Why You Need To Give Up Some Control In Your Family

You can have control or you can have growth, but you can’t have both.-@CraigRoeschel Have you ever had an argument with yourself?  Where you are the only person in the room and there are two voices in your head battling it out.  This is what happened to me when I heard the quote from Craig. I love to have control.  I think it is because if something goes wrong I want to be the one to blame.  That way I don’t have to take fault in anyone else. This is what the argument was all about.  I didn’t even want to give up control of my thoughts on growth.   The good news about having an argument with yourself is that Read more…

The Business In Family

Why do we run our family with business principles?  Because Jim Collins said so of course! Well maybe he did not say so but in his book Good to Great Jim taught me more about parenting than I think I have ever learned in any other book.   What Jim was teaching in his book were proven examples of how businesses were able to take their organizations from good to great.  I am a struggling parent who tries really hard and wants the best so as I started applying business principles to my family I figured the worst that could happen is I settle on good and maybe my wife can make it great.  She always takes things from good Read more…

No More Tolerating Today

A national day of gratitude.  This Thanksgiving I am sure I fall into the category that most of us do where we consider ourselves blessed.  When all is said and done today is a day like any other day.  The difference is we set aside time to look for the things we have and not the have nots.

The Hinges Of Life

  When you look at your family what do you think the biggest competition is? Just like in business your family has all sorts of competition out there. It may be other organizations that are trying to chip away at your family values or some other activity that is vying for your time and taking you away from your family. Sometimes this competition might seem overwhelming and there is nothing we can do to win.   When those times come I want you to go to your closet. Yes, your closet! I know what you are thinking, maybe I should just pick out those comfy close and just climb back into bed. We all know that comfy closes and climbing Read more…

Every Family Needs A Vision

When our son was born our world was a whirlwind of new experiences. Not only were we first-time parents but he spent the first 3 weeks of his in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit). During this time we spent a lot of time at his bedside and only left for a couple hours of sleep or when they would kick us out for nurse shift changes. As we worked with him to meet the milestones of progress he needed to be able to leave and go home with us for the first time there were many things we learned.   As he progressed one of the “tests” they would put parents through who had children who were going home Read more…
