Family and true friends should be the reason to accomplish anything in life.  Why do we work?  What motivates us?  It shouldn't be the money.  It shouldn't be the recognition.  It should be about being able to provide for our wives and children that we have been entrusted with.  This brings us pure joy and satisfaction.  It is a hard balance sometimes.  The way we do work has changed with technology.  There really is no 9 to 5 anymore.  Work can follow us home 24-7 especially for entrepreneurs.  A lot of them are one man shows who wear all the hats in the business.  It has become very difficult to separate personal time and professional time.  It is important to make rules and to live by them no matter what.  Family should always be just as important or most important in our lives.  If we lose focus and lose family then what do we have?  I understand that the work of an entrepreneur becomes very important.  It’s our baby.  We want it to become the best.  This is where we can get into trouble.  It’s that balance we need to keep.  This is why making rules and sticking with them is vital.  We need to keep our families along the ride to success.
