children we want business as a profession they work at their parents, how should our attitude as a parent to face it. Are we a priori or just want to follow her wishes. I think this case is no less experienced businessmen, including my own, that is when my son was still in junior high school also had a desire to be a businessman War net.
In my opinion, it naturally happened, because perhaps our children are familiar with the business atmosphere. Although, not a few children businessman who did not want to aspire to be a businessman, because he knows his father is very busy. Meanwhile, to educate himself was not easy. The problem, is a very large factor of emotional closeness, and it can sometimes be the obstacle of child development itself.
Meanwhile, I see not the schools that prepare a person to be businessmen. So, if your child wants to be a businessman, it is deemed necessary to have other people who we believe to be a mentor or mentor.
Only, we are involved in the mentor of the family, still must be well planned. And, to be successful, according to Patricia Skiff, a columnist in “Entrepreneur Magazine”, we must consider the factors below.
The first factor, we must know who the people who became his mentor. Have skills and can provide guidance, it is a major requirement. And we as parents, should be more used to believe before we involve the mentor in guiding our children.
The second factor, what we need to know the mentor. This means that before a mentor from outside the family that determines the rules in providing guidance, should we need to explain to the mentor, whatever be the motion, and what is its responsibility. For instance, he should be able to educate our children discipline.
The third factor, is what not to do the mentor. For example, he should not try to “sabotage” in the mentoring process itself. Because, in fact the essence of mentoring is how to provide input for our children’s ability in business. So the process is later, will make our children more mature in the business.
Therefore, I think, sort of a mentoring program that we should plan for a limited period, 5 or up to 10 years. Because, as this is, we as entrepreneurs will retire or rest. Meanwhile, our children when it was ready to become entrepreneurs.
