All parents are already entrepreneurs!

Yes, every “great” parent is a great entrepreneur. And other-than-great-parents are like start-ups who failed to produce great results. That means every good or bad parents are in a way entrepreneurs. How? Before you draw any conclusion let me explain my point.
Hah? My dad is an entrepreneur?
What parents do? they “manufacture” a product named a baby child. They put some catchy name for the baby. Then they do nurture the baby. They show-off their product to the world. If the product is able to sell himself and the world welcomes him well. Then the “business” is a hit!

That means when a parent up-brings a child its similar to a business owner who nurtures his product or service. “Oh Jerin, we can't compare business with parenting, that’s ridiculous”. Wait, I didn't mean both parenting and entrepreneurship is same. Rather there is always something we can learn from parenting for entrepreneurship.

A comparison:

 Parents
Entrepreneurs

Marriage
Start a business
Love making
Product concept design
Baby
Product/Service
Up-bringing baby
Improvising product/service
Great education
Marketing
Live dreams
Selling
Success
Success

If you look for entrepreneurship lessons form other parents, your parents or even yourself as a parent you will understand that there are lot of beautiful things you can learn. The double benefit is that you can be a great parent and a great entrepreneur in the process.

You are awesome!
