Entrepreneurship Classes

Meet Your Teacher

I started my own business delivering newspapers and collecting subscriptions from my neighbors at age 12.

By 14 I had my first job at Mcdonald’s, ran a small lawn mowing business in my neighborhood, and at 16 had tried (& failed, kinda) to start ‘1001 Words Photography’ to sell my photos on mugs and greeting cards.

I have since started and ran a few businesses successfully, and some not-so-well. From non-profits teaching dance and art in schools, to selling wellness products, to designing websites for entrepreneurs.

I have a Private Teachers Certification from PA (taught 3 years) to teach high school science and was the Education Director at a Private High School for 3 years in Lancaster, PA.

I now own and run a company I began in 2016 called ‘Launch Kits’ that has helped over 1,850 entrepreneurs on 6 continents over 10 years to launch their business online with a website. I have learned from the ups and downs – so I am excited to help you bring your idea to life.

Want an early start?

Learn from those ahead of you

Look around at young people who started before you in the entrepreneur adventure - or learn from local, older, successful business owners around you!

Watch "The Profit" or 'Shark Tank'

There are some shows out there (parent permission suggested!) that may help you get ideas, learn how to pitch your ideas, and avoid common mistakes. Watch and learn!

Start with $100

Ask an adult you trust for $100 after you come up with a way to make double... or more! Request 60 days to pay it back based on your plan and see if you can double their money... and yours!

Don't worry about failure

The best entrepreneurs are those who dared to fail. In fact, it is literally impossible NOT to fail! It is how we learn (from loss, mistakes, wrong ingredients, missed deliveries etc) and become stronger.
