?? Empowering Young Entrepreneurs Minor Chores & Junior Achievement of the Palm Beaches & Treasure Coast are both committed to empowering kids to harness their entrepreneurial spirit and take the first steps toward creating their own businesses. Mitch Thiem and his team created an innovative platform which helps kids set up their own businesses in their local neighborhoods (with parental controls in place!) so they can start earning money while exploring their entrepreneurial spirit. Kids naturally have a drive to create and innovate, and Minor Chores is here to guide them on this journey. We’re lucky to have him share his insights and speak to students about the tenacity and determination it takes to be a successful business owner. ?? Thank you, Mitch, for inspiring the next generation of leaders!
