Why Entrepreneurship Education at Age 10?
In a modern world increasingly defined by AI and unpredictable job markets, the pressing question for parents today is:
What skills should we equip our children with? The traditional focus on exam preparations may not foster the necessary
resilience that children need to thrive. Hiroki Mori, having worked closely with over 500 families and receiving acclaim for his methods, stresses the need for developing
overwhelming self-agency rather than merely financial acumen.
Core Philosophy: Transforming Passion into Power
The book is not about merely training children to make money; it aims to connect their innate enthusiasm with society. Mori introduces his unique
"Five-Step Growth Cycle Method", which nurtures
intrinsic motivation,
self-determination, and
perseverance. One essence of this method is the importance of not fearing failure. Children are encouraged to take risks, transform failures into opportunities for growth, and continuously engage in the cycle of learning.

The book is designed to be practical and helpful for families at different levels of understanding.
