Mothers are natural entrepreneurs because they constantly solve problems for their families. Humans have the largest cortex-to-body ratio among mammals, which gives us the brain capacity for higher-level problem solving. Teaching kids to solve problems builds the neural pathways that make them happier and more capable.

Moms are very entrepreneurial. When you think about it, you're always solving problems. You're always trying to make things better for your kids and your family. You're born entrepreneur. So this is a great mindset to have, and it's a skillset that every kid should learn. The brain loves to solve problems. That's what human brains are for.
