The main purpose of a micro business is to learn while earning money. Micro owners are interested in learning everything they can about running a business. They intend to make money from their micro, but learning is paramount in their minds.

The goal is to learn and earn.

Running a micro business will teach you to:

  • manage your time
  • serve customers
  • overcome shyness
  • be unique
  • express yourself
  • gain confidence
  • balance commitments
  • overcome fear
  • multi task
  • and much more

It might be overwhelming to be stretched to learn by doing new things, but it can be exciting too as you grow in confidence and success. Here’s some encouraging advice from the Bible that the apostle Paul gave to his student, Timothy.

Don’t let anyone look down on you for being young. Instead, make your speech, behavior, love, faith, and purity an example for other believers. (I Timothy 4:12)

Do you want to learn more about whether a micro business is right for you? Watch this public television show “Starting a Micro Business.” You’ll be inspired by 6 teenagers and the micro business they started.

From a parent

Thank you for your e-book on teen micro businesses. Your valuable experience and wealth of knowledge is vast.

Your presentations at Cincinnati homeschool conferences and sharing with us over the years have benefited us well.
