How To Raise Your Kids As Entrepreneurs
I watched a terrific TEDx video from Edmonton where entrepreneur Cameron Herold shares his advice to parents around the world for raising your kids with entrepreneurial thinking. He himself did not do too well in school and was left questioning at a very young age; "why are our kids raised in this manner?".
Cameron Herold has very pragmatic advice for parents and other viewers alike. For example, instead of giving children weekly allowances, which in his opinion teaches the kids that incoming money is taken for granted, he tells his kids to go around the house and look for things that need improving. Once the kids notice something that can be done better, they come back to their father and start negotiating on the price for that job. This way they'll always have to realise the opportunities, defend their point of view why it needs improvement and create the setting for a small project. Fantastic!
The video is about 20 minutes in length and highly recommended. Get yourself a nice cup of coffee or tea and take 20 minutes from your afternoon to watch this video - it's well worth it.
That's a very important question and I guess the present generation would want to have that answered. Almost everyone around me had been raised with a common thought - Get a Job and get it done and having business was something Kingly - a thing that a person belonging to a middle class could never think of. But with so many ways to implement this and so many more thinking [at least] the Entrepreneur way, it might just be easy.
I am sorry I couldn't watch the video, thanks to our IT Department that has blocked all video sites. Would watch it for sure. Thanks
I think this is hilarious (while of course has a point also).
I have seen similar videos earlier on "How to raise your kid to become an NHL player?"
Wonder how many of those actually made it? ;-)
This is great video! I stumbled across this a week or so ago for the first time. Two thumbs up!
I think in times like these we really need more people with great ideas to become entrepreneurs. That's why I also wrote a text to the branding committees page. Please, have look and leave a comment: http://www.mitasuomion.fi/fin/Paivan-mielipide
