Make the best of your Child’s “spare” time
In this Flashcast Phil tackles the big question - How can I, the parent, help my child manage their spare time?
Are your kids spending too much time on their devices and not enough time engaging in the real world?
Listen and learn how Phil has tackled this with his own children Arley and Anika.
Schools teach children mostly to use the left side of their brains - the logical, analytical and information side but what they don't encourage is the use of the right side - the creative side.
Phil gets his son involved on the holidays with small projects that incorporate both sides of the brain. Just last holidays Arley started up his own small coffee business. How? Listen to Phil as he discusses the logistics and how from little things, big things have grown.
Everything though is in moderation, and learning a trade is coupled with some fun, exciting and interesting pastimes.
Phil also lets us in on his very own childhood and how he learnt appreciation, not just for money but also for people and moments.
Remember - Children have different size feet, and not one shoe will fit all. How can you, then, as the parent, learn to adapt to what your child needs as they grow into successful adults?
Listen to Phil and pick up some handy hints to help you solve the mystery of the teen.

Entrepreneurship is a way of life and intelligence for me, not a title. Every project that I embark upon, my goal is to do it different or better than anyone else. It was this passion and entrepreneurial spirit that led me to start up my first business venture, a small coffee-roasting operation in the suburbs of Brisbane in 2002. I identified a gap in the coffee market. There was no local coffee company that successfully matched the quality of their products with excellent customer service and a strong brand, all at a reasonable price. This business grew from a start up to the largest of its kind in Australia before I sold it 12 years later. I strive to make my group of companies matter to customers. I want to ensure that I am relevant in the future am continually looking at innovative ways to do so. I am not limited by my available resources; I am continually looking to fill the void in the market to meet customer’s needs and solve problems. My mantra is ‘tomorrow better than today’. My goal is to continue building and improving and use our achievements to fuel our momentum and keep moving forward to bigger and better things. I never rest on the laurels of my success but continue to pursue new ventures through which to challenge myself, and seek opportunities to develop or share my skills. I continue to strive as a leader in my industry and as an entrepreneur, and am always challenging myself personally and professionally whilst ensuring to give back to community.
