Young Entrepreneurs and Remote Controls
Now that I am a widow I have found that one of the perks of living alone is being in charge of the remote control….well, at least until recently. Blanche and I seem to be fighting for it now. Blanche wants to chew it and I want to change the channels.
I leave my chair for just a few minutes and when I return…its gone. Now what I cannot understand is that someone (Blanche) who cannot seem to grasp the concept of pooping outside can grasp the concept that she only has a few minutes to hide the remote control before I return to my chair and manage to have the blank “huh?” look on her face.
Kids and dogs are really good at grasping concepts. Both are very clever and I think we underestimate the ability of both. Obviously, dogs are not opening chains of stores or inventing e-businesses, but kids are. It’s amazing how many kids and teens or young entrepreneurs are becoming wealthy through their creativity.
Kids have great ideas, but in most instances they have no idea what to do with them because they are not taught business skills in school nor are they encouraged by their parents to pursue their ideas because of their age. They are unintentionally being done an injustice.
Kids should start building a basic knowledge or foundation of business skills at an early age and the earlier, the better. Blanche is already on her way to becoming a young entrepreneur and if she only had thumbs she’d probably be making a remote control for herself.
