Three holiday gifts for a new generation that can save America

Are you worried that classic American values ​​are no longer the same? It's time to do something about it. Mark Rockefeller, co-founder and CEO of StreetShares startup, using technology and social loyalty to improve financial services for military and veterans, invites American entrepreneurship on these Christmas holidays.

“Join me in purchasing gifts that inspire and prepare the next generation to become independent business owners and entrepreneurs,” Rockefeller is quoted as saying. Fox News.

Creating a new generation of entrepreneurs and business owners will strengthen American values. This is how it will happen.

First, studies show that business owners are open, pragmatic, and extremely independent. What could be more American than that? A survey conducted by the National Small Business Association in 2018 showed that business owners strongly consider themselves “conservative” in matters of taxes and economics (66% are “conservative” versus 19% “liberal”). Moreover, the defining characteristic of business owners is their independence.

Secondly, all the same studies show that the United States is reducing its position in the world in the field of innovation. Despite the fact that the Americans invented the aircraft, the mass production of cars, personal computers, the Internet and the iPhone, America is lagging behind.

Why? Government red tape is one part. The other part: The US just needs more entrepreneurs.

So, here are three gifts that can inspire your child or grandson to innovate, create and even start your own business.

1. Entrepreneurship training for children

This is a gift for the future. Most entrepreneurs, including Mark Rockefeller, had a moment of truth when they realized that it was better to start their own company than to work for someone else.

Until this point, most entrepreneurs had never thought about business ownership as a career. It is therefore not surprising that many business owners come from families where one or both parents owned their own business. Whether you own a business or not, any parent or relative can inspire this moment of truth by showing children that business ownership is an option and a great career path.

Among the gifts that encourage young people to become entrepreneurs, you can choose the Academy Kidpreneurs, which has a blog with articles about typical business ideas and ways to encourage creativity. Kidpreneur.org also offers great books and kits for learning about entrepreneurship. A great resource for older children is Entrepreneur tool kit for teenager.

2. Programming lessons

This is a gift for knowledge. Programming is the future. And having basic programming skills makes a young person an infinitely successful candidate for employment and lays the foundation for future self-employment. Rockefeller said he was at a dinner with other tech startup founders last week. One CEO said he pays first-year software engineers, particularly in high-demand occupations, a starting salary of $170. More importantly, a strong foundation in programming sets the stage for your child or grandchild to start their own business in the future.

To give this opportunity, visit code.org, the site of a nonprofit organization that selects programming courses for children in your area. Many of these courses are fun, based on video games or robotics that children are already playing with. If you want them to start very early, check out the app. Daisy the Dinosaurto teach 4 year old children the basics of programming.

3. Travel and new experiences

This is a gift for time. Travel broadens our horizons and makes us curious, which is a key feature of an entrepreneur. Travel with your child or grandson. But when you travel, don't just passively visit places. Teach your child or grandson how to identify problems that need to be addressed.

According to Rockefeller, a few years ago he walked around New York with a 13-year-old relative. Amid the chaos of a noisy street in the city center, he asked a young man: “Do you see what people are having difficulty with? What can you notice that seems broken or ineffective? ”When he noticed problems (for example, garbage in the streets or a woman who was carrying a heavy bag), I asked him what services or inventions could solve this problem.

So think entrepreneurs. He did not know this yet, but I gave him a present: to think like an entrepreneur.

Entrepreneurs go through life in search of solutions to problems. The bigger the problem, the more value an entrepreneur can add to the world, creating a solution to this problem ... and the more compensation the entrepreneur himself will receive.

So great ideas begin, and this kind of thinking can be taught. It just takes a little practice.

Your holiday gifts can not only bring a smile to the face of a child, but also inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs. This is great for them and good for America.

If you are lucky, you can inspire the next Ilon Mask, Peter Thiel or Bill Gates, which will not only help the country, but can become an excellent retirement plan!

This year, let's inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
