You’ve taken the huge leap into becoming an entrepreneur and including your family has been a large part of this journey. Fostering the entrepreneurial interests of our kids seems to naturally go hand-in-hand with running your own business.
So, you know you have a budding young entrepreneur in the family when…

Omgosh, so cute! This def falls under the cliche of “out of the mouth of babes”. When my son was in 4th grade — the school he went to only went to 5th grade — and I was working in corporate America — he thought that he had to find a job after 5th grade and asked me if I thought my bosses would hire him!
That is so cute! 5 years of school and you’re out on your own!
You can imagine that my friends and family got some pretty good laughs out of that!
I love it! My son last year in 7th grade left me a note in my office that said to read the ad he had pulled up on Facebook for me on my computer. It was an ad with a mom-preneur who makes $6656 a month posting. My son told me it was free and we needed to do this. He promised to do the work!
I then called him over so we could look at the fine print together….things like 7 days free…$129 billing, and $69 a month…testimonials are non-fiction (we talked about the fine print and what non-fiction testimonials mean!)
Thanks for sharing!
