Episode 48 – Raising a Mogul and Other Kidpreneur Success Secrets with Zandra Cunningham and Tamara Zantell

March 2, 2021

At Homeschool CEO, we believe that kid entrepreneurs will grow up and change the world with their business ideas. That is why we’re doing what we can to support them, just like how Tamara Zantell supported her daughter, Zandra Cunningham, when she started her own business at the age of 9.

Tamara is a mom of 5 amazing game changing moguls, a brand strategist, and mentor, and she is committed to supporting the parents of biz kids and young moguls who are challenging the status quo and paving the way for change and new conversations. Zandra is a successful 20-year-old entrepreneur who followed her passions and started her own business selling lip balms and body butter a few days shy of her 10th birthday.

They’re both on the podcast today to share their incredible 11-year journey of how they grew Zandra Beauty from a small home based business into a national success. They also share the struggles and lessons they have learned in balancing entrepreneurship with homeschool and growing up as a kid entrepreneur.

We also talk about The Young Mogul Business Bootcamp and how Homeschool CEO kids have the chance to join us for a life changing experience.

If you’re raising a kid who wants to build their own successful business, this episode is a must-listen for the entire family.

I decided that it will be best for me to be able to go into homeschooling and actually learn the way I want, that I need and that works for me, and also be able to learn things that apply to real life.

[On homeschooling] “I have no regrets. I’m so glad that we made that decision. It was really the best decision we could have made.

I feel like that’s something that goes through the homeschool mindset sometimes is, “Oh my kid is missing out on all of these things.” Then when we layer on entrepreneurship on top of it, “Oh, they’re gonna miss out on being a kid.” But in fact, you’re opening their world to a whole other world of opportunities.

I knew that we were gonna be creating our own normal. And I just had to be strong enough to prepare her for that because I knew her emotions – that she was gonna go on a wild ride based on, especially since she was surrounded around, quote unquote, normal kids that we’re doing normal things.
~ Tamara

We brought the world and incorporated it into what she was doing so she didn’t feel like she was missing so much out there.
