It’s never too early to nourish the entrepreneurial spirit in your kids. You can easily build excitement and motivation in your child by sharing your own journey as well as stories of successful young entrepreneurs.
What are your children’s passions? Sit down together and make a list of their strengths and interests, then brainstorm some ways they could transform one of those ideas into a viable business. For example, Mikaila Ulmer from Austin, Texas, was afraid of bees, but after being stung twice in a single week, she conquered her fear by learning how honeybees help the planet. Her newfound appreciation for those helpful pollinators inspired her to create Me & the Bees Lemonade—a blend of her great-grandmother’s flaxseed lemonade recipe with a touch of honey.
