Someone to me: When children start thinking about money now, it makes them lose focus on school work.

Me: Why is that? And what does school work make them focus on? 

Him: On having a good education, making good grades and becoming something in the future...

Me: Oh really, that is it?  

So they go to school to become "something" ( and who says they aren't something already? Gist for another day🤣)

Ehn Ehn, so yes something like a lawyer, doctor, engineer, etc so they can...

EARN MONEY?

Oh, why then don't you want them to start with the end in mind?🤠😄

Anyway, I also don't think children should be all about money but more like learning financial principles, interacting with money and making their money mistakes earlier when they handle small cash, rather than when they have access to billions.

 So, for me, earning money isn't the goal, and thinking about money isn't the mindset. 

Adding VALUE is and it attracts money...lots of it...and when that money comes whether at 10, 15 or 60, you have the knowledge and understand the principles behind making, managing and multiplying wealth 😁

This is where discipline, responsibility, resilience, accountability and more are learnt and how knowledgeable and focused wealthy people are raised.

Guess what, the same skills ( discipline, responsibility etc) are required to excel in school. So their academics become a walk in the park! Easy peasy...🙌💯

So, my dear parent...

We don't teach the kids to think of money, we teach them to CREATE solutions that can ADD VALUE and IMPACT and money becomes attracted to them!💥💥💥
