wo years ago when I made a choice to shift to my hometown, I was scared about my son's education. I was worried about his education but I didn't want to settle for anything less than what he was already learning. After visiting some local schools I was sure this was not what I was looking for my son.

I decided to homeschool my son with online education that he would need for his grade level. Since I decided to work from home, It was easy for me to manage both.

Homeschooling has been an amazing journey for both of us, and I can say it has made me a better parent and him a smarter kid. The way I see it, homeschooling is a lot like entrepreneurship. You have to be organized, you have to be creative, and you have to be willing to put in the extra work.

What leads a person to choose homeschooling/entrepreneurship?

There are a few things that lead a person to choose homeschooling or entrepreneurship, and they are usually the same things.

1) They Choose not to settle- When you see a problem and cannot find the solution, you do not want to adjust or compromise, you want to find a way to solve it.

2) They want more control over their life- You want to be in charge of your own learning, and you don't want anyone else dictating what you should learn. In the same way, when you're an entrepreneur, you're in charge of your own business and no one else can tell you what to do.

3) They want to make a difference -You see the potential in homeschooling to change the world and make it a better place. When you're an entrepreneur, you see the potential in your business to make a difference in the world.

4) They are risk-takers - You're willing to take risks because you know that it's worth it. When you're an entrepreneur, you're also willing to take risks, because you know that it's worth it.

5) They are independent- You want to be able to do things your own way and on your own terms. When you're an entrepreneur, you also want to be able to do things your own way and on your own terms.

6) They want to be able to spend more time with their family- You want to be able to spend more time with your kids, and you don't want anyone else telling you how to do it. When you're an entrepreneur, you also want to be able to spend more time with your family, because you know that it's important.

7) They want to be able to pursue their passions- You want to be able to homeschool because you're passionate about it, and you want your kids to be able to pursue their passions. When you're an entrepreneur, you also want to be able to pursue your passions, because you know that it's important.

8) They are tired of the existing system- You're tired of the traditional education system because you know that it's not working. When you're an entrepreneur, you're also tired of the traditional system, because you know that it's not working.

9) They are ready to go against the normal- You're ready to go against the grain because you know that it's important. People will not accept the idea that you getting independent, thinking outside the box, and breaking away from the "normal". When you're an entrepreneur, you're also ready to go against the grain, because you know that it's important.

10) They don't want to be dependent on a system - Homeschoolers are not dependent on a fixed curriculum, or a particular teaching method. They design their own curriculum, and they use a variety of methods to teach their kids. When you're an entrepreneur, you're not dependent on anyone else to tell you what to do. You're in charge of your own business, and you can do things your own way.

What skills are common in a home-schooler and an entrepreneur:

Being Aware: The first step to being an entrepreneur is being aware of the world around you and the problems that need to be solved. To be a good homeschooler, you also need to be aware of the world around you and the problems that need to be solved.

This means being observant and constantly looking for ways to improve things. It means being willing to question the status quo and look for better ways to do things.

It also means being open-minded and willing to try new things. When you're an entrepreneur, you have to be open to new ideas and willing to experiment. If something doesn't work, you have to be willing to try something else.

Figuring the possibility:

Being resourceful: Another important skill for entrepreneurs is being resourceful. This means that you need to be able to find the resources you need to get things done.

To be a good homeschooler, you also need to be resourceful. This means that you need to be able to find the resources you need to homeschool your kids.

This can include finding online resources, homeschooling groups, and other support systems. It also means being willing to ask for help when you need it.

Being organized is key in both entrepreneurship and homeschooling. As an entrepreneur, you have to be able to keep track of your inventory, your finances, and your deadlines. In homeschooling, you have to be able to keep track of your child's learning materials, assignments, and progress. If you're not organized, things can quickly get out of control.

Creativity is also important in both entrepreneurship and homeschooling. As an entrepreneur, you have to be able to come up with new ideas, solve problems, and market your product. In homeschooling, you have to be able to come up with new ways to teach your child, keep them engaged, and make learning fun. If you're not creative, both your business and your homeschool will suffer.

Research and constant Learning are required both in Homeschooling and Entrepreneurship. You have to be willing to put in the extra work if you want to be successful in either homeschooling or entrepreneurship. If you're not willing to do the research, try new things, and put in the extra effort to be on the lookout.

Self Motivation Homeschooling parents also have to be very self-motivated. It can be easy to get discouraged when homeschooling, especially if your child is struggling with a particular subject. But just like entrepreneurs, homeschooling parents have to push through the tough times and keep going until their children are successful.

Not conforming to one idea- Homeschoolers are often times not conforming to one idea. Much like an entrepreneur they have different methods, thoughts, and opinions when it comes to education. They do not let one method dictate how they should educate their children.

They don't have to follow someone, They are free to pick and practice what suits their child's needs,

They understand that each child learns differently and what works for one might not work for another. This is a key trait for an entrepreneur as well. Being able to think outside the box and come up with new ideas is what helps businesses succeed.

Asking for help and joining the community As an entrepreneur, you can't do everything alone. You need to build a network of people who can help you with your business, whether it's marketing, accounting, or product development. In homeschooling, you also need to build a network of people who can support you and offer advice. Whether it's other homeschooling families, teachers, or homeschooling organizations, you need to have people you can turn to when you need help.

For many parents, homeschooling their children is a way to take control of their education and ensure that their kids are getting the best possible education. But homeschooling is also a lot like running your own business.

Lastly, homeschooling parents have to be able to wear many hats. Not only are they responsible for teaching their children, but they also have to be their child's guidance counselor, nurse, and friend. They have to be able to juggle all of these different roles and still make sure that their children are getting the best education possible.

Homeschooling is not for everyone, but for those parents who are willing to take on the challenge, it can be a very rewarding experience. Just like entrepreneurship, homeschooling requires dedication, hard work, and a lot of patience. But for those parents who are up for the challenge, the rewards are definitely worth it.
