Raising your Children to be Entrepreneurs
7 April 2010 in UncategorizedOur Featured Dad, Cameron Herold was recently featured on TED.com doing a presentation about how and why to raise your children to be entrepreneurs. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCar_sFfEf4&feature=youtube_gdata
One of the slides I liked had the following information: Teach Kids these skills-
1- Problem Solving
2- To Lead Others
3- To Want to Make Money
4- Public Speaking
5- To Ask Questions
6- To Learn from Mistakes
7- How to Sell
8- To Never Give Up
9- To be Creative
10- How to Save Money
11- To Ask for Help
12- To see Solutions
One of the things Cameron does with his kids is teach them to negotiate for their allowance, and look for ways to contribute and solve problems. Excellent advice! Don’t wait for handouts or learn to become dependent on the government. Be an entrepreneur, a person who solves problems and fill needs.
I like the idea of teaching our kids to be self-reliant. Empowering people will lead to our advancement. Don’t let your kids get groomed to be dependent on others. Whether it’s the system or parenting, often times kids are taught to be dependent. Entitlements and a victim mentality will lead to people being followers. DON’T be a follower, be a LEADER and teach your kids to be the same.

Thank you. Very cool video. I actually worked for his company, 1-800-got-junk when I was looking at franchising. I sent the video to my daughter, nieces and cousin’s kids. I 100% agree with everything he said (except cheating). Very inspiring.

the franchising business is actually good specially if the product for franchise is well known.’:-
Franchising business is good but some franchise needs some cold hard capital to start with.,,,
i am always afraid of public speaking during my high school years, it gave me nervous breakdown.:*”
