With over 100 already signed up, Lexi plans to enroll at least 1,000 girls between the ages of 6 to 16, and teach them business-building skills, such as communication, goal setting, business management, money management, persuasiveness and dealing with rejection.

\"Some of the girls and their parents have told me how much this program has helped them with their self-esteem,\" said Lexi. \"They also feel empowered to follow their dreams and dream big, by being part of this movement. Some of the girls really look up to me and feel like they are connected because we are around the same age.\"

She continued, \"It makes me feel so good knowing I'm making an impact. If I help one girl dream big and chase her goals, I know I'm serving my purpose.\"

Lexi believes the free program will give other young entrepreneurs the tools, leadership tips and resources they need to go after what they want while also feeling prepared.

\"I would like girls around the world to know they should just go for it,\" she said. \"Just do it, girl!\"

\"Whatever dream you have, chase it and never give up,\" she added. \"Get out there and tell your parents, friends, family, anyone you trust, about your goals and don't be afraid to ask for help to make it happen.\"
