Welcome to GreatCents!

My name is Blake Teichmeier and I am the creator of this organization and I am competing in the Big Idea Competition in Grand Island, NE.

The format of the competition is like the show, "Shark Tank", where I will have 2 minutes to give a pitch for why my business should receive the prize money. Here you can find the much more detailed plan for how my business will better Grand Island and from here the rest of the world.

My BIG IDEA!

I am going to publish a book series that will make a huge difference today and in the future.

It is called Galactic Galactic Growth and it is an adventure story that flys through the topics of Personal Finance and Social Emotional Learning.

The books connect with people because they line up our real experiences. Our minds and our money shapes how we experience life and caring for them is essential!

Each of the books are based on national standards.

Earning & Self-Awareness

Spending, Saving & Responsible Decision Making

Investing & Social Awareness

Credit & Relationship Skills

Risk & Self-Management

We owe it to our children and our community to learn the basics of how to manage our money and ourselves.
