Growing up dirt poor,
my siblings and I
were entrepreneurs by default.
If we wanted to buy something,
we had to raise money for it
and when you’re 8 years old,
no one is hiring you.
We had to create
our own businesses.
And this was awesome
because I have NEVER worried
about not having a job.
I look around me today
and I see thousands of ways
to make money.
Teaching your kids
to think like entrepreneurs
is a gift.
JJ Ramberg
shares one idea
(but the entire article
is well worth reading)
“Bring home
three cereal boxes
and ask your kids
what they like about each box.
Have them talk through the design,
the information written
on the package,
the logo
and anything else they notice.
Then, ask them
which one they like best
and why.
This helps them
start to think
about the best way
to convey information
about a product.”
And, of course,
if appropriate,
involve them in little ways
with your own business.
Give your kids
the gift of
entrepreneurial thinking.
