Podcast Episode 278: How to Inspire Your Kids to Achieve Greatness

Mar 25, 2017 | In The Loop

In The Loop with Andy Andrews, hosted by David Loy

In this episode, we discuss a listener’s question regarding how to inspire kids to think outside the box and dream big.

Kids need to be comfortable being different.

  • Everyone wants different results, but no one wants to be different.

Teach them how to deal with problems.

  • Problems are a great way of connecting your kids with the things they want in life.
  • We want our kids to be people who glide over the surface of the sea of troubles.
  • Help them start thinking of problems as opportunities.

Figure out where your kids want to go.

  • Help them realize what they need to do to get there.

Tune in to hear why Andy tells his boys to use the word “yet.”
