Virtually every
second generation business owner I have worked with, complain that
conversation at home is always focused on Dad's business.
This at the
exclusion of spouse and kids. I experienced with the same thing with my Dad
who spent nearly every weekend fixing up our house. I still have many of
his paint brushes he left me. I believe some have over 10,000 hours on
them.
Big Surprise when
my wife told me 15 years ago, that my tombstone should simply say "HE
WORKED"
Bigger surprise
when I woke up one day realizing that all of my "friends" were
associated with my business. No real friends.
So I am on the
mission to making genuine friends and finding the strength to turn off
business implications.
Hard work!
