7. Show your qualities

As a part of an enterprise, you need to have a particular role that you would play and a certain area where your forte lies. It is important that you display your qualities to your parents and allow them to judge it with ample scrutiny. “My dad saw that I brought valuable qualities to the table. My dad brought knowledge of our industry, initial contacts with vendors, some early customers and overall maturity. I brought a fresh perspective on the industry, forward thinking about where it was headed and an overall knowledge of technology, e-commerce and Internet marketing,” says Wade Benz, founder of USimprints.com.
