SharkI'm an entrepreneur at heart. I always have been and always will be. From the time I started my first business, mowing lawns for $30 a pop, to different businesses I've had in IT, transportation and now new media, I've been on a path of educating myself in order to be successful.

One of my desires has always been to teach these lessons to my children so they won't have to learn each lesson the hard way. As with any parent I want my children to be more successful than myself. This first hand education is one of the ways I'm working to achieve that.

Here are five ways that I'm working to raise future entrepreneurs:

1) I make sure that the kids see the work that goes into a successful business. Through our business we're afforded amazing opportunities, trips and experiences.

Over the past year, we've seen a healthy public debate over the gender wage gap. But while the pundits and politicos may argue over how to calculate the discrepancies, there's one thing we can all agree on: There's no reason a woman should be paid less than a man for the same work.

While this debate could drag on for years, you do have the power to change the status quo now. Women often hesitate when it comes to negotiating, but by knowing what you're worth and asking for it, you prevent the slippery slope leading to the gender pay discrepancy.

Need some encouragement? We've asked our good friend Ryan Gosling to make his second annual appearance in honor of Equal Pay Day. Take it from The Gos: It's time to start asking for what you're worth!

Dollars and SenseI already wrote about the necessity of dads getting more involved in childcare in order to lower the "maternal wall," but a few recent articles make interesting points about the economics of the situation.

As Catherine Rampell wrote in The New York Times Magazine last weekend ("Lean In, Dad: How Shared Diaper Duty Could Stimulate the Economy"), women hold the majority of undergraduate and advance-graduate degrees in this country, but without policies that make it easier for them to balance career and family they either drop out of the workforce or don't occupy positions that fully utilize their talents. As a result, our economy suffers.

Solutions seem to come from across the Atlantic, where some European countries offer mothers flexible-time work options and long maternal leave, and men get paid paternal leave as well. But a closer look reveals problems exist even with these policies.
