A few weeks ago, I watched a video with über blogger and video blogger Gary Vaynerchuk who explained that while in high school he was selling sports cards at a weekend fair and was making $2,000 a week (he was making far more money than the teachers in his school and I’m sure he was making far more than the Principle)!
I became an entrepreneur much later in life and wish I had had the courage to have started earlier.
I come from a family of doctors, engineers and medical researchers and honestly being an entrepreneur in my family is like telling them I’ve dyed the skin on my entire body purple. It’s so foreign to them that to this day no one really understands what I do for a living because it’s not related to a “traditional” profession.
I don’t think we were all born to climb the corporate ladder and with the economy changing the way it has since October 2008, it’s clear that having a University degree (or two like I have) is surely not a guarantee of job satisfaction or having a job for life for that matter.
There was once a time when having a University degree guaranteed high pays and job security, but we all know now that the rules of the game have dramatically changed.
I think that fostering the entrepreneurs in kids is so important because some kids should not even think of wasting time in University. They should jump right into their careers, become successful and then if they decide, they can go back to University.
People like Oprah did exactly that and people like Bill Gates never even finished University, yet they are both super successful, super fulfilled and super rich!
If you don’t know how to introduce your kids to the concept of entrepreneurship, I’ve found a great book that is devoted to bringing out the Donald Trump in your kids.
