Your kids don't care how much you make or how successful you are. They won't remember the deals you closed, BUT will remember the dinners, bedtimes, birthday parties, and sporting events you missed. Here's some food for thought and my top tip on how to be there more for your kids. "75% of the time you’ll ever get to spend with your kids is over by the time they turn 12. 90% of your time with them is gone by the time they’re 18.” When I first became a dad it felt like I had plenty of time to be a good parent, we've got 18 years before they leave home right? I focused on being an entrepreneur, on working a ton, and even when I was home my mind was elsewhere. I think we all struggle with this. But time does fly and I started to notice a void I was feeling with my kid. No deal or amount of money will ever fill this void, only quality time with your kids will. My top tip for not missing time and special moments with your kids is..... ?? Include them in your life ?? Here's a couple of ways I do this: ?? Take them on trips, even business trips. I bring my wife and son with me as much as possible. ?? Schedule time with your kids before anything work related. We call this "Team Papa Time". It's special father-son time. ?? Ask them what they want to do and then go do it! Like this quad-biking experience that my son found for us. Our kids are our future. Part of setting them up for success is teaching them about money, business, etc. of course but also showing them that you love them and prioritize them over this thing we call work.
