Entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk all share similar characteristics that have led to their remarkable success, among them are vision, drive, creativity, and confidence. It is those qualities that have not only made them household names but have acted as inspiration for legions of subsequent entrepreneurs around the world.

That entrepreneurial mindset is what author and entrepreneur Brian Weisfeld believes we need to impart on the next generation, empowering them to achieve greatness no matter what path they pursue. He believes that many of the qualities entrepreneurs possess, including their grit, adoption of a growth mindset, comfort with risk, and their ability to see problems as opportunities are all qualities that will help children thrive, not just in school or their future careers but throughout their lives. In fact, he believes that embracing the entrepreneurial mindset is so critical that he has made it his personal mission to help parents and youth leaders pass it on to their children and students.

During this dynamic session, Brian provides inspiration for parents to take everyday moments with their children and infuse them with meaning and purpose. He also help us rethink everything from the conversations we have with our children at the dinner table, to the activities they are involved with outside of school.  As we jumpstart a new year, we hope you will learn more about the importance of instilling an entrepreneurial mindset in our children.
