Raising Kids to Be Entrepreneurs
Thursday, July 29th, 2010
This video will resonate with a lot of domainers.
If you’re a domainer, you’re probably an entrepreneur. Maybe not a full time entrepreneur, but at least you take your future into your own hands.
Which is why I think you’ll appreciate this video from Cameron Herold speaking at a TEDxEdmonton. A warning: it’s 20 minutes long, so watch it when you want to take a break. But watch the whole thing, including the video at the end from Grasshopper.com.
I’ve been an entrepreneur since I could talk. Yet I feel that the American school system largely failed me. I did well, and even graduated college with a 4.0. But most of what I learned was wrote memorization with little practical use. It’s something I think about every day, especially with my daughter heading to kindergarten in a year.
Enjoy.
