Thriving in Family-Run Businesses: Overcoming Common Pitfalls

And I'll never forget when I was in high school, my dad used to come to my wrestling practices and sit in the corner of the gym. And I remember not thinking that was a big deal. But now as a father myself, it's a really big deal because it's hard for me to get away from my day and I try to go to all my kids events. I know it's always the right move and when I'm there it always makes me think about my dad. And if I've ever hemmed and hawed about going, I would think about my dad and I'd go. And I never missed anything doing that. As a father, it's really important that you show your kids that you want to be there with them. There's no regret that I have more than being a snot nosed teenager who used to react with frustration when my dad was interested in asking me questions about my wrestling and my matches and practice. Now a typical teenager, now I get a chance to try to repair every day. I think my dad knows how much I love him, I know how much he loves me. And so if you had an opportunity to work with your dad, that's a blessing.
