Is Your Kid the Next Steve Jobs?
Our country is at a crossroads.
Some of our capable kids will jump on the entitlement bandwagon and let the government (i.e., the taxpaying producers) take care of them through the welfare and unemployment systems. The rest of the kids will take their future in their own hands and learn to become producers themselves, like Steve Jobs was.
Which one will your kids be?
In a brand new book from Dr. Jerry L. Cook and his wife Sarah L. Cook called “The Parents’ Guide to Raising CEO Kids,” they give kids and their parents a ton of great tips and ideas about how to start and run their own businesses. It helps us encourage our kids to take their fate in their own hands.
Their son started his own e-Bay business at the ripe old age of 10 and the Cooks discovered they didn’t know a lot about how a kid can have a business. This book helps give parents a much better understanding of how it all works, right out of the gate.
The book contains over 150 interviews with young entrepreneurs and their families that help people get going on their own business endeavor. Their experience will help you and your family learn from their mistakes and maybe get your child’s business rolling quicker.
Through the 4 pillars of success – vision, action, attitude and outcome – the book will inspire parents and kids alike to have the right mindset and action plan going into their business so they have the best outcome – success for the business.
The website has over 20 reviews from parents and business people about the book. Melinda F. Emerson, author of Become Your Own Boss in 12 Months” says “’The Parents’ Guide to Raising CEO Kids’ is perfect for training the next generation of entrepreneurs.”
Summer is right around the corner – what business can your child get going to make some pocket money or start on his or her own future Apple? Will he or she be the next Steve Jobs? Who knows but with the Cooks’ book, they’ll certainly get some good experience. Check it out at http://raisingceokids.com/books/.
