They don't have to be life threatening or really important decisions regarding life and death that teenagers often make (for better or for worse) but allowing kids to make many of the more inconsequential decisions in their lives allows them to move to being entrepreneurs as adults in the early to late 20s or after.
How do you learn to make good decisions?
By making decisions all your life.
There was a joke that was around a lot in the 1960s and 1970s that went something like:
There were two people a man and a woman who went to the Himalayas to find a wise man about enlightenment.
They climbed up into a cave where a very wise man was meditating for years. They asked him:
How to you learn to make Good decisions?
He said simply "Bad decisions".
However, unless you have the chance to make some bad decisions in your youth you are less likely to live to make good decisions as an adult.
I'm thinking the best way to create the entrepreneurs of the future is by home schooling your kids or on independent study or through some private schools that encourage creative and independent thinking. Because if you want to grow up to become an entrepreneur you need to start to experiment with making decisions all your life growing up. The less decisions you are allowed the more you will ONLY be able to work for others and never for yourself and become a slave in the way you think.
In the end there are only two types of people on earth: People who think like slaves (whether they are rich or poor)
and
People who think like masters whether they are rich or poor.
And people cannot do anything really in life but be slaves as long as they think like slaves.
So, one way to empower your children is to give them decisions to make at a young age that will not kill them but allow them to learn to make better decisions along the way.
Because success in life is always about learning to make decisions in a timely creative way.
Sometimes it is only 1 to 4 really good decisions and you are financially or relationship wise fixed for life in a really good life.
However, the majority of people have to work pretty hard to get anywhere or even just to survive.
But, if you learn not to think like a slave and learn how to not act like a slave and foster this masterful point of view you have a chance at unbelievable success at each and every point during your life.
