore business opportunities. The U.S. Small Business Administration has a section on their website devoted to just that subject. It’s called the Teen Business Link and it covers how to generate ideas, create a business plan, money matters, legal issues, support resources, and profiles of young entrepreneurs for inspiration. You can also try out your skills in an online business simulation at the JA Titan website. Disney also has a business simulation for kids called Hot Shot Business which allows you to operate a comic book store, pet spa, or skateboard factory. The game teaches how to find money, buy inventory, and monitor trends that ultimately affect the bottom line of the company. I have played it and it is quite entertaining.
