Milton Friedman – Noble Prize-winning economist - passed away on Thursday November 16, 2006. Yes, that was just last week and he was 94.I thought the Greg Ip and Mark Whitehorse article in the Wall Street Journal (“How Milton Friedman Changed Economics, Policy and Markets”) the following day was great. Below are a few lines that I think are important. Few people who are most impacted by the

Biz4Kids.com - Spring/Summer 2006 Families choose to have pets for many reasons and one key reason is to teach kids a sense of responsibility.

Children also learn the importance of taking care of

The article below is from http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2006/lemelson-teens.htmlI think you'll find this very interesting. A good exercise would be to ask your BizKid to make predictions for the next 12 months, next 5 years and what the world will look like in 20 years. What would I have said in 1986? Hmmmm, very interesting. Enjoy the information below and thanks to MIT for sharing this with

Over the past couple of weeks several people have emailed me regarding the Biz4Kids Kit and how little it emphasizes MONEY. Yes, we do talk about money throughout the books and worksheets but we don't talk about what to do with the money once it has been earned. It is important to remember that earning is just the begining of the process. With an incomplete understanding of how money is

I hope you enjoy this little post. These are not my words but I share the same thoughts. +++++++++++++In the world of entrepreneurs, desire is the common denominator -- and it is truly a powerful force. But what is not common among entrepreneurs is what is desired. Perhaps there are two kinds of entrepreneurial desire: the desire to accomplish something entrepreneurial, and the desire

Peter Drucker, the very insightful management guru who believed in entrepreneurship, passed away earlier this month. Steve Forbes wrote an interesting piece in the Wall Street Journal about him. Here are a few things I think are worth mentioning.Over two decades ago, Mr. Drucker wrote: "The economy is forever going to change and is biological rather than mechanistic in nature. The innovator is
