Sometimes the world of a small business and a sixth grader get a little too close.
I’ve been trying hard to keep my brilliant 11-year-old on task this year as he’s tackled the brain-challenging world of Classen School for Advanced Studies.
One issue we’ve talked about this year is knowing your roles and your goals.
Know the roles you have in life and strive to do well in all of them: son, brother, Christian, student, Boy Scout, leader.
Know the goals you have in life and keep focused on them as well: Getting good grades, reading many books, learning a new language, living as God wants me too.
He’s 11, but does that really change for me, fighting my way through my 30s and trying to keep my business bountiful and helpful to customers?
Roles: Christian, husband, father, businessman, friend, provider, leader, influencer, subject matter expert, writer, strategist.
Goals: Provide for my family, help other succeed, help my church, connect with people, read more books.
The more things change…
