My mission is to change the way that success is measured in business. To make it about something much more than just money. In fact, I believe that enjoyment should be the ultimate measure of success, which contains a balance of security and self-satisfaction along with an awareness that a difference is being made. In fact, the cornerstone of Business Enjoyment is around finding your Purpose. From there we can build a business that makes a difference in the world that is important to us and leave a meaningful legacy for generations to come. Over the years I've discovered that, in general, there is a different approach to uncovering purpose and leaving a legacy depending on whether or not you have children. Neither way is more right or wrong than the other, just different. As a child-free entrepreneur, I had to do a lot of work to uncover my Purpose and work out what legacy I could leave. And I wanted to share what I learned with those in a similar position. And that is why I am running the upcoming masterclass for child-free entrepreneurs entitled 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 – to give other people like me the opportunity to uncover what they can do too. I can't change societal culture by myself, so the more people who can see the importance of uncovering their true purpose and crafting their businesses into something that can leave a meaningful legacy – the greater the chance I have of creating mine.

As we go through life, the idea of leaving a legacy really hits home for a lot of us. Building a legacy is not just about wealth, but also about passing on values, wisdom, and opportunities to future generations. Creating something of lasting value that supports the next generation is what building a legacy is all about! It's about laying a foundation on which they can build their dreams, achieve their goals, and continue the cycle of giving back. As a family man, entrepreneur, and mentor, I've learned how crucial it is to leave behind a legacy that's about more than money—it's about good character, strong faith, and family values. These are the true treasures that we can leave behind, the ones that will feed into the next generation. Let's be intentional about the legacies we're building. Let it be something that not only provides for our children but also teaches them the value of hard work, the importance of faith, and the strength found in family and friends. #legacybuilding #familyvalues #entrepreneurship

What's the most painful thing about entrepreneurship that no one tells you? Time lost... What I told myself: ✅ You are doing this for your family ✅ This is the only way to be successful ✅ Your business defines you ✅ They will understand one day At times, I missed the bus stop chats and school parties. Will they remember? Most likely not but I will. My ego was at the wheel and I couldn't zoom out to see the big picture. The thing is, I was too busy creating my own professional story because I had failed so many times in the past that I couldn't bare to fail again. That chip on your shoulder is a very powerful thing if left unrecognized. ____________ But as always, there is a bright side. We can find that balance between our professional and personal lives if we simply write down what's important to us. Here are my 2024 goals: ✅ Strive to be the best version of myself ✅ Work is important, do it with passion and purpose ✅ Family is your only true net worth Although I won't get that time back with my family, I've learned that the most important people in my life simply want my time and presence. I will do that from now on...and you can too. ____________ Throwback: This picture was taken in 2018 when my co-worker demanded we bring Zevia's to the office. She drew pictures on the whiteboard while I worked. It was a good day. 📌 Oh and if you're anything like me, stop being so damn hard on yourself. It's probably better than you remember it 😃

I've spoken with hundreds of business owners who have embarked on their entrepreneurial journey seeking freedom. However, now they find themselves enslaved by their businesses, neglecting their relationships and families. There's one tool that has helped numerous entrepreneurs grow their businesses without sacrificing their personal lives. It's called the 'One Page Personal Plan.'

The Cost of Entrepreneurship The entrepreneurial journey often comes with its own set of personal sacrifices, especially when balancing business demands with family life. The story of navigating long hours, being away from family, and the quest for a successful business resonates with many. It's a delicate dance of pushing towards professional goals while trying to maintain family bonds.  Sometimes, it works beautifully; other times, it leaves a trail of challenges. Remember, the path to success isn't just about financial gains; it's also about managing the intricate web of personal relationships and understanding the impacts on our loved ones.  #EntrepreneurLife #FamilyAndBusiness #WorkLifeBalance #PersonalSacrifices #BusinessJourney
