Run a Business in High School with Melissa Horst: Season 1 Episode 14

High school is more than just Algebra and Science. One of the best ways to grow your skills (and give yourself an edge) is to start your own business.

Melissa Horst, one of my childhood friends, has run her own dog raising business all through her high school experience. She joins me today to tell her story, talk about the ups and downs of working with dogs, and give her tips for anyone who wants to consider starting a small business in high school.

She incorporated her love for animals and hands-on learning into a business of her own!

What this episode covers:

  • How do you stay focused on your education when you are a hands-on learner?
  • How does a business teach time management?
  • How can you set your own goals and stick to them without external accountability?
  • What is a normal day like balancing a business and your education?
  • How do you stay motivated when you set your own schedule?
  • What does it take to run a business of your own as a teenager?
  • What is the benefit of customer service work?
