My First Business - My First Nest Egg

Mockup-MyFirstBusinessChallenge

Welcome to the My First Business Challenge, an online business competition for kids! Here’s the short version of how it works.

Kids

Please fill out the “Business Plan Ad-Lib” below on this page! It will give you a way to tell us about your business by just filling in the blanks.

There are two prizes – one for most likes on Instagram and one awarded by judges. You can try to win one or both!

After you fill-in the Ad-Lib about your amazing business, we will send your parent or guardian a release so that you can enter the competition.

We will also send them a copy of your business Ad-Lib so that you’ll have an easy script you can use to record a little video to post on social media if your parents give you permission. Feel free to be creative – the ad-lib is there to help in whatever way you want.

Parents

You will need to sign the release forms we send your way after your child has completed and submitted the Ad-Lib below.

Business Plan Ad-Lib

A business plan is a great way to learn about money because it teaches you how to set financial goals, plan for expenses, forecast potential profits and develop a strategic vision. The process fosters financial education, critical-thinking and decision-making skills, all which are essential for managing money effectively.

Before you fill in your Ad-Lib watch this video on Profit, Revenue, and Cost.
