Jim Penman, 73, argues that real success isn't money or legacy but presence with family. He tells the story of a franchisee whose four-year-old asked for breakfast together, prompting the father to change careers entirely.
I'm a 73 year old entrepreneur from Australia, father of 10, and here's why you might be chasing the wrong kind of success. After building Australia's largest franchise and working with thousands of business owners, I realized success is not about money or even legacy. One of my franchisees once told me a story that changed his life. His four year old son looked up at him one morning and said, daddy, I wish you could have breakfast with us. That moment brought him to tears. He quit his high paying job to start a lawn mowing business. Not to make more money, but to be present for his family. That's what my book, no Other Success is about. The lessons I've learned over 72 years of living, leading and learning the hard way. If you've ever felt torn between success and the things that truly matter, this book is for you.
