Episode 40 - How to Use Business to Inspire the Next Generation with Cheryl Dodd
Welcome to Building a Bigger Table
The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income.
In This Episode:
Welcome to episode 40 of the Building a Bigger Table Podcast, where I’m joined by the lovely Cheryl Dodd. Cheryl has a dance school, a gymnastics club and has been in business for 22 years, but she’s here to talk about her most recent passion project BizKidz which inspires children to set up their own businesses.
I wanted to create this episode for all of the entrepreneurial, business-minded parents out there, because I think secretly, we all want our children to follow in our footsteps and become their own bosses. Whether they end up going down that road or not, Cheryl believes there are a ton of benefits in encouraging them to start a business in their childhood - ones that the traditional education system can’t provide.
In this episode, she tells us how BizKidz got started after her 11 year old daughter Izy decided to set up a slime shop, and then takes us through exactly what she teaches inside the BizKidz academy course.
We also cover how you can inspire your children (or nieces, nephews … whoever!) and empower them to start making their own choices and doing things their way. If you have kids in your life, you’re going to love this episode!
Key Takeaways:
It’s about making your own choices
Fills gaps of traditional curriculum
Increases confidence and self belief
Let them drive it
Quotes:
“What I've noticed on this entrepreneurial journey is that she is suddenly able to steer her future in just the way you're describing Shaa and and feel that sense of self worth.”
“I do get the privilege of watching them go from being quite fearful or thinking that they can't do something to believing in themselves and then doing it and that's just amazing.”
“She could see other people that were doing the thing that she wanted to do … so she had a really clear vision of having a warehouse with all of these slimes and creating her content, and the kind of content she wanted to create so she's created her vision in her mind.”
Meet Your Host:
Hi, I’m Shaa.
I’ve been called a serial entrepreneur … but I’ve never been one for labels! I’ve done SO many things in my career, including starting and scaling multiple 7 figure businesses, and am grateful for being recognised with some lovely awards - most proudly, an MBE from The Queen “for Services to Business and Entrepreneurship”.
I’ve been featured in major publications for my efforts (named one of the UK’s Top 20 Most Influential Entrepreneurs by The Sunday Times and one of the ‘Most Influential Women in the UK" by the Institute of Directors), and have written 4 straight-talking, bestselling books; Stop Talking, Start Doing; Stop Talking, Start Doing Action Book, Do Less, Get More; and most recently, How To Fix Your Sh*t.
