As an entrepreneur, I have learned that there is power in loving and giving back to our communities. Not only does it feel inherently good and rewarding, but it can also help our businesses grow and thrive. For me, my love for my hometown of Houston, Texas, has been a cornerstone of my success.
My company, Ameritex Movers, has chosen to channel our love for the local community by engaging with kids and sparking their ingenuity. We believe that by investing in young minds, we can make a positive impact that will last for years to come. Over the years, we have cultivated relationships with some of the school districts in Houston and the Children’s Museum to bring activities that enrich kids’ lives and help them learn and grow.
Our team recently spearheaded two learning workshops in collaboration with the Children’s Museum of Houston. The first event challenged kids to use their engineering skills to build cardboard robots we call “BoxBots,” while the second event allowed them to design dresses and superhero costumes inspired by our “Cardboard Couture” dress line made from materials like cardboard and bubble wrap.
Both events offered great learning experiences for kids, helping them use their imagination in innovative ways. They also reflected our core purpose of “Humans Helping Humans” and introduced young minds to endless possibilities while allowing their imaginations to soar. We believe that even if we sparked one child to dream big – to become an engineer, architect, or fashion designer – through these activities, we made a positive impact in the lives of others.
Mindset is everything. These types of workshops not only allow us to be involved with the community but also allow the kiddos an outlet for releasing tension and anxiety, which ties into our company’s culture to create a stress-free experience. Whether it’s moving, packing, or building robots and dresses made of cardboard, we believe life should be fun and carefree.
It should be a goal for all entrepreneurs to look for ways to give back to their communities as they continue building their businesses. Find something you are passionate about and lean into your creativity to find a fulfilling way to love your community. There is so much power in doing so. Afterward, we guarantee you will feel grateful to have played a small role in making a big difference.
As entrepreneurs and as leaders in our communities, we have the power to influence others to give back to make a positive impact in the lives of others. By investing in young minds and inspiring them to “Think Outside the Box,” we can create a better future for everyone.
