Raise an entrepreneur by telling your daughter you love her

I know it sounds too simple.

Tell your daughter that you love her and she’ll could be a world class entrepreneur?

Consider this idea – having a positive self esteem is directly related to being a successful entrepreneur.  It leads to success in any career path you choose.  A positive sense of self allows you to deal with the good, bad, and in between – and bounce back when it doesn’t work out the way you originally planned.

What happens when your daughter  knows that she is loved?

  • She’ll hear “no” when she’s selling and go find another prospect – instead of crawling up in the corner and never trying it again
  • She’ll ask confidently for what she wants.  The first time.  No hesitations.
  • She won’t desire perfection and go crazy trying to do it “right”.  People who focus on doing it right often don’t do it at all …because they are too busy asking why or questioning rather than taking the risk and diving in.
  • And she won’t even begin to consider the “victim” mentality that plagues many women entrepreneurs and professionals who are not certain that they are worthy enough to own and run a successful and profitable business

You are the perfect mentor to share this wisdom.  You get the set the stage for her future career.  Tell her that you genuinely love her.  Tell her regularly and positively.  Share it in a way that is real and comfortable to you.

And yes, this means that you’ve got to have that positive self esteem in your own self first before you can “gift” it to your daughter.  So whip out some self-help books, cozy up to a few friends who never let you think anyway except “up” and find out how you can walk in this path as well.

Imagine what you might just create for your daughter?!!

Start a Personalized Valentine’s Day Card Business with your Daughter

Start a Personalized Valentine’s Day Card Business with your Daughter

Turn your daughter's creativity into a business for Valentine's Day

Start a personalized Valentine’s Day card business

Is your daughter an artist? Does she enjoy drawing, painting, or spending time on Instagram ?  Maybe she has a way with words wherein you can use her talent to start a new business.  Consider starting a personalized Valentine’s Day card business to harness her creativity.

You can put that talent to work!  Create a Mommy & Daughter greeting card business for the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday.  It’s the perfect business to start.  Low cost.  Easy to spread the word.  Available only for a limited time.  (Yess!  You don’t have to stuck for a year if you don’t like this business).  And you can both spend some quality time and earn money!

Here are three steps to get started:

1. Create a few samples

Don’t be shy about being creative or unique.  You want to start a personalized Valentines Day card business that stands out.  A good option could be choosing visuals with specific cultural or geographic messages.  For example, I often spend more money on cards that have a New York style of humor – ie keeping it real – rather than a generic bland message.

Also pay attention to the packaging.  Create customized envelopes so that the card and the packaging stand out.  People will be more likely d to purchase your cards if they stand out from traditional options.

2. Create flyers with an order deadline

There are a ton of options that can help you design flyers.  I’ve used Vistaprint and Staples to design and print options for my company.

Use the samples as part of your marketing. Include some snappy titles and clear instructions for how to order.  For example, should they email you or call you?  I would encourage you to create a short one page website to make the buying process easy if you have friends and family who are out of town

Quick tip – Use color paper rather than printing in color if your budget is minimal.

3. Offer bonuses for those who orders three or more cards

Can they get one card free if they order five or more before a certain deadline?  Can they get free customization if they buy one of your premier cards before a certain date?  Get creative and think about ways to encourage buyers to say yes quickly.  It will allow you to better process orders and not deal as much with last minute buyers.

So I hope that these ideas give you some brainstorms for getting started.  Share any visuals of cards that you create in the comments.

And good luck!

Don’t spend all of your Christmas/Holiday money!!

Don’t spend all of your Christmas/Holiday money!!

Does your daughter spend her gift money faster than a speeding bullet?  I’m betting that your daughter has received money as a gift.  Perhaps birthday.  Or the holidays.  Or some other special occasion. But does she immediately spend her money?  Or does she save a percentage?   Let’s talk about how she can game change her […]

Why you probably don’t pay attention to entrepreneurship for your daughter

Why you probably don’t pay attention to entrepreneurship for your daughter

I read an amazing article recently.  It spoke about the benefits of why you want to encourage your child on the entrepreneurial path.  And it highlighted ideas that make my heart sing – ie. kids learning leadership skills, hearing the word “no” in sales. But there was something important missing.
