Good day everyone, I'm Jeff N Marquis co-author of "Untapped Wealth Discovered."
Spring is here and with it comes the start of graduation or prom season and thoughts are starting to turn to the end of another school year and a summer that may or may not include employment in some way shape or form for your youngsters.  As a father of four kids I know that I am going to be working very hard to try and interest them in some sort of business venture for the summer to help them fill their time as well as to introduce them to the business world.  It is my belief that it is never too early to introduce our kids to the business world and it's what I and my co-author Kerry J Harrison strongly promote in our book "Untapped Wealth Discovered" especially so in our second edition which we released last month.
There are thousands of opportunities just waiting for our youngsters to explore and as a matter of fact our government is strongly encouraging parents to give their kids a push into the world of small business because they feel that if we can get our kids going at an early age it would help the American economy to maintain their strangle hold on the number 1 position as the biggest and most powerful economy in the world.  Yes, we are still number one in so many ways despite the present weakness of our dollar.  However, I believe that the weak dollar is only a temporary condition and that there are several things that we as parents can do to help this situation.  There are many benefits for motivating and encouraging our kids to become young entrepreneurs and these include:  Stimulating their minds and imaginations, inspiring their creative juices, teaching them how to manage their own businesses, their money, and their lives, encouraging them to earn income that they can save for their college education and/or their young lives when they are finished high school, plus so much more.
I know that becoming a young entrepreneur is certainly not limited to lemonade and hotdog stands, selling to shirts, or similar types of ventures.  There are boundless opportunities for our budding entrepreneurs in the technology field, in the service industry, and even with those hungry companies who are just dying to tap into the expertise of our kids as they continue to try and find ways to beat their competition in such markets as the toy and video games industry, the breakfast food and fast food markets, the clothing industry, and more.  I know that I'm going to be working hard to encourage my kids this summer and I hope that you too would do the same.
I'd like to close by wishing all you moms out there a very happy mother's day on Sunday May 14.
