💡 Why We Built Minor Chores: Empowering the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs
Twenty years ago, launching a neighborhood business meant a lot of trial and error. Flyers were printed. Neighbors were called. A website? That was out of reach. But thanks to a supportive dad and a relentless spirit, what once took weeks became a life-changing learning experience.
Today, with Minor Chores, that same entrepreneurial journey can start in minutes, not months—and it’s all built to be shared by families, together.
🧭 The Mission Behind Minor Chores
At Minor Chores, our mission is simple:
Equip kids with the tools, confidence, and values to launch real-world businesses—while deepening family connections in the process.
We believe that entrepreneurship isn’t just about making money. It’s about:
Problem-solving
Communication
Resilience
Creativity
Taking initiative
These values are timeless—and they’re now accessible to kids of all ages, right from their phones (with a little help from Mom or Dad).
🚀 What Took Weeks, Now Takes Minutes
When our founder was a kid, building a business meant:
Designing flyers in Microsoft Word
Walking door-to-door to find customers
Calling neighbors from a home phone
Trying (and failing) to build a basic website
It was messy, slow, and incredibly valuable.
Today, Minor Chores automates and streamlines that entire process. Now kids can:
Build a personal business website with a few taps
Use our Kid CRM to track leads and send smart messages
Let customers book them instantly for services
Learn how to launch, grow, and run their business—all in-app
All of this happens in a safe, guided, and family-supported environment.
👨👩👧 Family Challenges: Building Together
Minor Chores is more than an app—it’s a shared experience.
With built-in Family Challenges, parents and kids can team up to:
Launch a business in under 5 minutes
Print out auto-generated marketing flyers with QR codes to kid’s website
Share the website with friends and neighbors
Brainstorm service ideas based on local needs
Celebrate wins and learn from setbacks together
These activities not only help kids build real skills, they also create opportunities for meaningful conversations, support, and encouragement.
🌱 Learning Through Doing
Minor Chores doesn’t just teach kids about business—it puts them in the driver's seat:
Want to mow lawns? Set your price and availability.
Want to walk dogs? Promote yourself with broadcast messaging.
Want to offer seasonal services? Create custom announcements.
Every step is hands-on. Every feature is designed to be kid-led and parent-supported. It’s entrepreneurship with training wheels—but they come off fast.
🏁 Where It All Leads
We built Minor Chores because we believe kids can do more than just chores—they can lead, serve, and build. With the right guidance and tools, a small hustle becomes a big lesson in independence, integrity, and grit.
What started 20 years ago with one dad and his kids now lives inside an app. But the heart of it—the values, the mentorship, the pride of earning your first dollar—remains exactly the same.
So here’s to the next generation of go-getters.
Minor Chores is here to help them start small, dream big, and grow fast—with their biggest supporters right beside them.
