Never Tell Your Child They Are Smart

I, like many parents, have an innate fear that I will screw up my child in some way. One day, I will say that one thing that completely screws them up. I will be having a bad day, my patience will be low and BAM. It will fly out of my mouth and I will never be able to take it back. Their confidence will plumit, they will throw it back at me when they are 18 and angry at me, and any sadness they have, I know it will because I failed them that day. 

Well, that may happen, but I have something significantly more scary to share with you.

This KidPreneur Has More Ingenuity Than Most Adult-Preneurs

Over the years consulting with assorted businesses owners, understanding that success is in their hands is one they want to believe int he good times, but when it get’s tough, their commentary can change to all sorts of justifying or complaining. My competitor is poaching my clients. Customers don’t understand why my products are so good. The stores wont return my calls and buy my product. My Sales Reps wont do what I tell them to. 

And the list goes on

Meet Alex – Our Crypto Specialist

All kids are naturally curious. We were as children, our friends were, our own kids are, but somewhere between the over/improper use of iPads and the instant gratification we receive daily in our lives, many students have had a large decrease in their patience and are unwilling to take the time to learn something that can’t be instantly acquired, even with YouTube’s help. When a child loses their patience, they are robbed of their curiosity to learn and the ability to feel that incredible sensation we all get when we understand something new; Excitement!
