How Can Entrepreneurship Help Your Daughter Build Self Confidence?

Has your daughter ever sold anything and realized how it can help her gain self confidence?

  • Maybe she is a Girl Scout and she sold Girl Scout cookies?
  • Or she participated in a car wash or another school fundraising activity?

I am not talking about when YOU brought the forms into your job.  You remembered every colleague who asked you to participate in their kid’s wrapping paper fundraiser.  So, you returned the favor.  LOL.

Remember a time when SHE sold.

  • She talked about why this was  important
  • She introduced herself to another adult – besides a family member – and caught their attention.
  • And she convinced them to say yes.

If your daughter has not engaged in this activity, I encourage you to get her involved in an entrepreneurship program.  It is an amazing opportunity to learn how to communicate the following:

  • Presenting an idea so others are interested
  • Hearing no and handling objections
  • Gaining confidence when someone is interested and believes in her idea
