My kids are always coming up with startup ideas. I decided the 10 yo is now old enough to hear the truth: if you want to start a startup, the thing to be doing at 10 is learning the things that will enable you to have good startup ideas at 20. How to program especially.

Learn how to program before you start the company. As an added bonus, you'll have more and better ideas if you know how to program.
