KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When you're an entrepreneurial parent and instil entrepreneurial traits in your child they are more likely to go on and seek out an entrepreneurial path.
• A lot of people are looking up to celebrities, but no one is actually showing them how to have confidence.
• You are a parent supporting your children, the kids are not doing it on their own. They need a supportive environment to allow them to flourish.

Irene: What is the key to a sustainable business

Veronika: A lot of people talk about relationships, and it's essential that you maintain relationships with your customers, your colleagues and everyone you deal with.

Irene: What inspires you to carry on?

Veronika: When you don't see a result, most people, they give up straight away. For us, if we only inspire one person each day it's worth it. Keep going when it gets hard and see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Irene: What does Raising Successful Kids mean to you?

Veronika: My journey started 3 years ago and really I think that my daughter would have still seen these celebrities and entrepreneurs, but she would never have known she could be doing it for herself.

BEST MOMENTS

• "She is a child and she is doing what she loves."
• “Children are worth something and have the ability to do anything they want.”
• "If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life"
• "Seeing her on stage makes me proud, I can't believe that's my child."
• "Getting paid for doing what you love is a bonus."
• “You need to be passionate and love what you do in order to create consistency.”
• "There will be that tipping point, when things start to happen.
