With the economy in need of some serious help, many believe that the future of America is the small business owner. As entrepreneurs, we have a responsibility to mentor the next generation. So last week we wanted to know what you have been doing to personally invest in and inspire the next generation and asked –
What are you doing to teach your children, or other young people about the benefits, challenges and how-to’s of entrepreneurship?
The wonderful news is that there are many big-hearted and wise entrepreneurs who are generously taking time to invest in the lives of their children, family members and perfect strangers in an effort to instill the benefits of entrepreneurship, as well as the how-to’s.
More than ever, I am motivated to keep thinking of ways my young nieces and nephews will be able to work with me as my business grows, and how I might be able to nurture the dreams of young aspiring entrepreneurs in my local community. If you’re interested in learning more, and discovering how you might be able to do the same in your corner of the world, we invite you to explore the stories of our panel this week.

Performance Tip of the Week – July 20, 2011
My inspiration for this performance tip comes from @MrsGirlsLikeMe…
My immediate response to this tweet was, “Priceless” — and no, I’m not talking about being pretentious or narcissistic — this is about commanding respect and care from others by demonstrating how much you respect and care for yourself.
As much as I’d love to tell you that my mindset and actions consistently reflect being priceless, the truth is that there have been times in my life, both personally and professionally, when I have allowed others to treat me with far less care than I deserve.
So why is it so hard to assert your true worth to the world? And why do we to often sell ourselves short by what we put up with? The simple answer might be that we care too little, when in fact we probably care too much.
