From a very early age, my son has dreamed big. Like so many kids, he’s imagined being famous and rich, inspired by influencers like Mr. Beast who make success look fun and limitless. But what sets him apart—and makes me so proud—isn’t just his ability to dream but his determination to turn those dreams into reality.
With a little help from me, he puts in the work, learns the skills, and stays focused. His efforts paid off recently when he won the Maine Venture Fund’s Startup Challenge. Walking away with $1,000 in prize money to grow his business isn’t just a huge accomplishment for a 12-year-old; it’s a significant opportunity that requires him to rise to the occasion.
We sat down to discuss what this win meant and how he could make that money work for him. Creating a budget became essential—not just for tracking expenses but for mapping out how to grow his investment. Together, we explored what it takes to turn $1,000 into more opportunities, and I couldn’t be more excited for the road ahead.
