Thank you for this amazing resource for aspiring entrepreneurs! Is there a place on the website to watch the entire show advertised on Aug 2007? The website, TheseKidsMeanBusiness (dot com) is a great resource, too, but I couldn't find a place to watch the whole show-did I miss it forever? Thanks.

@thebillionaireclub I know if you really think about when kids are young they have the biggest imagination and that's all that a bisiness is. A business all it takes is an idea.

This is really good. I have never understood why schools don't teach about the real world at all. It is the parents job but it doesn't happen in the home and the schools really need to change and fix this.

This is what I have been talking about for so long. Kids focusing on starting their own businesses instead of girls focusing on Justin Bieber and Twilight movies and saying how cute boys are. This is amazing and I say thank you to the Universe. If this can spread all over the world just imagine what our world will be like in about 15 years. This should be shown to every child and they should also be given the book, Think and Grow Rich by the master Napoleon Hill.

great. teens make great business people, they have a lot of enthusiasm and I am impressed that the instructors are wise enough to TEACH these students about ethics and morals that will surely impact them in a positive way in the long run. We must have compassion if we wish to be shown compassion
