The Entrepreneurial Mindset List

Does it seem that your daughter is glued to her smart device?   Does she laugh at technically challenged adults because,  she a whiz when it comes to operating smartphones, tablets, laptops, or even computers?

In the post-Christmas/Holiday season, there will be technically challenged adults receiving gifts.  They won’t have a clue about how to operate their new gadget.  For example, I am not embarrassed that it was my daughter who taught me how to use Siri on my last phone. Not embarrassed in the least that a toddler showed me how to use my phone.  lol.

But this is business gold for your daughter.  She can provide a service that fulfills a desperate need for many.  

Here are five simple steps to your daughter’s technical savviness into cash.  Her wallet will be happy AND she will help a heap of technically challenged.

What does your daughter know?

• • Discuss what she enjoys most
  • Share what you observe as a parent that comes most naturally to her
  • Create a list of 5-10 items and check off the top 3 things that interest her
