My Kidzforce Experience - A Paper Route

This weekend, we introduced publicly, Kidzforce, a new opportunity for young and ambitious kids to learn the skills necessary to help them become future business leaders, and make a few bucks along the way.  I personally am excited about this program because aside from mowing neighbors' lawns or babysitting, there are very few programs these days that provide real life job experience.  Of course, we still have programs such as  the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, which provide valuable life lessons to prepare young children for the real world, but nothing that provides the depth of field for entrepreneurship.  I had such an opportunity as a kid, and looking back, it taught me the single most important lesson I've learned in my professional career.
