Key Takeaways:
A piece parenting advice from my mom is this: Be a great manager with your kids so you’ll become a consultant when you’re older.
At work, a good manager makes sure that they empower you. They let you make the decisions, and they guide you; they don’t micromanage. They respect you; they build you up; they trust you. In this way, parents should become good managers of their children.
As a parent, you don’t automatically know what to tell your kids.
96% of what you worry about doesn’t come true.
Action Steps:
When you’re going through a divorce, find yourself in the process.
Be a good manager of your children.
Learn to trust and surrender.
