Raising Kids To Be Entrepreneurs
Our education system moulds our kids to adhere to the social norm of getting a job. Yet what about fostering their unique entrepreneurial talents? Wouldn’t you like to raise your child to have the self confidence to persue their dreams and determine their own pay cheque? Then let’s nurture their entrepreneurship.
When I was growing up my father was a State Manager in a big printing company. Long hours and being ‘married to the job’ took him away from us as a family. When he was thirty-five years of age he quit his position to save his marriage.
From that day forward he never worked in a job in the same way ever again. He worked for himself or in partnership with others, running various businesses and trying his hand at property investing. Some failed, some succeeded. My dad never went to business college or learned marketing and his lack of financial and marketing education was a hindrance to greater success in his business. He never became a squillionaire owner of a mega corporation – he never even earned a million dollars from his businesses, however one thing he succeeded in was in passing on an entrepreneurial spirit to his daughter – me.
When Robert Kiyosaki’s ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ was published it was a revelation for me. I made a commitment to embark on a journey of entrepreneurship and financial self education. Furthermore I made a commitment to foster an entrepreneurial spirit in my own children and to provide them with the financial literacy neither my father or myself were privileged enough to be given growing up.
Today I saw this video by acclaimed public speaker and entrepreneur Cameron Herold and was so impressed with what he said. His message is heartfelt and inspiring and I encourage you to watch it both for yourselves and for the sake of your kids.
And if you are finding your own entrepreneurial feet and want to teach your children to be financially literate, masters of their own destinies…
If you want a platform that can take you from where you are now financially to where you want to be… then click here and make a commitment to your futures and the future of you children.
