"A child who masters the fundamentals of entrepreneurship sets the foundation for his success; a community that fosters this education exponentially increases prosperity, freedom and peace for all."

The Future Business Leaders’ Series™

The Future Business Leaders’ Series™ is a set of fiction adventure books that introduce pre-teens to the concepts of business and entrepreneurship. The message crosses all geographic, gender, racial and socioeconomic lines by empowering kids to reach for their dreams while learning real life lessons. The lessons covered in the series can make all the difference in a kid's future: the importance of dreaming big, protecting an idea, fighting doubts, building self-esteem, hiring the right people, finding the right real estate, listening to customers, branding, knowing the competition, networking, and achieving success.

Tyler’s peers are other children of the city of Nessibus with various skills and talents whose stories of becoming business leaders are told in separate books. These stories make up the Future Business Leaders’ Series™. The plots of the various books interweave as the characters become suppliers, customers, and referrals for one another, emphasizing the power of networking and its influence over one’s business success.

About Tyler and His Solve-a-matic Machine

Book 1 of the Future Business Leaders’ Series™ is Tyler & His Solve-a-matic Machine, a children’s fiction story introducing the concepts of entrepreneurship to kids ages 8 to 14.

Tyler and His Solve-a-matic Machine is about an orphaned boy named Tyler who invents a machine to help him do his homework faster and creates a business to manufacture this machine. He must endure many tests set out for him by Soté, before he can officially become a successful business owner and realize his dream of sailing around the world. These tests are symbolic of obstacles encountered by adult entrepreneurs in the real world.

It is set in the city of Nessibus, a metropolis, whose streets radiate with the energy of commerce. The true adventure begins when Tyler arrives at a high rise building. Each floor in the building takes the reader to another world where reality and imagination fuse.

Tyler encounters many adult figures in the building who are portrayed as animals with traits characterizing their professions—an octopus real-estate agent who’s always on her cell phone, a monkey attorney who likes to be paid in bananas, and a polar bear CPA who knows his way through crunching numbers, to name a few.

This story appeals to kids because it arouses their senses as the main characters perform adventurous tasks and solve challenging, play-on-word riddles. It appeals to parents and teachers because it can be used as a teaching tool for entrepreneurship, leadership, networking and free trade.

Tyler Passes the Golden Key

Book 2 of the Future Business Leaders’ Series™ is Tyler Passes The Golden Key, a children’s fiction story introducing the concepts of entrepreneurship to kids ages 8 to 14.

As Tyler fulfills his dream of sailing around the world, Giselle returns to Nessibus and the Solve-a-matic factory only to find a creepy man that lurks in a boat in nearby waters, an eerie (and stinky!) fog has settled in, and Tyler's customers have disappeared! The company is on the brink of bankruptcy and to complicate her worries, Tyler gets stuck out at sea with no wind to carry him back home. Giselle faces the greatest challenge of her life as she must figure out how to market the Solve-a-matic Machines to increase Tyler's sales and bring him home.
