My name
is Bobbi Lawrence, president and owner of Pocket Change Inc. Three
years ago, my company was not even a consideration. This is my story.
When I learned that twins were
going to be born into the family, I began to wonder what is needed,
that did not yet exist in Canada that our Canadian children could
truly benefit from. Something that would make a positive and permanent
difference in their lives! For a number of months, I brainstormed
with the mother-to-be while listening, reading and searching the
net for some clue that might spark an idea of what to do. Finally,
it was a “one liner” that I had heard on a Canadian
radio news broadcast about the high rate of debt that our Canadian
youth are carrying today, that hit home with me. After more brainstorming
and more research, I believed that I had found the right path to
follow. It very quickly became a passion of mine and I proceeded
with creating a business plan – a plan to create learning
tools for children residing in Canada. I chose a business name,
created products and gave these products appropriate names –
fitting to the principles that I had already realized for Pocket
Change Inc. |

I immediately began a 24-7 working schedule
and created learning tools to help children, living in Canada, learn
about Canadian money values. I wanted children to be able to realize
their dreams without a cloud of debt looming over their heads. What
better way, I asked myself, than to create Canadian learning tools
for this purpose? Family and friends liked the ideas that I had
presented to them and very soon began volunteering their services
to my new company, Pocket Change Inc. I could not have done this
without their continuous, relentless, energetic, and intellectual
assistance and support.
I have since created Canadian
learning tools, designed to teach children, residing in Canada,
about Canadian money values. My long-term goal is to have the Pocket
Change Organizer and all of our learning tools, used by all children
– youth and adults - residing in Canada.
WE BELIEVE IN A BETTER
FINANCIAL FUTURE FOR EVERYONE! |
