A Virtual Library of Resources For Entrepreneurs
I just signed up for Mind Tools newsletter, which offered to send me “New Career Skills” twice a month along with a personal development planning workbook they say is worth $19.99. Their tagline is “Essential skills for an excellent career“, but it looks to me like so much more.
Leadership skills, problem solving, decision making, project management, practical creativity, time management, stress management, information skills, communication skills and career skills are their main categories with a hefty list of articles under each one. Each article is a concise, but thorough, overview of important skills that every entrepreneur can use in their development of necessary business skills.
Using This Site To Teach Your Homeschool Entrepreneur
Providing an overview of skills that are needed in the workplace is a valuable part of any education. Taking this website as a base of operation, it looks like it could be a convenient way to methodically cover a multitude of subjects. Covering one article each day and discussing how that skill might be used will insure that your homeschool entrepreneur has a well rounded overview of essential business skills. If (when) a weakness in a particular area is revealed, you’ll know to pursue 
that area more thoroughly. I’m sure you’ll come away with several ideas to further explore essential skills your teen needs for the career(s) they are considering.
Naturally, you will see many products* offered for sale that relate to each category, but I did not see anywhere a requirement to make a purchase to view any of the materials. I’ve yet to completely go through all they have to offer, but I was so excited to share this potential resource with you I couldn’t wait! Isn’t the internet marvelous for homeschooling?
Anyone else have a favorite resource for homeschooling their teen entrepreneurs? Surely your mother taught you to share…:-)
Thanks!
