As my sons are ending their college careers, and shifting their focus to interviewing, compensation packages, and training programs, we discuss balance, enjoying what you do, and lifestyle.
Naturally, money is a BIG deal. They are starting out on their own and will need new cars 🚘, a place to live, and an upgrade in wardrobe. They will be taking on car insurance, health insurance, renters insurance, and then one day, homeowners insurance, a mortgage, and so on.
From us, their parents, they hopefully see us model what we preach. For example,
I so LOVE what I do for a living: I help people live the life of their dreams
And it does take money.
Now here’s the thing: before I consult with anyone about owning a franchise, I have them put in writing
- WHO is important to them
- WHAT they do with the money the business makes and
- HOW they will spend their time away from the business.
Clearly, true success is not just about making money. It's about making a difference - in the lives of people you care about - your family members, your friends, your community.
As I trust is obvious, it’s also about making a positive difference in your own life. I have people write down what they want a business to do for them - personally, professionally, and financially.
Here’s to work-life balance, well-being, growth, fulfillment, creating wealth, and living the life of your dreams!
