Josie Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Please tell me what you think of Vision forum's The Complete Entrepreneurial Bootcamp Collection (10 DVDs and 20 CDs). If you have used or seen it I would appreciate a review. Would it be appropriate for girls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly IN Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 To answer your question about girls... First of all I have to say I never seen or heard this series. I know about it but never watched or listen to them. I imagine girls would benefit a lot from it from a business standppoint but Vision Forum tend to lean more of the area where girls/women are to stay home or not partake business venture. Just the gist I get from reading some of the books they promote. Hubby do not agree with their views on women so told me not to read their books on women or family. I said all that to say that they may say something about girls/women in the videos. Something that might discourage your daughter. Hopefully others will chime in and let us know if that is the case or not. Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca VA Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 From what I know of VF (though I haven't listened to the Entrepreneurial Workshop), girls and women would work within a family context. Actually boys and men would work within a family context as well. So you would have "Smith Family Plumbing" rather than "Susie Smith Plumbing." Also, boys and men would be the "point people" in the enterprise; girls and women would work more behind the scenes. Not hidden away really, but it would be the guys who would really be out there hustling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly IN Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Rebecca confirmed it for me.

Laurie4b Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I think the first thing you have to decide is whether you agree with the overall values and philosophy. I agree with Rebecca that the general philosophy in VF is that families should have their own businesses and girls are definitely aiming at being both mothers and women who can help their husbands with the family business. Additionally, there is de-emphasis on college because it's thought to be worldly and not to make economic sense if you can start your own business anyway. (Have not heard the CD's, just basing this on general knowledge of VF's philosophy.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bassoon Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Holly - Prof. Michael Licata has not only an Accounting course, but an Entrepreneurship course as well - both are high school credit-worthy. (Says the mom whose daughter is a big-time entrepreneur!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The girls who don't get married work in their father's family business. I guess when he dies, someone else within the community takes them in? Or maybe they then run it themselves? (Not sure this philosophy has run enough years to run into that scenario too often.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I have a real problem with a lot of the viewpoints from Vision Forum so we refuse to use any of their products. The founding family has been involved in some very controversial, rather sickening church practices such as shunning. I find their views to be actually anti-Biblical and oppressive. So, I'd have to be suspect about the subtle messages in an educational product from that company. Hopefully, someone here has actually perused the product and will have an actual review.

Josie Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Thank you for chiming in on the Vision Forum program. I will check out Prof. Licata's course.
