Raising Successful Kids Podcast

Irene is in discussion with a highly successful property investor, business coach and mentor for women and founder and owner of Business Accelerator Mastermind, Vikki Thomas. in this episode of Raising Successful Kids. Irene and Vikki discuss why helping kids that have an entrepreneurial mind grow are essential to development. They go on to explain why investing in yourself and your kids will be the best investment you can make and share with you how you too, can raise successful kids.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Why help women and their daughters who have entrepreneurial minds to achieve their goals. The barriers and the limited beliefs and not believing in themselves its imposter syndrome. All these kinds of negative limitations that these women have, these are some of the reasons why you should help women to achieve their goals.
• A successful entrepreneur should still think of her own self-investment. This is the kind of investment like paying coaches to coach you and educate you. The growth that it gives you internally and the growth that it actually gives your clients and the growth that it gives the people around you is worth more than anything you could ever achieve in this world.
• Education and self-investment. This puts you on a different level completely in how you understand how people work or how you understand yourself, how you work and how your brain functions and your negative belief, all those things, self-sabotages that you go through, it helps you deal with all of those and then you could just pass that on to whoever you're dealing with, whether that's teenagers, or successful entrepreneurs themselves.
• External confidence and internal confidence. The external confidence how you perceive, how you talk whereas internal confidence is very much where you've got these limited beliefs and these barriers, which is, you see somebody else, they're doing that, they're better than me, or I can't do that, because she's doing or he's doing it. It’s imposter syndrome, that perhaps I can't do it because I haven't really spent as much time on it, or as much money on it, or really because of what people might think of me.
• Why do you only focus on mums and daughters? First, it’s a calling to help these women and daughters and secondly its so that we can recode together because I’m also a mum and an entrepreneur. The idea of everything is for successful women entrepreneurs that want their teenage daughters to be more successful than themselves because, for me, I want my daughter to go and fly.
• Seeing the success of others should always inspire you to work very hard for you to acquire success as well.
• Raising successful kids. It's understanding that they are totally different to us, they're not going to want to have the same attributes that we've got, we were brought up to, you know, get a job, pay your mortgage off and retire. Kids nowadays they're going to rent and it's just totally different. Successful kids are to let them lead, they know what they're doing with the right guidance and the right recording and the right love. They can be successful in their own rights.

BEST MOMENTS

• “If you're not growing, you're dying.”
• “If you're not growing within, then you're dying.”
• "Self-investment is the codes of reprogramming our limited beliefs and our barriers so that we can actually spread the word, the training, the teachings and the recording to everybody out there.”
• “External confidence is so different from the internal confidence.”
• “We can't be coded, all we can do is look after our loved ones.”
• “As soon as you get proper inner success and you are following your passion, your vision, your purpose, then the financial success just flows to you anyway.”
• “Children and teenagers tend to listen more to other people as their role models than they do their parents.”
• “When you're part of a tribe, you're part of a mastermind.”
