For example, you might enjoy music, building, athletics, or games. If you happen to think of business ideas too, that's great! For example, you might already know that you want to make bracelets and sell them at a neighborhood market. Or you may just write down that you enjoy dogs, playing the piano, or drawing. Look at the list of things you enjoy and think of things you could make or do based on those things. This will be your business idea. For example, if you love kids, start a babysitting service. If you enjoy drawing, make paintings or sketches to sell at local craft fairs. You could turn a knack for computers into a job designing apps. Once you've decided on a product or service, consider if you're mainly interested in making money with the business or whether you'd be happier treating it like a hobby. Make a list of all the equipment you'll need and ask an adult to help you get them. It's also important to get training that's necessary for the job you want to do.

You may be able to buy some simpler materials on your own if you have a little money to work with. For example, if you want to make bracelets, you can start by buying some beads and jewelry wire at a craft store. If you need larger equipment, such as a lawn mower, talk with an adult about borrowing or renting the machine. in person if you like working directly with customers. If you choose to sell your product or market your services in person, find a location such as a booth or stall. Find out if there are any fees you need to pay in order to sell your items. To market services, consider going door-to-door and leaving flyers. For example, sell homemade candles at your town's weekly market. To advertise your landscaping business, you might leave door-hanging flyers in your neighborhood. Even if you're selling a service, it's a good idea to have a website so people can contact you, read reviews, and see what services you offer. Set up other social media accounts so you can show pictures of your work. Depending on how old you are, you might need your parents' help to set up and run your online accounts. For example, if you baked a cake for someone's birthday party, ask the customer if you can share a photo of the cake at the party. Think about incentives you can offer customers. For example, offer a slight discount if they sign up for a regular service instead of a one-time service. You can also reach customers all over the world by running at least part of your business online! Make a list of all the supplies you'll have to buy, as well as things that will cost money once the business is going, such as advertising. Examine how much money you have available to start your business and how you're going to spend it. If you need money to start the business, ask your parents or family if they'd like to be investors. For example, take an itemized list of your business costs to your parents and tell them exactly how much money you need to start up. Offer to use some of your own money or give them control over certain business aspects, such as marketing. For example, if you're running a craft booth, list the fee for renting the space, the cost of tables or a tent, and the costs for your materials. While it's a good idea to have a few financial goals, such as making money after a month or two, keep in mind that there are other ways to succeed in business.

Article: If you and your parents do not see eye-to-eye, certain conflicts are inevitable. You may find yourself frequently frustrated with a disagreement. When a conflict does come up, talk it out. Plan a good time and place to talk over disagreements. Pick the right time to talk. Remember that life is busy for adults, so make sure you know your parents' schedules. Think about when your parents are usually free. For example, maybe one or both of your parents are occupied on most weekday nights, but everyone tends to be home on Saturdays. Choose a location where everyone is comfortable and one that is free from outside distractions. For example, the living room may be a bad option if it contains the TV. Instead, opt to sit around around the kitchen table and talk. Before you talk with your parents, spend some time considering your own point of view. You want to identify the problem and your feelings surrounding it before going into the conversation. This way, you'll be better equipped to express your feelings. It can help to write it out. Take a piece of paper and jot down the issue you're having. For example, "Mom and Dad won't let me go to a slumber party until I'm 12, so I'm missing my best friend's birthday." Now that you've identified your problem, write down your feelings. How and why do you feel you're being misunderstood? For example, "I feel like my parents don't understand how much Sophie means to me. I want to be a good friend and go to her party." Once you're ready to talk out the issue, be mature. You're unlikely to bridge any gaps by going into the situation with anger. Remaining calm, explain to your parents how and why you feel they're being unfair and how you feel you're being misunderstood. Be clear, direct, and honest with your parents about how you feel. There is no sense withholding any information as you're striving to be understood. For example, state something like, "I feel sad that I can't go to Sophie's party. It's important for me to be a good friend to her, and I feel like you don't understand that." As you talk, try to understand your parents' point of view. Why might your parents not want you to attend this party? Do they have any good reasons? You should not whine or complain when talking to your parents. If you maintain a friendly and respectful tone, you're more likely to communicate effectively. If your parents do not change their minds, do not yell or sulk. Say something like, "I understand you don't want me to go to the party, but I want you to understand where I'm coming from." If your parents do not understand you, they may not ever agree with you in regards to certain things. In these cases, part of acceptances is agreeing to disagree. If there's still misunderstanding between you and your parents after a discussion, work on accepting the fact and moving forward. There may be room for compromise in some situations. For example, your parents may agree you can attend your friend's party, as long as you don't sleepover. However, compromise is not possible in all situations. If you and your parents can't find a way to meet each other halfway, you'll need to agree to disagree. Remember, you're your own person. You have a set of thoughts, values, and opinions that will not always align with your parents. You can follow your parents' rules, especially if you are still living at home, but keep in mind you do not have to agree with them. It's okay to have differences of opinions between yourself and your parents.
