***<\/p>\n

If you own your own business, it\u2019s a great idea to hire your own kids and test their ability to handle responsibility.\u00a0But even if you\u2019re kids aren\u2019t ready to be put to work, entrepreneurial parents can teach kids a lot more than just the in’s and out’s of their own business.\u00a0Mom of three\u00a0Kendra Doersam, founder of No Sweat Life<\/a>, a line of active lifestyle products, says her children (ages 2, 4 and 6) have acquired a number of life lessons as a result of her entrepreneurial lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Being an entrepreneur can give parents access to powerful teaching moments to impart all sorts of important life lessons and skills.<\/p>\n

Adaptability.<\/h2>\n

Entrepreneurs need to be able to juggle various aspects of life and business and wear many different hats throughout the day. Doersam says this is a skill she\u2019s tried to impart on her own children. \u201cI expose my kids to a variety of people and languages and environments and I expect them to adapt,\u201d she says. While most children interact the same way with others regardless who they\u2019re interacting with, Doersam says her middle child especially\u00a0has shown an ability to interact differently with different adults. \u201cHe is attentive to clues of where that person is coming from and adjusts his response accordingly,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Independence.<\/h2>\n

Being an entrepreneur is the ultimate test of independence. \u201cAs an entrepreneur, you\u2019re the only person responsible for your successes or failures,\u201d says Doersam. Her kids have picked up on the self-confidence it takes to be able to put their foot forward. \u201cThe kids have no qualms about entering a new environment like a school. The older ones will tell the younger ones \u2018everyone is nervous, just say hi and ask if someone wants to play,’\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Perseverance.<\/h2>\n

Every entrepreneur goes through highs and lows and must push through. Although her kids are too young for Doersam to share all of her successes and failures, she says she has sought to show her kids how to push through difficult situations through participation in sports, something aligned with her brand. Not giving up is part of succeeding in sport, just as in business.<\/p>\n
