Family & Business

Hi everyone,
Today I wanted to touch on a subject that's very important to me and that's how to juggle your personnel life with your business life and that sounds a lot easier then it really is. I remember when I was a child I very rarely got to see me father because he was always busy with he's business, providing for and taking care of his family was his first and foremost priority, and he was very successful at achieving that goal, We never wanted for anything.

If that was the only measure for success then you would have to say he was a very successful man but success has to also be measured by the way your children are able to grow up and look back on their lives and say they had the perfect lives. Well as I said I had all the toys,games,and sports equipment that any child could every want but I think the one thing that I always felt that I missed out on was a real relationship with my Dad.

I loved my dad but I always felt distant from him because he was not around when I was growing up & I missed that. I guess why I wanted to write this article was to make a point to every business person out there that you need to put into perspective the things that mean the most to you and that should always be that your family should come first.

Don't look back and have regrets that you should have spent more time watching you children grow up because they really do grow up so fast. Be there for them in every aspect of their lives and that in turn will make them better adults.

I'm reminded of a great Randy Travis song were the line goes "It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you it's what you leave behind you when you go".
Thanks.
