Growing Up Trump

One thing entrepreneurial parents
often debate is
whether or not
to make their children work in the business.

Eric Trump*,
one of Donald Trump’s sons,
shares

“One thing I can say
about our father is
he always made us work.
Donnie and I were cutting down trees
and mowing lawns,
you name it.
It made us really understand
the value of a dollar
but also stay out of trouble,
because we were so tired
at the end of the day!”

My mom would say something similar.
If parents don’t give their kids
something to do,
their kids will FIND something to do
and that something might not be
what parents want.

Consider involving your children
in your business.
