Do you look at your children and want more for them than
living paycheck to paycheck? What does it take to raise
kids to have the entrepreneurial spirit? Here are 10 steps
to raise a leader.
1) START EARLY. Have conversations with your children
about what is exciting to them. What sort of things are
they interested in? Develop their genius at an early age by
finding out what they are passionate about.
2) TALK ABOUT VALUES. Discuss with your kids what's
important in life. You'll be encouraged by what values they
already know: share, give someone else a turn, play fair,
listen. When you have all of their values, write them down
on a board. Your kids have just described their corporate
values.
3) WHAT LEADERSHIP STYLE DOES YOUR CHILD HAVE. Whether
you think so or not, every child is a leader. Some are more
natural and others are developed. Use your individual
child's assets to build their leadership platform.
4) TRY SOME THINGS OUT. Encourage your children to try
different things out. It will take some trial and error to
find a plan or product that throws them into
entrepreneurship.
5) ASK SOME BUSINESS QUESTIONS. Once you've decided on a
product, where do you go from there? Ask your kids to think
through the next steps. What materials are needed? What
about inventory? Where will your products come from
(suppliers and vendors)? How will you pay for these
products (raising capital and managing budgets)?
6) DEVISE A BUSINESS PLAN. Have your kids write a one to
two page plan that answers some vital questions: What
business are they in? Who will their customers be? How will
the customers find out about their company? How am I
different? By defining specifics about their product,
customers, and competition, your kids will learn more about
their strengths.
7) SOUND THE ALARMS. Develop a marketing plan with your
kids. Get them involved in the sales. Let them feel as if
there are no limits.
8) MAKE A COMMERCIAL. Your kids watch TV and they are
fully aware what commercials are. They know how to sell. So
get the camcorder rolling and film a video commercial.
Whether or not you use it is of little importance. It's a
fun sales technique for your kids and also builds their
confidence.
9) UTILIZE THE INTERNET. Kids are very internet savvy
these days. They learn how to be online at a young age.
Help them build a website, send out press releases
announcing their new company, and teach them internet
marketing strategies.
10) GIVE BACK. Teach you kids about social responsibility
and how they envision themselves giving back. Discuss
things such as whether they give a percentage of sales from
their business to charity or volunteer their free time.
This is ultimately what is the most important thing:
Developing a good human being.
