Being an entrepreneur is not easy at times (understatement). You constantly have this sense that you are not doing something that you need to be doing. After all, there is no one there to drive you except yourself. Well, that is not exactly true…life and all its demands provide a pretty clear and painful picture of what is expected ($$$).
I’ve been chasing this crazy entrepreneur-approach for about 26 years and while successful at times, nothing I can do in my business/financial life can compare to what I have at home. All the bigger corporations I’ve come in contact with lately all use the term “team” – our team, your team, etc. along with several other acronyms that take me forever to figure out, unless I just ask and look stupid.
Well here is my TEAM! I am one lucky man; I have a wonderful wife, Heather, and three great, happy and healthy children – two girls and one boy, Jess 12, Em 7 & The Man 4. I love them all dearly. This is where I pull from when times get tough. Heather and I make a perfect pair. I’m out there with all my business ideas and she is a calm, down-to-earth sounding board. There was a time earlier in my life when I thought that this was unachievable and not in my cards. But I count my blessings daily and enjoy my family day by day. My father always told me and my three siblings that when the times get tough we “circle the wagons” – referring to family. I am so glad that Heather and I could add some more wagons to our family circle.
I look forward to writing more about my family as I tell the story of The Last Straw. They have all contributed along the way with their own unique style and input.
Thanks for taking time…
