  • Youth Entrepreneurship Education Thriving in China

    November 17, 2010  |  3 comments

    This week we have Victor Salama, NFTE’s Vice President of Business and International Partnerships, guest blogging for us to tell us about his recent trip to China for their 4th annual National Business Plan Competitiion.

    I just came back from China having attended the Bright China Foundation’s (BCF) 4th annual National Business Plan Competition for its youth entrepreneurship program.  What a fantastic experience!  Having worked with BCF since it became a NFTE licensee in 2003, I knew that they ran excellent programs, and over the years I have had the opportunity to meet several graduates and some teachers.  But being there in person at the competition was really eye opening.

    Through the NFTE program, I created a business plan which is centered on catering smoothies. My business is called Smoothie Run and I came up with the idea of smoothie catering when I noticed people in my school drinking large amounts of caffeinated drinks. I noticed that these drinks were having major negative effects on their bodies, and once the drink was out of their system they would crash. This is an extremely dangerous situation because these individuals were becoming dependent on caffeine, and it was happening at young ages. Through seeing this I began to think about the different alternatives that people could be drinking instead and that’s how I came up with making smoothies. Smoothies are a great way to energize a person as well as fill up their bodies with something that’s good for them.

    “A large segment of America is in the midst of an economic and education crisis that threatens to relegate a vast majority of our future generations to the front seat of the bus: the driver's seat.”

  • Raising the Entrepreneurial Child

    October 25, 2010  |  0 comments

    This week we’ve reached out to our friends down in South Florida asking the question “What does it take to raise an entrepreneurial child?” Alice Horn, the Executive Director at NFTE South Florida, tells us that she’s heard countless times from parents she has met, “How can I make sure my child thinks like an entrepreneur?”  In her experiences parents in fact realize that their children have the ability to reason, be creative, analyze and collaborate which are all essen

    Many of my peers look at my business success and think it was some kind of wizardry that got me to where I am now. It’s true that I’m 21 years old, have a thriving fashion jewelry business, a website (struggling), accounts with boutiques, and my products in magazines like Teen Vogue. But my success did not come overnight.
