Internet Firm Launches Kids Into Business - November 22, 2000

Markham, CANADA and Seattle Washington, USA, November 22, 2000 -- TeachingKidsBusiness.com today announced a new approach to teaching young people business skills at an early age.  Through it's website www.teachingkidsbusiness.com, the Company is the first to develop a concept that not only teaches kids business skills but also prepares them to launch their own businesses in their own online marketplace.

Company founder and chief executive officer Jeff M. Brown says TeachingKidsBusiness.com is developing "tools" and "experiences" to engage and inspire kids to develop business skills and explore career opportunities at an early age.  The site provides a safe, fun and educational experience.  "Some households will start to take a business-like approach and parents may be asked to now play the role of e-Mentor, angel investor and advisor in their child's business venture," says Brown.

"The benefits will be tremendous as kids learn fundamental business skills, gain business experience, boost their confidence and self-esteem.  TeachingKidsBusiness.com also plans to instill lasting characteristics like work ethic, values, community involvement and charity giving.  The introduction of business to kids at an early age isn't about money and it's not about putting kids into high pressure or stressful business situations.  The focus should be on engaging and inspiring kids to discover, providing career preparation, nurturing interests and the understanding of business in a positive way."

TeachingKidsBusiness.com is offering their services for free and with no advertising.  The kids can use the tools, gain experience and develop their business with the help of "business tips" for free.  When kids graduate to the final stage of setting up their business, they will be presented with a business proposal, a fee to launch their business in KidsE-Marketplace.com.

Jeff M. Brown is a professional accountant, with diverse experience in the automotive, package goods, entertainment, consumer electronics and the building industries.  He has worked in very entrepreneurial environments.  As a creative person, he has drawn from his breadth of experience, research and passion for enhancing kid's education in order to develop this initiative.   "It is a natural fit for me to draw on a good base of business experience, entrepreneurship, a passion for my kids and an interest in community enhancement to do something as original and impactful as TeachingKidsBusiness.com".

As an entrepreneur and passionate "parent as educator" Mr. Brown evolved the website while pioneering with parent involvement and business partnerships involvement in education.  "The more I got involved in the education of my kids, the more I realized that  as a parent and businessmen, I could do so much more to support their education then traditional fund-raising.  Having worked to develop business partnerships for schools, I realized that there was a huge opportunity to create educational enhancement tools and a program for businesses to impact education (in or out of the school system)."

As a keen sports enthusiast, Brown also recognized the opportunity to take a "sports approach" to teaching kids business.  Like sport , we can expose kids to business at an early age, allow them to try different businesses or explore different career paths until they find one they like, we can teach the fundamentals or basic skills first  (creating and presenting ideas) and then work up to competitive games (participating in business).  "I have listened to a number of parents talk about their strategies, the time, effort and money they apply to teaching their kids various sports.  It became apparent to me that if we created a place (website), instructors (business tools) and a business game,  then we would have a very interesting offering for kids and parents."

There is a role for everyone to participate in this program.  Through the "Community Involvement" section the Company invites business people. charities, corporate partners, educators, entrepreneurs, financiers, golfers, kids, media industry,  parents, seniors and more to help develop the "Investment in Kid's Business Program".  The investment is just an hour of your time.  It can be as simple as doing what you normally do with a child and just add a little business talk or by becoming an e-Mentor.
