This is awesome! I love it!
I’m sure this will be very successful! Great idea.
This really doesn’t have to do with your seminar (which I’m sure is going to be eye-opening and helpful). I just finished reading a post on your career blog called “What Gen Y doesn’t know about themselves” and it seemed to mention imply that Gen Y was embracing entrepreneurship as a safety-net from a potential failing of a corporate employer. The idea there being that the once-radical and risky is now heading more mainstream and traditional. Do you think the trend of entrepreneurship will continue through to Gen Z, and if so, how do they compete when the market becomes saturated with entrepreneurs?
Entrepreneurship is not so narrow as starting a business with a name and a storefront. It can be, for example, a temporary consulting business while you travel with your family. Or it can be a business that has only four clients that you take with you from your staff job so that you can take care of an ailing spouse.
The Harvard Business review, a few months ago, wrote about how the highest performers will become free agents — they will go into companies, do a project that makes a huge difference, and then leave. In sports, the free agents are the most entrepreneurial, and that will be the same in corporate life as well.
In our kids’ generation, most people who feel successful will also feel entrepreneurial because they will feel they can make their own projects, their own teams, their own schedules, and, in some cases, their own products.
It’s not a competition, or a limited availability thing: everyone can feel control over their lives. The problem is that school does not teach this — in fact, it teaches the opposite. So kids that have experience learning this outside of school will have a much easier transition to adulthood.

Love this.
My 8 year old sold her jewelry at our farmer’s market last week, and today asked if she could go every week next summer. I told her she’d need to make a lot more and she said “Yeah, I’m facing my fears about that.”
I would like to view this with my children. I am traveling out of the country during those dates. Will video be available afterwards or just audio? Thanks!
Yes! You can watch it whenever you want. And the idea of you watching it with your kids make me so happy.

Can we purchase the seminar after this week even if we are unable to participate? Maybe at a discounted price for not having been able to actually listen in and ask questions? I would LOVE to be a part of this, but am also traveling. I have been searching high and low for something just like this for my 11 year old and when I saw your post, I almost cried! I know 11 is young, but I want to be able to guide her in her creative pursuits early on.
I discover your post too late… Do you think it could be possible to see the videos (paying of course), I’m really interested on this subject. Even if in Spain situation is not the same than in USA, I think our kids must be ready to “the real life” and the really life means business… (also).
