Kids don’t just watch videos—they launch.

“CEO Kids has been an amazing experience for my son. He learned how to calculate profit, understand time investment, and what it really means to run a business. He also learned that not every decision works out and how to adjust and improve from experience. I’m very happy with what he’s gained from this.”

— MarKidplace Parent, First-Time Kid Entrepreneur

“My daughter learned so much about starting a business through CEO Kids. It gave her real knowledge and confidence, and it even got her brother excited to join. Now they’re both involved, thinking creatively about what to sell and how to improve. They truly love it.”

— MarKidplace Parent, Sibling Sellers

“We absolutely love the CEO Kid curriculum. It’s such a smart and fun way to teach kids real-life skills. They’ve taken the classic lemonade stand idea to the next level, giving kids the tools and confidence to succeed. These teachings will certainly create a whole new generation of leaders. Highly recommend.”

— Jackson L.

From “I don’t know what business to start” to “I just made my first sale.”

16 easy-to-follow video lessons, each with a clear mission so they always know what to do next.

Pick Their Business Idea

Students learn how to choose a realistic business idea by identifying real problems, matching ideas to their strengths, and creating a clear plan they can actually start—without overwhelm or guesswork.

Build Their Brand

Students learn how to clearly define who they are, what they stand for, and how they show up—so customers, teachers, and adults know exactly what to expect from them.

Master Money Management

Students learn how to price products and services by calculating costs, valuing their time, setting income goals, and checking the market—so they don’t guess with money, they manage it.

Run Business with Integrity

1

Kickoff

At the start of the course, you and your child watch the parent–kid welcome video and choose a realistic business idea that excites them. Then, you complete a short Startup Sit-Down. During this mini meeting, you decide how to keep things balanced, how you’ll support your child through the course, and make it clear that your child is in the driver’s seat. Expectations are set upfront, so your child can succeed without confusion or burnout.

2

Self-Paced Learning

Your child moves through the lessons at their own rhythm—whether that’s one lesson a week or one lesson a day. This flexibility means busy kids with lots of extracurriculars won’t feel overwhelmed, and independent learners can race ahead when they’re excited. Each child finds their own pace, which builds confidence and ownership. The creativity and problem-solving skills they develop translate directly to schoolwork, sports, and social situations.

3

Celebrate Progress

You’re the sideline coach—asking probing questions to help them think through challenges, not solving problems for them. The course encourages your child to take the initiative the whole way, which gives you more free time while building their confidence and independence. Watch their pride grow with each milestone they hit on their own.

Everything you need to know

Is my child too young, too shy, or too busy?

The CEO Kid is designed for ages 9-15, and we’ve seen success across all personality types. If your child is involved in lots of extracurriculars, you don’t want to add one more long commitment to their plate. The program solves this with flexibility—they can work through lessons when it fits their schedule, without pressure or deadlines. The creativity and problem-solving skills they develop translate beautifully to other areas like school projects, team sports, and social situations. Shy kids often thrive because they can work at their own pace and practice confidence-building skills in a low-pressure environment before taking their business into the real world.

How much of this do I have to teach?

Almost nothing. The video lessons do the teaching for you. You’re the sideline coach—asking probing questions to help them think through challenges and explore solutions. Our course encourages your child to take the initiative the whole way, which means you get more free time while they build real-world skills and confidence. A little guidance goes a long way when the program is designed to make them independent.

What if my child doesn’t finish the course?

You have lifetime access, so there’s no pressure. They can pause, come back, or revisit lessons as needed. The CEO Elite + Mentorship includes built-in accountability checkpoints and calls scheduled after milestones, not random Zooms, so they keep moving instead of getting stuck. Many families find that once kids make their first sale, their motivation skyrockets and they race through the remaining lessons.

Will this interfere with school or homeschool plans?

Not at all. The CEO Kid complements your existing education with total flexibility. Your child can work through the program at whatever pace works for them—whether that’s an hour a week or a lesson each day. What makes this truly valuable is how practical everything is. The skills they learn about entrepreneurship translate directly to everyday life: critical thinking, communication, money management, goal-setting, and problem-solving. These aren’t just business skills—they’re life skills that will serve them in school, relationships, and future careers. Many families use it as an elective or life skills credit for homeschool transcripts.

What if we live outside the U.S.?
