Raising Entrepreneurs: 9 Practical Principles for Raising Your Kids to Become Entrepreneurs - Paperback

by Danny Silk (Foreword by), Chrissa Unterberger (Editor), Eric Knopf (Author)

What determines whether someone will become an entrepreneur? Contrary to popular belief, an entrepreneur needs neither innate genius nor extreme grit to succeed. The secret is found in childhood experiences that can be created and fostered by parents.

Parents hold the keys to creating the entrepreneurial spirit within their kids that will influence them to become entrepreneurs one day.

This book is about how you can create an entrepreneurial spirit in your kids by raising them with specific experiences and teaching them certain formative principles and lessons.

The 9 foundational principles outlined in this book are meant to be practical and applicable. Each principle includes easy-to-implement action items and replicable experiences to try at home with your kids.

Do you want to raise your kids to have a different, more empowered view of the world? Regardless of their future career path, do you want them to grow up to be creative, hard-working, and resilient? Raising entrepreneurial kids is not about prescribing a career path or pressuring your kids into leadership roles; it's about creating an entrepreneurial spirit through intentional experiences.

The author, Eric Knopf, is a parent of two kids and a co-founder of a successful tech company. He shares why the experience of growing up on a farm in Oregon equipped him to become a full-time entrepreneur fresh out of college. In addition, he shares the 9 practical principles that formed the entrepreneurial spirit that still drives him today, as well as plenty of present-day anecdotes and insights from parenting his kids.
