Dear HS Families, ESI Class
Are your children looking for business ideas? Clamoring
to make some moolah? Need to be productively engaged this
summer?
There are six skills our children learn from having their
own businesses and cannot learn from academics:
1) Core Skill #1: Self-understanding.
2) Core Skill # 2: Understanding human nature.
3) Core Skill #3: The art of rapport.
4) Core Skill #4: The ability to "network."
5) Core Skill #5: Understanding the principles of living
a successful life.
6) Core Skill #6: Obtaining the specific skills needed
for the area in which they want to succeed.
Students from the last Entrepreneurship Class at the Learning
Center had four Entrepreneurship Expos, sold products, earned
free prizes at Metro College, one earned a scholarship to
Metro for a free class, had their businesses featured in
the Bellevue Leader, earned a free lunch at UNO, HyVee is
now carrying one student’s products full-time, will
feature them at their Farmer’s Market this summer
