This highly sought after business coach, transitioned to opening her own Speakers Agency and she is the leading authority on assisting thriving purpose-driven entrepreneurs in how to monetize their message, make an impact, influence change, and inspire action in others. She is also raising an amazing philanthropic child, and in this episode we explore how to foster philanthropic and entrepreneurial values in our kids with Erin Loman Jeck!

• Erin's son is 10 and has had a business for 7 years, and all of his profits go to charitable causes. They recently returned from Europe where he raised 1200 Euros for a refugee center
• Erin takes us on a sneak peek into her house - some of the first business concepts she introduced to her son, and how he's developed a strong philanthropic background.
• Her son frequently participates in the local Acton Children's Business Fair. His business is called "The Shop of Dreams." He's sold slime, "cloud" snacks, fidget spinners, glow-in-the-dark bubbles, and more.
• Erin uses sites like alibaba, wish, aliexpress - and she buys really inexpensive things from China and then sells them at higher profit margins. This is also where she buys things for her son - then they talk about profit margins. He's also had good luck with garage sales and finding inexpensive things and then selling them at a higher profit.
• Her son has a goal to be a toy tester, so that is what he is exploring at this point.
• Erin referred to Dan TDM in this episode. Her son really loves him and she took him to see him when he was performing nearby - and she purchased a lot of his equipment to set her son up for YouTube success.
• I asked Erin about how she balances all the things. How she finds time to encourage and support her kids' entrepreneurial endeavors while she is also building and scaling her own business. Her family has made a chosen commitment to support each others dreams, and it allows them to really remain clear on what matters, and devoting dedicated time to helping each member of the family work towards their biggest dreams.
• We also discuss how to handle instances where your kids' priorities don't align with yours.
• At this stage in the game, her son does not make any money of his own. He does help with chores around the house, but does not get paid for that. Erin has begun talking to him about the need to build in a living wage into his pricing structure and business plan so that he can maintain a comfortable lifestyle
• Erin has been on the board for multiple non-profits and has a network of friends who have founded non profits - and she gives him the options to choose from, including:
  • The Beyond Project
  • Charity Water
  • Pencils of Promise
  • The Women of Global Change Summit
