Kids - and what they mean to business

We all know that kids say (and do) the darnedest things.
With Mother’s Day passed and Father’s Day around the bend, I thought it would be fun to find out how kids teach us things about business.
So I asked my colleagues at b5’s business channel to share their thoughts this week about it:
- Blogging is important - even to 2nd graders. Liz Fuller at Business & Blogging shares why this pint-size group uses a blog.
- Kelly Erb at Tax Girl has been inspired by her own daughter and shares all about the lesson she learned.
- Ren Garcia at Accounting Solver shares an inspirational quote about how to embrace your inner child.
- “Go Find a Job!” is what Darlene McDaniel heard when she asked her daughter to guest blog at Interview Chatter.
- Mary Emma Allen, at Home Biz Notes, reminisces about families working together on the family farm, one type of home business.
- It’s all about being resilient at Talk Stock Trading. Tisa Silver shares how she learned about bouncing back from a kid.
- Jean Murray from Small Business Boomers shares tips from Warren Buffet on how to keep your kids truly rich.
- “Eat and enjoy!” says Jennifer Heigl’s one year old daughter over at Daily Blender.
- Eric Eggertson at Common Sense PR shares the rules we learn with our kids.
- What do kids know about networking? A lot, according to Jennifer Gniadecki at Everyday Networking.
- Kids ask a ton of questions. And according to Rico Mossesgeld at Contract Work, so should you!
And here’s a couple from me: What my twins teach us about running a business & a 10 year old entrepreneur shares her success secrets.
Springwise.com often have interesting business startups featuring or aimed at kids. It surprised me to find a number of large banks taking steps to facilitate child entrepreneurs.
Nice round-up Shannon!
