Ready to take your family’s entrepreneurial spirit to the next level? Let’s put on our thinking caps and brainstorm some more ideas that will make your business ventures shine brighter than a lightbulb moment💡
Brainstorm Incoming
- Solve What You Know: Start by identifying everyday problems or annoyances. The most successful businesses often solve real-world issues!
- Inspiration Station: Provide magazines, craft supplies, or random objects from around the house for some visual and tactile inspiration.
Take It Further
- No Teeth: Instead of judging ideas harshly, older family members or appointed “Sharks” ask questions geared towards developing the ideas further.
- You’re Funded: Rather than picking just one winner, assign a pretend budget for the family to invest in multiple ideas – promoting collaboration, not just competition.
- Theme Snacks: Set up a concession stand with snacks fit for budding business moguls. Once they get funding for their business, they can spend some pretend money at the snack bar!
- It’s Official:Â Create fun certificates for “Most Innovative Idea,” “Best Pitch,” and “Teamwork Award” at the end of the night.
