Entrepreneurs take risks and think creatively. Are you ready?
Each month we take one financial concept and offer our customers a deep dive. In recent months we’ve worked through needs versus wants, talked about investing, and explored budgeting. Now we’re taking a step back to include a concept that Young Americans is exploring and growing into. July’s Concept of the Month is Entrepreneurship!
Getting started
Each year Young Americans hosts a variety of opportunities for young entrepreneurs to promote their businesses, receive feedback, and possibly win money to support business growth. We also offer a curriculum supported by classes so anyone interested in starting a business can get going.
How do you know if you are an entrepreneur, however? With this Concept of the Month, you can explore the opportunities!
Start by taking this quiz – “Are You A Potential Entrepreneur?”
After that, you can explore options for creating a business. Here are some fun inventions by kids to help get your creative juices flowing. You can also check out this great blog post about the traits of being an entrepreneur.
