The Business Adventures of Eddie the Entrepreneur: Mow-tivation

Children’s Business Education Through Storytelling

Big ideas start small.

Mow-tivation is a children’s business education story designed to introduce young readers to business concepts, decision-making, and entrepreneurial thought patterns through an engaging, relatable story.

Written for young entrepreneurs ages 6–10, the book helps children learn how entrepreneurs think—how they identify problems, recognize opportunities, make plans, and keep going when things don’t go perfectly.

Younger readers may enjoy the story as a read-aloud with adult guidance, while older readers can engage independently and reflect on the lessons.

This isn’t a textbook.
It’s business education through story.

What This Story Teaches

Mow-tivation focuses on thinking skills, not technical jargon.
The goal is to help children begin developing an entrepreneurial mindset early.

Children are introduced to:

• Problem-solving as a starting point

• Opportunity recognition in everyday life

• Planning before acting

• Responsibility and follow-through

• Time management and prioritization

• Resilience when challenges arise

• Understanding value and helping others

Each concept is modeled through Eddie’s choices and actions, making lessons easy to understand and discuss.

Business Thinking, Made Age-Appropriate

Children ages 6–10 are ready to move beyond simple morals and begin understanding cause-and-effect thinking.

This story helps children practice:

• Asking “What can I do?” instead of “That’s not fair”

• Breaking big goals into small, manageable steps

• Understanding that effort leads to outcomes

• Learning from mistakes and adjusting their approach

By the end of the story, children don’t just see Eddie succeed—they understand how he thought his way forward.

Perfect for:

• Children curious about money, work, and ideas

• Families introducing entrepreneurship at home

• Classrooms and after-school programs

• Community organizations focused on leadership and life skills

This book builds a strong foundation for future learning in entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and problem-solving.

Business Vocabulary Included in Every Book

At the end of each book, readers will find a Business Vocabulary section designed specifically for young learners.

This section:

• Introduces key business terms used in the story

• Provides simple, child-friendly definitions

• Includes examples directly connected to moments from the story

By linking vocabulary to Eddie’s experiences, children can clearly understand what each word means and how it applies in real life.

Educational Alignment (California Common Core – ELA)

Mow-tivation supports the California Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in English Language Arts (ELA) through storytelling, discussion, and real-world problem-solving examples.

• Reading comprehension and retelling

Why This Matters

Most children are taught what to memorize.
Few are taught how to think.

Mow-tivation introduces children to entrepreneurial thinking early—helping them build confidence, curiosity, and problem-solving skills that last far beyond the story.
