What Will My Child Learn From Entrepreneurship?
That is what this program is about. It doesn’t matter if your child becomes an entrepreneur when they grow up. That’s not the point. The point is the give them the space to make decisions that impact, for better or worse, something they care about. Something they are calling the shots on and taking full ownership of. This is life. We are just exposing them to it a little earlier in a safe environment rather than thrusting them into it after high school graduation when real debt and consequences can be more significant.
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
