How to Raise Pretty Cool Kids Part 1

128Run Your Home Like a CEO
Your home is your business and you are the CEO not the Girl Friday. You are the one who sets the goals and tasks.
In the beginning you may have to do much of the work, but as your kids get older you will begin delegating tasks like a good CEO should.
Your job is to provide resources, guidance and unconditional love. Anything outside of those parameters will compromise the mission of your organization.
Keep in mind that just because you are running a company it doesn’t mean it’s all work and no play.
The best companies to work for have an awesome employee (read child) appreciation program. They have play time, casual days, and incentives. This is how it can be in your home.
CEOs receive a high level of respect. This is because they contribute the most value to the organization, which brings in the most revenue.
In your case you are the most valuable player and you bring in the most (all) of the revenue. Your employees/children owe you the respect you deserve.
The best CEOs listen to their employees and do what they can to ensure they are trained, happy, and growing in a positive direction.
You will do no less if you want to raise awesome kids. Keeping the lines of communication open and making your expectations clear are also signs of great CEOs.
Companies that have loyal and happy employees are guaranteed to have forward thinking, positive, fair CEOs.
Your children will be just as loyal and happy when you live out the same traits as the world’s best CEO.
Next time I’ll talk about remembering your the optimal objective for raising kids.
