There are some very tangible reasons why homeschoolers so often thrive as entrepreneurs.

3 Reasons Homeschoolers Often Become Entrepreneurs

I learned the word “entrepreneurship” when I was 12. I had just started my first business, and my mother informed me I was now an “entrepreneur.”

Article by Hannah Frankman from FEE.

I didn’t know what the word meant, but I liked the way it sounded.

Even better, I liked having a business. I was selling hand-knitted dolls, made from patterns I had designed myself. I sold them for $24 apiece, which, at 12 years old, was good money. It would only take me four sales to make nearly $100, and $100 significantly upped the balance I scrawled on the lid of my money box.

That number excited me when I first got started. Little did I know I would surpass it many times over in the years I was in business.

The money was nice. More importantly, I was learning real-world lessons about life, business, and being opportunistic—skills that served me well in my future entrepreneurial ventures, such as breaking into the startup world and becoming a professional development coach.

It wasn’t until I was an adult that I realized how much of an advantage being homeschooled gave me when it came to thinking entrepreneurially.

There are some very tangible reasons why.

Gimmicks work for many precious metals companies. I despise gimmicks, which is why I recommend the straightforward approach of Our Gold Guy. If you want to buy precious metals, don’t get jacked around. Contact Ira.

1. Immersed in the Business World

I grew up watching my parents engage in business. I’d sit at the kitchen table to do math in the morning, while my mom made lunch a few feet away. In the afternoon I’d go out with my parents to run errands, and I’d get to watch my mom make transactions at the bank and decisions at the store.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but the world of a homeschooler is very different from the world of a public schooler.

The world of public school is divided into segments: ages divided by grade, days divided by period, life divided by school vs. work vs. activities.

The world of a homeschooler, on the other hand, is organic. It’s all one world: work and play, learning and recreation. The adult world is not a distant thing to be engaged with “someday.” It’s just part of the sandbox kids are playing in on a daily basis.

So the connections between “people do that” and “I could do that” happen organically.

While the public schooler is stuck in class, the homeschooled kid is home to watch the landscaper pull up and take care of the neighbor’s lawn. The possibility is presented to them: “what if I did that?” A push mower and a weedwhacker later, a new landscaping venture is born.

Of course, this doesn’t mean a public schooler can’t start a landscaping business too. Many do, I’m sure. But the homeschooler has two distinct advantages:

  1. They see opportunities for entrepreneurship more clearly.
  2. The surface area for opportunities to come to them is greater, because they’re around in the real world and exposed to them.

Both of these advantages make a big difference.

Calories = Survival. Buy 364,720 Calories of delicious food today. Heck, buy two.

2. Freedom to Lean Into Opportunities

Back when I was working my first office job, I remember my CEO’s homeschooled kids coming into the office to run a bake sale.

They had made the connection that their dad had a bunch of hungry employees, that they had baking skills, and that those two things went well together. They made cookies and Rice Krispy bars and some cute signs and brought them all into the office one Friday around lunchtime.

If I remember correctly, they made bank.

It is our natural inclination as children to mimic the behavior of others in the real world. Just think about how much small children love toys like cash registers and play kitchens. Little kids tend toward play-mimicry; as kids get older, they start gravitating toward real-world emulation and experimentation.

When there’s less distinction between things you “have to do” and things you “want to do,” between “kid stuff” and “grown up stuff,” it’s much easier for the worlds to blend.

And on a practical level, homeschooled kids just have more time. If you’re not waiting for bells and periods and other students, your school work doesn’t actually take that long.

Most kids I knew growing up could get their work done in two or three hours a day, which left them with the rest of the day to play with.

Literally. They could play, they could explore their interests, they could have fun.

When preparing for societal collapse, don’t forget the water!

3. How Play Evolves Into Entrepreneurship

Often it’s an organic transition from play to entrepreneurship: such a fine line that it isn’t even discernible to the naked eye.

I started my doll-making business by accident. I was playing with knitting patterns, found an idea I liked, and made the doll—just for fun.

Then I gave it to my little sister as a present—just for fun.

One of the homeschooling moms I knew loved the doll and asked if she could buy one. So I sold her a custom order—just for fun.

And then I realized that this was a process I could rinse and repeat—and make money off of. And slowly my opportunistic tendencies kicked in. But it all stemmed from play.

There are many valuable things that we’re naturally drawn to. But it’s only when we’re given the freedom to play that we get to go explore them, try them out, find how they’re valuable and make them stick.

And since we’re just playing, it’s always fun.

And since it’s always fun, we keep going.

The economy is tanking. We recommend two America First precious metals companies. Our Gold Guy delivers personal service with no gimmicks. JD GoldCo offers a wide array of products. You can’t go wrong with either (or both).

And since we keep going, we’re more likely to succeed.



New Conservative Network Seeks Crowdfunding Help

They say we have to go big or go home. We’re trying to go big and bring the patriotic truth the the nation, but we need help.

Readers may or may not realize that over the past year, we’ve been bringing more conservative news and opinion outlets under our wing. Don’t take our expansion as a sign of riches; all of the “acquisitions” have been through sweat and promises of greater things to come for all involved. As a result, we’ve been able to bring together several independent media sites under a unified vision of preventing America from succumbing to the progressive, “woke,” Neo-Marxist ideologies that are spreading like wildfire across America.

The slow and steady reopening of America is revealing there was a lot more economic hardship brought about from the Covd-19 lockdowns than most realize. While we continue to hope advertising dollars on the sites go up, it’s simply not enough to do things the right way. We are currently experiencing a gap between revenue and expenses that cannot be overcome by click-ads and MyPillow promos alone (promo code “NOQ” by the way).

To overcome our revenue gap and keep these sites running, our needs fluctuate between $3000-$7000 per month. In other words, we’re in the red and hemorrhaging.

The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring the truth to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well.

As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going.

Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?

Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.

There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.

Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.

Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.

We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.

To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We just launched a new GiveSendGo page. We also have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.

Thank you, and God Bless!
