I want my daughter to do whatever she wants. (Although even I was relieved when 'Bathroom Designer' fell off the table).
She has told me in no short order that she wants to be
A) a kid doctor, a doctor for kids.
B) a rock star
C) a restaurant owner
D) a zookeeper
E) an actress
F) an MMA fighter
G) an engineer
H) a conductor (of trains)
etc.
My daughter is six, I could care less if she wants to be a rock star in her twenties, if she wants to go to college to be an architect, an engineer, or if she wants to move to Hollywood and go for success as an actor. The only thing I want her to do is be happy. In the mean-time, she gets dance lessons, karate lessons, music lessons, soccer practices. We recently went to see her favorite rock band live. The only thing I push her into doing is finding out who she is, and being a good person.
Now I'm sure you're doing much of the above (except rock concerts but hey, 'I'm a 'hip' dad'), however my point is you can't say entrepreneur and expect that to happen, but you can expose them to things that will boost their creativity, and show them what entrepreneurship has done for YOUR life. They will take all of these factors into consideration as they grow up. Don't set their time aside. Just make it a part of their lives. Of course, it's good for you to set time aside out of your own schedule but that's because we're adults and we have schedules to stick too oh hrumph busy busy. Just be their dad (& uncle!) and show them what you are passionate about, it will probably rub off on them.
