In this episode, Rick sits down with Charles Rashid, a successful entrepreneur, investor, and business owner. Rick and Charles discuss how good old-fashioned persistence, combined with a passion for goal-setting and achieving can lead almost anyone to a lifetime of success in both business and family life. If you can find a way to take Charles’ advice and stay positive in all situations, opportunities will open up to you. Life is more fulfilling when you are achieving meaningful goals. Create a system in which you are writing your goals down and you are studying them when you go to sleep at night, AND when you wake up in the morning. This strategy will help you achieve far more. 

Parents should be teaching kids how to be businesspeople. In this episode, you’ll hear part three on how Teresa planted the seed in her son early on by exposing him to different entrepreneurial experiences. Have your kids or grandkids ponder this question: "What business will I start?" A child being raised to be entrepreneurial will likely progress well in whatever career path they take. The economy needs leaders, thinkers, and doers. It needs resourcefulness and resilience, and that will never change.

In today’s American culture, it seems that parents spend an inordinate amount of time protecting their children from hard work and the realities of life. They don’t realize this until it’s too late, and they’ve raised a life-long dependent. Instead, parents should be investing time and money into their children’s education with a focus on creating independent entrepreneurs. In this episode, listen to how Teresa did things differently with her son, Keating.
