Over 15 years, I interviewed hundreds of entrepreneurs and their parents to learn how they were raised.
The parents say their grown children are not only accomplished and financially successful, but generous and kind.
But looking back now, so many of the parents told me there were several things they wished they had known while their children were growing up.
