Remember when I wrote about one of my students, Angie, who made flyers for her pet-sitting business?  She’s been working her tail off!   And her sister, Naomi, who was also in the class…well, I’ll just let you read the email I received from their mom:

Angie finished her weekend of dog sitting  this past weekend. 2 labs for 2 days.  On Saturday Naomi passed out fliers on her bathroom cleaning business. Half an hour before she came back she received her first call.  Monday was Day 1 for her business, 4 full baths that took 2 1/2 hrs.  Now she is scheduled to clean this house every other week.  as of today she has received 2 more calls and hopefully those will bring additional business.  Angie also has future dog sitting already on the calendar.

How cool is that?!

And to top it off, I received another email from a mom who’s kids were also in one of my classes.  Here’s what she had to say:

Josiah keeps getting jobs and that makes his brothers very jealous!  He just got a tutoring job for a boy down the street at $10.00/hour.  Can you believe that?!!  He’s not willing to follow a budget yet but he’s not spending it yet, either. 🙂

I love it when kids take the initiative and parents support their entreprenurial desires.  There’s money to be made.  It takes a little time and some hard work, but it’s there.  Go for it!
