06 Mar Requiring logical and structured arguments

Posted at 19:09h in Blog by

Michael Greenberg, from Call For Content, describes how his competitive family had an unintentional impact in his entrepreneurial upbringing.

“My parents raised us with entrepreneurship deeply embedded, unintentionally. […] We had to earn our money growing up and were encouraged to run side hustles like shovelling driveways or selling candy at school in order to buy things like video games if desired. 

“We were drilled to bring logical and structured arguments to our father if we wanted to convince him, and we negotiated with him for all sorts of stuff. We’re a highly competitive family. If we’re sitting around somewhere like a restaurant, we’ll start breaking down the margins and income for the staff and overall business.”

How logical and structured are the arguments put forward in your family? It’s certainly an interesting requirement, one that we imagine would quickly develop those skills.

 

 

 



  • I am a huge advocate of the entrepreneurial messages and characteristics that you are driving. I think it is a fantastic idea to instil the idea of entrepreneurship into children from a young age. This is a great way to open children up to the idea of not always following conventional paths and giving them the belief and confidence to pursue their own creative business ideas.

  • The Clever Tykes series are such a wonderful way to introduce ‘enterprise’ to children from a young age – I can’t recommend them highly enough, and strongly urge parents to read along with their child as there is no doubt the stories will stimulate lots of questions and interest!

  • I found Walk-it Willow easy to read and full of lovely messages that children can take from it. It touched on taking responsibility, problem solving, admitting mistakes and also the work it takes to run a small business. Willow is entertaining but very human. A lovely story.
