How would you like to ensure that your students remembered what you were teaching them? Thank you. And what if I could teach you an easy-to-use teaching technique to make that happen…would you want to learn it? Great. We're going to talk about that in just a bit. But let's talk about learning in general [...]
Here's a great video that is worth the couple of minutes it takes to watch. Many parents are still convinced that their kids have to get good grades in school in order to get good jobs as adults. But there is a better way. Teaching kids how to be business owners and entrepreneurs puts them [...]
That's a great question. The answer is..."Everything" but it's not quite as challenging as yo might think. Basically, there are the following pieces (refer to image at the right): 1) The Expense Bags (there are 8 of them) 2) The Asset Bags (there are 3 of them) 3) Instructional Manual (you'll print this) [...]
Many of you may have already noticed that when you offer to buy something for your child, he or she is usually eager to let you do it. Often this eagerness has little to do with how much the child actually wants the thing you’re offering to buy. He or she is just excited because [...]
We all accept the idea that an education is one of the most valuable things a human being can have. Yet, the truth is that a grade here and a grade there isn't what's going to make our kids happy, healthy, productive human beings and yet we push them to get the best grades they [...]

This is the exact reason why you must help children provide their own compelling reason for starting a business. Let's take, for example, two situations for have [...]
"But mommy...just go to the ATM and get some money." Sound familiar? We might laugh, but the truth is...kids really do think that's where money comes from because that's where they see us get it from. But what do you say when you're out of money temporarily and you CAN'T go get money from the [...]
Since 2002, kids ages 10-17 have been coming to my Camp Millionaire programs in the summer in Santa Barbara and other cities around the US and even internationally.

Are your kids asking lots of questions about what's happening in the world? Are they wondering why you are taking more care with the 'spending' part of your own financial equation. Here's a great short video that will explain visually, in very simple terms, what happened last year (or rather what culminated) to create the [...]
Someone forwarded a link to me today about Micropolix, a theme park in Spain I think, that, in their words, gives kids a taste of real life through 'kiddie capitalism'. Although I think they are on the right track, as are most of the ventures like this, I didn't see any aspect of this theme [...]
Allowances and Holiday Spending: Give the Gift of Financial Skills that Keep on Giving. It's that time of year again. Time to 'help' your kids buy gifts (if you do gifts) for others.
