Rich Shefren Tries Teaching Kids About Business
Rich Schefren took a step into my world last week, when he went to talk to a group of five-year-olds about business - and according to Rich, he was “Shaking In My Boots”!
It can be daunting, trying to break down complicated business ideas into terms kids can understand. Especially if you have learned business through years of experience, or at university-level academic institutions, or both. The gap between your understanding and the world of a child seems almost infinite.
The truth of the matter is that it can be done. Parents are doing it every week, using the Cash-Smart Kids program.
I left a comment on Rich’s blog post, letting him know about the program - I wonder if he will come and check it out?
At his blog post, “Shaking In My Boots” you can download the gorgeous ads he had these 5-year-olds make to convince their parents to buy them things. Imagine how much more powerful it would be if they also included a business plan as to how they would earn the money to pay their parents back for the purchase?
