Home Schooling Parents and Students of Financial Freedom

When I came across Educating for Success, on the recommendation from another homeschooling friend, I felt as if I had found a long lost sister. Rhea's message has really resonated within me because she has confirmed all that I believed about the current economic situation. It didn't have to happen.

As is pointed out in one of my favorite books The Puritan Gift, apprenticeship is a vital, yet horribly neglected component, to help our our children to gain skills to support themselves and their families as adults. Not only does it ensure their self-sufficiency, but from that ability to take care of themselves it frees up future generations to create new products, devise new ways of accomplishing tasks, as well as setting new standards of workmanship.

If any of this resonates with you, please take a look at an article that I scooped up about how homeschooling families can ensure their children's financial freedom in the future:

Dabbling with home businesses gives young people of all ages many wonderful opportunities to experience Entrepreneurial Education. Plus it gives them the experience they need in case they ever decide to work for someone else but need a work history to land a job.
Ever wonder how you're supposed to get a job if you're just out of school and the company requires "work experience"?
Not only does having your own small business incorporate reading, writing, spelling, practical math, and relevant skills into your day but it also helps you think creatively and independently while learning to follow the rules.
It seems that so many adults don't always make wise decisions because of their fear of failure. Our society is so perfectionist-oriented that making a mistake is considered by some as failure. That is not always true.
And anyone who is anybody has made more mistakes than their peers. They just learned from their mistakes and continued on when others let one mishap steal their success.
Robert Kiyosaki says, "The main cause of poverty or financial struggle is fear and ignorance, not the economy or the government or the rich. It's self-inflicted fear and ignorance that keeps people trapped."
"We all have tremendous potential, and we all are blessed with gifts. Yet, the one thing that holds all of us back is some degree of self-doubt... Often in the real world, it's not the smart that get ahead but the bold."
Incorporating home business into your daily school routine helps students learn skills that others never value. They won't believe how much they have learned while having fun AND while making money!
If you want to learn how to motivate your students to strive to develop their potential and learn concepts such as "Passive Income," find out more about the only live 3-day event of its kind designed to help families develop the mindset of success - Rhea's Beach Retreat.

I'm trying to make my way down there to learn more about how to ensure that my children don't start off their adult life with a the same faulty financial education that I did.

What are you doing to teach your children the financial realities of life? I'd really like to know.
