“AAAHHHGG! Why on earth did I think I could be a dad, and build a business on top of that!?! What was I thinking?!”
“I’m not sure I have what it takes to do this!”
“I don’t think I can keep it up much longer”
Many men who are both dad and entrepreneur are plagued by these thoughts and questions (which often come wrapped in guilt, resentment, and/or shame).
Most of the time this struggle is rooted in a poor concept of what a dad is ‘supposed’ to be. So we need to re-invent our concept of what it is to be ‘dad’, because being ‘dad’ isn't what it used to be. Most of us are stuck with the old instruction manual - if we have any manual at all.
Many of us are just faking it, hoping we don’t ruin our kids lives.
Lets walk together on the journey from being a ‘well-behaved’ dad who is doing what he thinks he’s supposed to and hoping its right, to becoming a ‘high performance’ dad who is clear on who he is, where he and his family are going and why. It’s an exciting and challenging process to be sure. And if you put in the work to being a ‘high performance’ dad, you’ll definitely become a Legendary Dad; one who’s legacy can never be taken away from his children and grandchildren. His legacy is a family that has all the resources they need to live the fullest and best life they can. That’s what makes him a family legend for generations!
I believe we all have what it takes to give our families everything they need from us - whether its physical, social, mental/emotional, or financial needs, I have learned that we are capable of so much more than we ever dared imagine and that thinking we don’t have what it takes is something we’ve learned - it’s an idea that is only true if you choose to accept it.
There are no participation trophies here. If you want the title, you’ll have to do the work. Being a legend doesn’t come easy, but it is absolutely worth the effort!
