27 million or 51% percent of Americans are starting or running a business. Your child may already be in that percentage.
Are you aware that “recent research clearly indicates that in some cases, environment triggers genetic tendencies, certain situations trigger genes that would otherwise lie dormant”? James V. Koch
It is very important to know your child, see their strengths and help them develop those strengths. How Am I Smart?, or the updated version, 8 Great Smarts by Kathy Koch was so helpful to me in learning how to find these strengths in my children.
According to multiple studies, there may be an "entrepreneur gene"--or possibly people with certain genetic characteristics and personality traits that are more likely to be successful entrepreneurs than others. They have been “hard-wired” that way.
As your child grows, learns, and develops you may spot many of the characteristics that entrepreneurs have in common.

One of the many perks to homeschooling is the extra time that your children have available to pursue their passions. Helping them find their giftings and equipping them to be successful in using their skill sets is a blessing that we as parents have been given. Learn how to spot an entrepreneurial mindset in your child and help him refine these skills so he can soar into adulthood with the tools needed to be his own boss.
What interested your entrepreneurial child most right now? How are you helping develop his or her skills? I'd love to find out. Comment below.

I recently heard that the #1 skill a child should have before they leave home is how to sell. Whether they go on to become a entrepreneur or choose a different path. These selling skills will benefit them.
Homeschooling provides a unique environment that nurtures well-rounded, resilient individuals ready to thrive in today's every changing world. It also allows you to hone in on your child's specific skills that will prepare them to use their strengths in life and career.
