Book excerpt: Do you wonder how you could ever stand in front of a group of children or adults and teach them about financial literacy when you dont feel like a very financially literate person? Do you wonder how to teach others about entrepreneurship when you arent an entrepreneur? Do you wonder how to encourage more teachers to teach financial literacy to students? Do you wish you had a resource that could help you learn these topics faster, better, and in a way that reduces your emotional and personal exposure? This book will show you how to turn what you already know about the world of business and financial literacy into fantastic teachable moments for your students. You will also learn how to turn what you dont know about the world of entrepreneurship and personal finance into wonderful opportunities for learning and personal development for you and your students.
