I started my childcare business in my home when my daughter was only three and my son was six years old. I am still sharing my business journey with my children. In fact, we decided that this summer my daughter would spend 3-days a week at my childcare center with me. She helps with the children, food service, housekeeping and even goes with me on my weekly business errands.
Now my son (20 years old), prefers to do maintenance work, he does not want to help with the children. He prefers to help keep up the outer appearance of the building including; washing the van, sweeping the parking lot or helping to wax floors when needed.
I was inspired to write this blog post, because I recently caught a glimpse of my daughter (15 years old) watching me while I was reading email several days ago. I thought to myself, wow my daughter gets to experience what it is like to operate a business and I am excited to be the one to teach her.
It is my goal to continue to show my children how to operate a business and my dream is that they would be successful business owners someday. Do you have children? If so, I hope that you are planting seeds of entrepreneurship in your children at an early age by inolving your children in your business endeavors.
Ways to Share Your Business Journey With your Children:
- Take your teenagers to networking events with you
- Place entrepreneur books and magazines where your children can see them
- Ask your children for their business advice
- Invite them to open your business mail or file in the office
- If you work online, invite your child to watch you work the internet!
With Family and Business in Mind,
