Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in training and education but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Michelle Bowen, Co-Founder of Acton Leadership Academy, located in Houston, TX, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

We empower children and strengthen families in a unique school environment. We believe that every child is a genius and deserves to find their calling and change the world. Parents who are out-of-the-box thinkers, optimists, and dreamers love Acton Leadership Academy.

Tell us about yourself

Empowering children with the skills they need to thrive and lead in a work world that doesn’t exist yet is exhilarating! Children are far more capable than we imagine— seeing them learn and grow in uninhibited ways every day drives me to continue to spread the mission of this kind of education.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Imagine a world where children everywhere learn to lead through daily experience in school— we are seeing this vision emerge with two thriving school communities that serve 100+ children and their parents. Additionally, our campuses serve as leaders and examples in the worldwide movement toward learner-driven education.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

Serving both children and parents as they come to learn about an entirely new way of living. Each family needs individual support and resources so that they can make the most of their Acton experience.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

Find your deep, abiding inner purpose. When you connect this with your business, you are able to reach people at a deeper level and be fueled through the hard times.
