The Flipped Lifestyle Podcast show

Summary: <a href="https://flippedlifestyle.com/podcast197" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a><br> <br> “How do you encourage young children to have the entrepreneurial mindset?”<br> <br> Well… you can get them a cool book about starting a business! <br> <br> Sounds like a good plan, only this genre doesn’t really sound very appealing to kids.<br> <br> Oh! How about sending them to one of those fancy, super rare business schools?<br> <br> Yeah, this would work EXCEPT your state probably doesn’t have one OR it’s too far and too expensive to send your child / children there.<br> <br> So, what’s a parent to do to get their children interested in flipping their life in an amazing and non-traditional way?!<br> <br> 2 words...<br> <br> BY EXAMPLE.<br> <br> Think about it!<br> <br> Children, by default, look up to their parents and want to do what they’re doing.<br> <br> “But why? Being an adult is boring and monotonous.”<br> <br> This is where it gets awesome, y’all!<br> <br> Kids are absolutely fascinated by everything we do. They think we’re this super high leveled person who CAN DO ANYTHING -- AND THEY’RE RIGHT.<br> <br> So show the budding entrepreneur in your life that you are a dedicated action taker.<br> <br> Because the fastest and easiest way to encourage your kid-entrepreneur to take that next step toward pursuing their online business dreams (or achieving anything in life for that matter) is for them to see YOU TAKE CONSISTENT ACTION.<br> <br> Put yourself out there.<br> <br> Be passionate and compassionate!<br> <br> Do better than you did the first time, every single time.<br> <br> Have faith and take courage to act on your goals and dreams.<br> <br> When YOU show your kids what TAKING PERSISTENT ACTION does, they’ll be less afraid to take action themselves.<br> <br> So, help them find what they’re good at, hold their hand and take the journey with them, it will be a good bonding experience for both parent and child (or children).<br> <br> Online business is for everyone.<br> <br> Online business isn’t just for adults, kids can be just as successful online too!<br> <br> Which brings us to our guest this week and what she is hoping to build with her triplets.<br> <br> We have strong-willed, widowed single mom of 11-year-old triplet girls, with over 20 years of accounting experience, Regina Drury.<br> <br> Regina has 2 bachelors degrees, one in business management and another in accounting, and also an MBA. <br> <br> Her husband passed away when the girls were just 3 years old, and for most of the girls’ younger years, she had to overcome so many struggles personally and financially as a single parent.<br> <br> John, Regina, and the girls (1 y/o)<br> <br> The triplets are almost teenagers now and Regina is determined to build a sustainable income online so she can be more present in her children's’ lives, especially since they are in their formative years.<br> <br> Now, Regina isn’t new to the online business scene, she has tried several times to generate income online. <br> <br> First, she had the Biz Geek Podcast that geared towards finding other geeks in the business space and create a place where they could chat about business and their geek passions while being this community. Awesome as it is, it, unfortunately, did not generate her income.<br> <br> Then she briefly did a podcast for parents of multiples and had hopes of starting something with that, but that didn’t gain much traction either.<br> <br> Though she does have much experience in accounting, it isn’t something she is very passionate about, but was more of a necessity through the years.<br> <br> After one of her girls got diagnosed with thyroid cancer, there’s now an even greater urgency to be physically there for her triplets.<br> <br> But don’t worry!
