Raising an Entrepreneur
In this pathbreaking book, based on interviews with 60 top entrepreneurs and their moms, Margot provides a guide to helping your kids identify a passion and figure out how they can spend their professional life at something they love.
She argues that parents’ well-intentioned efforts to help their children prepare for careers often boomerang, ignoring their skills and interests, limiting their options, and creating an environment of pressures and anxiety where they are less likely to excel and find happiness.
Too often, “following your heart” is deemed impractical, Margot writes, whereas it’s often exactly what will lead to success and fulfillment. This is a book that will shake the longstanding assumptions of traditional parenting.
Margot and her husband Mark have two kids. Austin has written successful pop songs and started a popular LA-based band, Magic Giant. Elliott founded Summit, a noted international conference series for Millennial entrepreneurs, and led the purchase and development of the Powder Mountain ski resort in Utah as a permanent home for the Summit community.
