Absolutely - even if someone doesn't start their own business, everyone needs to learn how to hustle. The days of gold watch retirement after years with the same company are long gone!

We teach our kids about Sports, Karate, Dance, and many other things.... Let's start to be visionaries and think about what America will need in the future. I know that we will need more of our youth in robotics and entrepreneurship classes to keep our country educated on an international level.

Very True SSG (Join to see) Entrepreneurship is my passion All my kids have some sort of a business, and that teaches them to think outside the box. they are destined to never be employed unless its to learn a needed skill for a greater purpose. LT John Chang keep me posted on the plans and changes you and your group are involved in.
