Sometimes a person’s words seem to conflict with their actions.  In this client’s case, I nearly took it personally!  But then I learned what was really going on, and ended up admiring him instead.

As a crazy busy entrepreneur in my late twenties, I haven’t yet slowed down enough to make time for the family that I know I want.  As one of five children, having kids (someday!) is pretty much a given.

I’m very grateful for the fact that I come from an family of entrepreneurs, and that I was able to witness both the risks taken and the benefits earned from those risks.  I know with complete certainty that entrepreneurship is the only life for me, and I look forward to the day when I can share that spirit with my own children.

Marc Warnke, The Family First Entrepreneur, feels the same way. 

His upcoming book, ONO: Options Not Obligations contains a chapter on the subject.  Here’s an quick blurb:

Entrepreneurism is a great concept to teach children when they are young. It is one of the greatest gifts you can ever give them.

You can read more about his 3-year old son’s first experience in entrepreneurship here.  If you don’t have kids, it’ll still bring a smile to your face.  And if you do have kids, you might get a little watery.  Enjoy!
