When our eight-year-old, Timmy, wants money for something special that we won’t buy for him, his common response is something like “I really need to start a business to make money.” He’s not saying he needs a job; he’s not suggesting we give him money; he’s explaining to us he wants to be an entrepreneur! He feels that way because he wants to make his own decisions and loves the idea of bringing his ideas to life. That mentality comes in large part from the way he is being raised and his life experiences to date. Timmy takes the lead from his parents and grandparents, all of whom are entrepreneurs - kids are the product of their environment. But even without those types of influences, there is still a lot that you can do to expose your kids to the entrepreneurial mindset.
