Mom, I want to have my own business!

Mom, I want to have my own business.  These words are not the typical dinner conversaton one would expect  of a young child.  But  with more and more mommy entrepeneurs out there these words are becoming the norm.    When I started this business over two years ago, I started getting my kids involved with every aspect.   They would help me with ideas for the magazine, help deliver it,  and my oldest daughter soon became my assistant whenever I needed office work help.   I used to think, pick something that you can make a good living doing and work your butt off even though you may hate what you do.     These words are no longer spoken in my home.  The new Motto is find something that you have a passion for and figure out a way to make money doing it.  My 14 year old has recently found a passion for photography, and has asked me to get her logo made.  The fact that she knows what a logo is makes me proud.   I have such a feeling of graditude in what I do, and I can honestly say I love every aspect of owning my own business.   As parents, we get so busy that we tend to brush off when the kids come up with things or ways to make money.  Maybe, we should listen, maybe they have something. After all aren’t they the ones who makes us buy things afterall. ?    I have instilled values in my kids that I feel are far greater than the words I used to speak.  My hope is that they all find their passion in life, and I will be their to help guide them every step of the way.    What’s your passion?
