Question:
Requested by a grade 4 and 5 teacher. Can my students present business proposals without actually having run that business? Can their plan be theoretical rather than real world? Or must students have actually established the business in real world practice?

At this stage in their business education, a dream will be a good basis for a proposal. It doesn’t matter how viable the business idea is but rather the enthusiasm and the thinking process. The process should encourage lots of idea generation. The students will be much more creative if they do not constraints such as real world experience or the concern of if it will work.

Your goal should be to have them understand entrepreneurship and learn to think and act like an entrepreneur
