What is the ONE THING you wish you were taught in school?

Here are 6 different ways school is secretly trying to hold us back…😩

👉#1 School teaches us extremely little about life.

From 1–12th grade, we spend 12,960 hours in school without ever learning:

  • Financial literacy

  • Mental Health

  • Taxes

  • Time Management

  • Self-expression

👉#2 School wants us to be in debt.

A broke 18 year old can go $200,000 into debt for college, but can’t get a $10,000 loan to start a business.

Why do you think that is?

👉 #3 School punishes failure.

They put excessive amounts of pressure on memorizing things to pass a test.

Everyone is pushed into the same mold with no respect for the diversity among students.

👉 #4 School teaches us to save our money in banks ❌.

In 2020, USA printed $2 trillion, increasing the total number by 22%.

Banks pay you 2% interest, so when inflation catches up, your money will decrease by 20% in total buying power.

👉 #5 School teaches us to listen to our superiors 👀.

Just because they’ve aged a little, doesn’t mean they can’t be incompetent.

Be picky about who you listen to.

If they haven’t accomplished what you want for yourself, don’t take their advice.

👉 #6 School suppresses free thinking 🙉.

From day 1, we’re told how things are, who we are & what we should become.

Your passion is never mentioned.

Our creativity is killed.

We’re taught how to be an obedient citizen who fits inside their box.


What is the ONE THING 💥 that can change all that?

Becoming an Entrepreneur is an amazing way to acquire life important skills and develop a growth mindset in children.

And that making your own money is WAY MORE FUN than asking your parents for it.

Why we HAD to write this book!

“My Kid Entrepreneur”- Kid’s playbook for building their own business…today!

We all want the best for our kids.

That’s why we take them not only to school but after-school activities all the time, without ever thinking that it may end up hurting them.

But when the pandemic started schools got exposed. All schools, private and public.

Our son was going to one of the best schools in New York City, and when the lockdowns took place, we got to see first hand what and how he was being taught.

To say that we were “shocked” 😳 is an understatement.

Fixed mindset messages… fear of making mistakes… teaching them what to think, instead of how to think… promoting thinking inside the box, not out… crushing creativity and initiative… multiple choice questions…Really?

Kids today come out of schools totally unprepared for the real world 🙉.

That’s when we realized that our son was better off spending time with us, while we were working on new business ideas… making mistakes… having to pivot… failing all the time… until we got it right.

That’s what entrepreneurs do.

We kept telling Sky all the time, that Happiness is a Choice and You Can Either Win Or Learn, but You Can Not Lose By Taking Action.

You could see he was inspired by entrepreneurship.

Only 6 years of age, he came up with his first entrepreneurial idea.

He took action.

His mindset shifted.

He learned the value of money and the Freedom that comes with financial independence.

We wrote this book for him.

But Sky wanted every child to be able to have this book, so we decided to publish it.

We hope it will impact your child’s life as it has ours.
