a few days before school starts (she works at
an elementary school and Tyler starts 2nd grade
Thursday.)
Back when I was growing up my parents were
both very supportive of me - but they each had
a different perspective.
My dad wanted me to have a 'white collar' career
as he'd spent his life in very physically taxing jobs
and didn't want the same for me. He wanted me to
be a doctor, a lawyer or an accountant.
My mom had a different perspective. She always
told me to find a career that made me happy. She
said that no matter what path I choose, it would
require a significant amount of time and effort to
be successful - so choose something that would
allow me to enjoy that time.
I remember saying to her when I was a teenager:
"Well, that sounds great - but I love baseball and working
out...how will I ever make any real mo.ney trying to
have a career doing something like that?"
She smiled and said "your're smart, I'm sure you'll
figure it out."
When I started college I was certain I'd either be a
lawyer or a chiropractor.
By the time I was done I was finally listening to my
mom.
I hope you're as fortunate as I am to have a support
system like I've had - with a great family, wonderful
friends & mentors and incredible business partners.
But if it's not as strong as you'd like - remember, you
can always lean on us as part of your team.
And as for the advice my mom gave me, I'm sure it
will work for you too if you're willing to put in the
time and effort.
Have a great week -
Pat
