A business a 10-year-old can start?

[Starmix]

What do you think a business a 10-year-old can start? It may sound ridiculous, but when I was 11 years old, I started making money. I sold candies beside our garage. My dad never interfered in my small business affairs. In fact, he bought me a piggy bank so I could save my profit. For young children, setting up a small business that can thrive within your circle of friends, family, and neighbors is a great way to go like selling homemade goods, offering to do chores, or tutoring other children at his or her age. A kid like that will grow independent and financially responsible. When I was in college, I rented a room apartment and one day a little boy, almost 10 years old, approached me. He needs money for his savings program, lol. I asked him what he wanted. He begged me to clean my room . What a pity, so I allowed him to sweep and scrub the tiled flooring with a wet and dry rag. I paid him $ 4 ( P 400 pesos ) He hugged me, gosh, what a sweet boy,

Oh, that's sweet of you, @Starmix . You're a blessing to that boy. I used to sell lemonade during my childhood days in our front yard too, and my neighbors loved it. I also sell ice candy whenever summer comes together with my friends, and then we will divide our profit and go to the carnival. So maybe a 10-year-old kid can do that too.

Wow, you did a good job when you were also a kid. the feeling was jumpy jumpy when saw our earnings. But I saved my money and didn't spend a single centavo until my college days. I was a thrifty one but when I was in college, I lived an extravagant life which I regretted.

That is why you are blessed; you help others. Yes, a 10-year-old can start selling online, but only with the guidance of his or her parents, especially when scammers/predators are everywhere.

 

[Starmix]

It's not encouraging for a 10 year old kid to sell online, That age lacks know how, no skill and he might feel tiered easily. It is safe to teach a child to do business by selling fruits at home.

I can relate to this, back then as a kid, I would cut out forms from our chairs and beds, then shape them to have human shapes (though no face) then I would sell them to my friends as action figures, or i would cut out movie posters then use them as covers for a jotter then sell them

You were too lucky and you are still lucky to live in a country like the Philippines. If it were in Italy (and southern Europe in general), your parents would have faced a trial, imprisonment and the garage would have been confiscated by the police. Unfortunately, children in Italy can't start any business at all (due to an ancient story of children's job exploitation similar to slavery, so there are plenty of ideological laws that are used to create tons of side effects). If a child works, it's a crime punished by criminal law, condemning the parents. You must reach legal age to work (the only exception is a commerce yet owned by the parents, not managing anything dangerous, for ex. chemical substances, but the child must be older than 10 years old to engage in a little helping activity) or at least, the age to become an apprentice (that is 15 years old, but in such a case you still cannot start a business, as your only option is to become an apprentice by someone else adult owning a business). To not talk about in the Western world, especially southern Europe, even having reached legal age, you cannot open whatever business if you first aren't allowed by governmental bodies (Major's House, Department of Public Health, fire department and so on). Otherwise, you'll be severely fined at the point you get broken.

The garage is ours. There were three cars at home when I was a child. My father was a military official and received a huge salary. My eldest brother and sister also had their own gold businesses physical. There is no reason for people here to get jailed because a child was selling candies in their own garage where kids can enter and buy. I do not like a country like yours that acts like a communist.

In fact, my former country is surrounded by a pseudo-communist environment that destroyed all the freedom conquered after the Second World War. Nor I would be enthusiast to return to live there. It's one of the last countries where I would put my feet again.

It is assumed that your previous country has improved a lot, that they must not adopt the communism rules and dogmas. It must stand independent but strong for people's welfare.

Welfare in my former country has been literally destroyed too. 12 among 20 regions are yet third world, where health mercantilism like the American continent is now a sad reality. And educational mercantilism always has been a sad reality since the country has existed. The new government is trying to reverse such a mishap, but it can't make miracles. 18 months of government can't replace 33 years of dilapidation caused by the previous governments who were obeying the EU orders. In any way, I forget to point out that my former country is particularly multifaceted. I explained the standard circumstances happening in the standard regions, but especially in some central and in the extreme northern areas (on the borders of Austria and Ex-Yugoslavia), the culture and economy completely change and it's still worthy to live in such areas (where the main languages are German and Ladin).

 

[Starmix]

That's sad reality. The government must initiate something to improve or elevate the standard living of the people. They're differing a lot.

 

[pousinha]

The sad reality is EU bossing around south European politicians and the pseudo-communist are always ready to obey to Brussels' orders without questioning anything. Since EU was born, the dominant countries in the central Europe act in their own interest, wasting the southern countries, leaving them more and more poor.

When I was in grade 4 or 5 I started selling local chocolates at school. Imagine, I have one purse for all my school things and the other for the products I bought in the market. It did not last though, because my classmates were asking it for free. LOL But, yes, it is doable for kids to start doing business but with the parents' guidance.

And you were lucky even this way ! If it were in the Western world, always assuming that the working children's parents won't face jail (as in many Western countries, children's work when they are under the legal age, is a crime punished by criminal code), your classmates could also have robbed your chocolates, as unfortunately, bullying at schools is too ordinary in such countries.

It is punishable by law here as well. If kids needs to work, say in the entertainment industry they need to have a consent from the parents or guardian. The stint I did before was not really a job, it was something that wanted to do to raise money through the profit I will get. Unfortunately, I was not able to continue because in the classroom my classmates doesn't want to buy but wanted it free.

A 10 year old can learn how to play musical instruments and go ahead to play for people in their events and parties for a small fee. That's a good business that won't compromise the gradual development of the 10 year old.

 

[Starmix]

The 10 year old kid who asked work at home has now his little store. There's no doubt this little boy becomes rich when he grows up. He knows the value of money.

 

[Min George]

I don't think a 10 year old is mentally mature to handle a business. It could be his or her parents are running it in the background. No business for a 10 year old.

 

[Starmix]

A 10 year old can handle only a small business like selling candies but that kid will feel bored after some days or weeks. He will like to play with peers.
