About this simulation
A 90-minute, 4-round basic Express simulation on starting a one-person service business from zero, for high-school Career and Technical Education (business, marketing and landscape), entrepreneurship and personal-finance courses, DECA and FBLA chapters and youth-entrepreneurship programs.
Isaiah Varnadoe, 16, a fictional sophomore in Largo, Florida, mows his neighbors' lawns from 31 May to 19 September 2027, scored in four four-week periods.
Round by round you set the price of a visit and choose the tools, choose how to find customers and how to keep the books, decide what to do when there are more customers than hours and which add-on to sell, and keep the business going when school starts while handling a customer's cracked glass door.
Each period is scored on profit, profit per hour, weekly customers, reputation and records and compliance; flyers in mailboxes (18 U.S.C. 1725), or weed and feed applied for pay without the license Florida requires, caps the score. English with Spanish.
