RE: Hey, Kid, I hear you want to be an entrepeneur

Find Original Blog Post Here!

I recently read a blog on ITbusiness.ca regarding young people aspiring to be entrepeneurs and the way the world reacts to this. Being a young adult who aspires to be an entrepeneur myslef one day, I found this blog post very interesting and intriguing.

The author, Leo Valiquette, describes that people in the world today, whether it be counsellors, teachers, parents or the government, are discouraging children who want to grow up to be entrepeneurs. They are warning these children that entrepeneurship is a risky, time-consuming, and stressful area of work.

What Leo Valiquette is saying, and I completely agree with him on this, is that these intelligent aspiring entrepeneurs need role models, mentors and support; they do not need to be criticized and have their dreams crushed by someone who does not have experience in this line of work.

I strongly believe that it is important for young people, who are the future in the business world and are aiming to change systems with their innovative ideas, to start dreaming young and start working towards finding that one perfect idea. This can be very hard to accomplish when the people the young adults are surrounded by are so negative and discouraging.

If the world has plans to keep moving forward and evolving, we need to count on the young adults of today to be the ones to create the positive changes in the future….So back off, stop trying to alter their dreams and let their imaginations run wild.
