Last weekend, we organized a cafe on the island we live on. Most of the job was made by our three kids (9, 12 and 14)
One of the over 100 guests that came to our island asked me: ”Why do you open up your home like this?” I replied: ”It’s a great way to introduce the idea of entrepreneurship to our kids.”
They got to learn about planning, selling, customer service, and calculating profit, pricing etc.
And they loved it! I am convinced the chances of them becoming entrepreneurs in the future increased by a fair amount because they got to experience “running a café.”
Taking deliberate steps to try to inspire creativity and entrepreneurial thinking in others is a gift more people should be gifting.
