At The Hub, we believe that every young mind has the potential to innovate, lead, grow, and succeed.

Our monthly membership community is designed to nurture your child’s entrepreneurial spirit, providing them with the tools, support, and inspiration they need to thrive in both life and business.

The online community is accessible from anywhere in the world, bringing together teens in a safe, nurturing and inspirational space to connect, learn, grow and collaborate as they build their businesses and fulfil their visions and goals.

The Hub – Where Young Entrepreneurs Grow!

Are you the proud parent of a bright, ambitious teen who dreams of making a mark on the world?

Do you see the spark of innovation in their eyes, the drive to create, and the passion to succeed?

Are you frustrated by the lack of opportunities for them to earn their own money and develop independence?

Are they disheartened by the challenges they face in finding opportunities to express their ideas?

We understand how important it is to give our children the skills to become independent and self-reliant while also learning valuable skills for life and that’s why we’ve created the perfect platform to help your young entrepreneur thrive.

This supportive network will be a constant source of motivation and inspiration.

Support, encouragement and inspiration

Our dedicated team provides continuous mentorship as your child develops and grows their business ideas. We are here to celebrate their wins and guide them through challenges. They will never feel alone in this journey.

Book & Film Club 

Our in-house bibliotherapist curates a selection of books and films tailored to enhance both mental and practical skills. Through our book and film club, your child will explore topics and stories that foster growth, creativity, personal development, entrepreneurial skills, wisdom and valuable knowledge. It is designed to teach important life skills that will benefit both personal and business growth. Reading and discussing these books and films will help your teen develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership skills, all of which are essential for any successful entrepreneur.

We focus on holistic growth. From developing healthy habits to overcoming obstacles, and cultivating a growth mindset, our personal development approach is designed to help your child become the best version of themselves within a safe, nurturing, compassionate, and non-judgemental space.

Weekly Live Calls

Every week, your teen can join live calls for support and brainstorming sessions. These interactive meetings are led by Richard and Michelle who will often also host experts such as accountants, marketing professionals, influencers, and others who are dedicated to helping young entrepreneurs overcome challenges and achieve their goals. It’s a chance for your teen to ask questions, share ideas, celebrate their achievements, and gain encouragement from peers and mentors. These sessions are interactive, engaging, and highly beneficial. The timings of the calls will change each week to ensure that everyone in the group regardless of where they are in the world, can access them at one point or other.

Expert-Led Workshops

Our program includes monthly workshops on specific business and self-development topics delivered by industry experts. These sessions cover a wide range of subjects, from marketing and finance, time management, marketing, website design, e-commerce, sales, graphics, public speaking, confidence, AI, Canva, and much more. Your teen will gain practical knowledge and skills that they can apply directly to their own business ventures while helping develop a strong and healthy growth mindset.

Inspirational Speakers

We bring in inspirational speakers who have achieved success in their respective fields. These sessions are designed to motivate and inspire your teen, showing them what is possible with hard work, dedication, and a little bit of creativity. Hearing from successful entrepreneurs will ignite their ambition and fuel their entrepreneurial spirit as they share their stories of overcoming obstacles and limiting beliefs, their insights, and advice, motivating your child to aim high and achieve their goals.

Meet the Coaches

Michelle Foulia

I am a multi-award-winning entrepreneur, certified coach, therapist, and bestselling author passionate about empowering young people to embrace entrepreneurship as a path to freedom and independence.

My journey began as a teen feeling trapped and disempowered until I got my first job at 14. Earning my own money gave me self-respect and the drive to shape my future. At 16, I left home and quickly realised traditional jobs were too limiting. By 22, I started my first business and discovered that entrepreneurship wasn’t just a career—it was my calling. It gave me the freedom to pursue my passions and thrive as a nonconformist.

Over the years, I’ve built five successful businesses, including the award-winning Roses Tea Rooms, which earned national televised recognition and multiple prestigious accolades. I also authored Poppy’s Miracle, an Amazon bestseller offering hope to families navigating life with ADHD.

As a home-educating mother of three and foster mother of two, I’ve spent the past 13 years weaving entrepreneurship into our learning journey. Living with disabilities has shaped my life and taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of creating a lifestyle that aligns with my values. Through entrepreneurship, I’ve built a life that prioritises well-being, independence, and freedom—not just for myself but also for my children.

Today, I’m passionate about mentoring young entrepreneurs, helping them discover their potential and build lives of independence, resilience, and purpose. Through Young Entrepreneur Start-Ups and with my business partner and co founder of YES Richard Hart, I aim to inspire the next generation to embrace entrepreneurship and create a future without limits.

Richard Hart

Hi, I’m Richard, and I’m passionate about helping families and young people break free from traditional constraints to create lives full of freedom, flexibility, and purpose.

I live on the beautiful island of Cyprus with my wife Anna and our two children, Alex and Sofia, who are home-educated. My eldest daughter, Amy, lives in the UK.

My journey as an entrepreneur began nearly 20 years ago when I ran a successful event management business. However, like so many others, the pandemic brought that chapter to an abrupt end, forcing me to rethink everything.

Losing my only source of income overnight was a wake-up call. I realised that true financial security comes from having multiple income streams—especially when you’re raising a family and home-educating your children.

In 2021, I launched The Home School Freedom Club, an online community that now has over 4,000 home-educating parents. Through this group, I share tools, resources, and practical ways to earn an income from home.

I’m proud to have helped so many families reclaim their time, gain financial independence, and embrace a lifestyle that allows them to educate their children on their own terms.

I believe deeply in empowering teens and parents to forge their own paths. My own entrepreneurial journey has taught me the importance of independence and resilience, and I’m passionate about passing on these skills to others.

Today, I focus on equipping young people with the entrepreneurial mindset and tools they need to create a life of autonomy and financial freedom.

For me, entrepreneurship isn’t just about financial success; it’s about creating the life you want. Over the years, I’ve lived in three countries, spent months exploring Mexico with my family, and built a life that allows me to prioritise what truly matters.

As a home-educating parent, I value the freedom to be present with my family and nurture curiosity, independence, and creativity in my children.

I’m here to help families and young people unlock their potential, embrace new opportunities, and design lives they’re excited to wake up to every day.

If that resonates with you, feel free to connect with me on Facebook at the Facebook at Homeschool Freedom Club!
