For a teen with a dream and drive, summertime is the perfect window to start building something real. With school out, you’ve got time, flexibility and the energy to experiment.
If you’ve got even a tiny business idea — maybe growing veggies, upcycling old stuff, offering services, or using your digital skills — now is the time to push. Instead of “just relaxing,” you can use these weeks to test your idea, build a prototype, do research, and get your hustle going.
Practical Tips You Can Do This Summer
- Use the extra time to plan and test: With no school pressure, sketch out your business idea, write a plan, research your market, maybe even build a small prototype or sample offering.
- Start something real, no matter how small: If you’re into farming, creative crafts, upcycling or offering a service to neighbours — Business in a Box gives you a ready‑made roadmap.
- Learn useful business skills: Planning, money sense, sales, marketing, and resilience are all skills gained by running a small venture.
- Use local demand & community: Provide goods or services people may need during summer.
- Reach out for support: Teen Entrepreneur offers guidance, resources and workshops.
Why It Matters
The goal and aim of teen entrepreneurship is more than providing some pocket money to spend it’s to help our youth become their own bosses, grow self-confidence, create value and gain real-life experience.
