The Best Way to Raise a Young Entrepreneur via Gary Vaynerchuk
What are the Top 3 most effective actions parents can take right now to prepare children for entrepreneurship in the Thank You Economy?
A lot of this comes down to two main ideas: Reacting and forcing. Reacting is the first thing you need to be doing and what that means is giving them rope. If your child is selling Pokemon cards in school, or setting up a lemon-aid stand, or picking flowers and selling them, and they’re only 8 years old, all you need to do is react to the fact that they’re already entrepreneurs and give them a lot of rope. What I mean by that is freedom, support, acknowledgement and building up as much steam behind those actions as you can.
