Parental Divorce Affects Future Entrepreneurial Success

• A child’s upbringing within his or her family often sows the seeds of entrepreneurial success later in life. Yet, families today are increasingly fragile, and many entrepreneurs have experienced parental divorce during childhood. Some say a divorce has negative consequences for children’s development, while others suggest that successfully mastering this challenging experience can give children the strength and resilience needed to later succeed as an entrepreneur. For example, much has been written about how Elon Musk’s experience of parental divorce in childhood became an important source of his success as an entrepreneur.
