Thought is a Seed
The idea of planting a thought or a seed in a young person’s head is a powerful concept. Exposing youth to an entrepreneurial mindset can help them throughout their lives, and in whatever path they choose as their career.
The problem solving, collaborative mindset of the entrepreneur can ignite an idea of someday starting a business, and are easier to seed when you engage youth in activities that stimulates their brains beyond reading a book or sitting through a lecture.
The thought process involved in activities that stimulate engagement, reflection, and conversation in classrooms or programs engages young people. It can ignite their energy with the capabilities of what they already have and the resource they can leverage.
Believing in them is allowing them to be free, as you plant the seeds with thoughts or opportunities to study or learn more.
When our youth are exposed to an entrepreneurial mindset, you never know what will come of it, where or when it will grow into a viable business idea or life choice. Seeds planted today have the potential to make the world a better place in the future.
