Ep. 30 | How I’m Building Entrepreneurial Minded Children

And You Can Too!

filed in:

Teaching Entrepreneurial Minded Kids

On the Podcast, I’m sharing about how I am fostering a learning environment for my children: both in the school that we started but also at home in our day to day lives. 


My goal is to build entrepreneurial minded children… which may seem crazy when my oldest is only 6 years old BUT my hope is that this episode will show you that it IS possible and give you a few practical tips on how you can instill these mindsets in your own children.

 

I have zero expectations that my children have to be entrepreneurs but the AMAZING character traits of an entrepreneur, I think, will benefit a child even if they don’t grow up to own their own business! 

 

Acton Academy West End

The school that we started called Acton Academy West End gives learners a space to put their gifts and talents into practice. Each year the learners host a Children’s Business Fair and each of them have been working hard to create a product or service that they will sell to others! They have been learning the ins and outs of selling a product, paying for materials, determining how much to charge and so much more!

 

I am so passionate about this that I would love for you to really listen to this podcast on how we have done this with our own children..even at six years old!

As a photographer, I’ve often found myself in situations where the location seemed lackluster or uninspiring. It’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of the perfect setting, but the reality is that we don’t always have the luxury of shooting in the most visually stunning locations.

The Smith Family Pharsalia Farm Family Portrait

We rescheduled this shoot with the Smith family once because of a threat of rain. It wasn’t a totally horrible forecast but if there’s one thing that I learned about Colleen when I photographed her wedding, it’s that she loves the GLOW!
