Raise successful, fulfilled kids by avoiding this big mistake | Podcast Episode 247

Today's show dives into something difficult to imagine, when your kids are so young and your focus is on stuff like temper tantrums, sibling fights, and picky eaters. We can wonder, what miracle will occur, just in the next decade or so, to change my kid from being so young and helpless, to someone who can lead a successful, fulfilled, and happy life? Today, I'm beginning a deep dive into the idea of raising successful and fulfilled kids. The idea was born years ago, when friends would lament the idea of the lack of business and entrepreneurship education in K-12 school. Then several months ago it crystallized, when a friend, thinking he was motivating his child, changed his boy's internally-motivated entrepreneurial activity to one with strings attached (the boy wouldn't get his weekly allowance unless he worked on this previously for-fun, now parent mandated business activity.) Today I share how you can avoid making this mistake. Because it IS a huge mistake – and the repercussions can ripple out over your child's entire adult life. This is one we really need to get right, so listen in and find out how.
