New Online Resources for Teen Businesses
by Laura Fine, Assistant State Director

The SBA and Junior Achievement recently launched a new online resource for young entrepreneurs at the Mind Your Own Business teen website, www.mindyourownbiz.org, to support the growing interest in entrepreneurship among teens, and to serve as a small business portal for youth entrepreneurs.

Entitled Make It Your Business, the student activities guide includes an interest inventory and group activities designed to teach teens the fundamentals of business ownership. The Make It Your Business volunteer guide instructs group leaders through student business sessions that can be implemented in the classroom, in student clubs or in an after-school setting. The Start it, Grow it, Own it! assessment tool serves as a companion tool to the student activities and volunteer guides.

The Mind Your Own Business website introduces five easy-to-navigate steps on business ownership for the entrepreneurial-minded teen, each with helpful information for young entrepreneurs who want to start, run or grow their own businesses.
