Running a business is no small feat, and doing so while ensuring a harmonious family life requires a delicate balance. As the founder of my first LLC & brain-child, Four Score Solutions, I’ve learned that my success as an entrepreneur is intrinsically linked to orienting myself towards caring for and providing for my family above all else. My wife’s unwavering support and our traditional arrangement, where she manages the home as a stay-at-home mom while I run the business have been the key to thriving both personally and professionally.
My family’s support is the foundation upon which I’ve built Four Score Solutions. My wife and I decided together that she would leave her career as a registered nurse to become a stay-at-home mom, fulfilling a dream she has always carried. Her role in managing our household allows me to focus on growing the business, knowing that our home life is well cared for. Having a family that is well loved and cared for has inspired me to prioritize just that: a strong, resilient family. It became quickly apparent to me that the strength of my family is crucial for weathering life’s inevitable storms.
Every day, my wife ensures that I eat well and take breaks from work. These moments of mental rest, and the time I spend with our 10-month-old son, are vital for maintaining my productivity and creativity. Her attention to my well-being allows me to recharge and approach my work with renewed energy and focus. In return, I am able to properly focus my time at work to be more productive than I’d imagined; a gift which pays off in spades when I’m able to shut my office door and remove the “CEO” hat and put on the “Dad” hat, knowing that I’ve given 100% of what I could give to the company that day.
As I watch my son grow, from his first smile to his current stage of exploration and curiosity, I am reminded of the joy and fulfillment that a strong family provides. These moments of connection and joy fuel my determination to succeed and provide the best for my family. Our family is also growing; my wife is now four months pregnant with our daughter, and the anticipation of welcoming her into our lives only strengthens my resolve.
A strong family orientation is not just a personal choice but a strategic business decision. The support system that my growing family provides enables me to navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship with confidence. Her efforts at home create a stable environment that allows me to take calculated risks and pursue growth opportunities for Four Score Solutions.
In conclusion, the success of Four Score Solutions is a testament to the importance of orienting my thoughts and actions towards family’s needs first and my business needs second. By setting my target on my family, arguably something much bigger and longer lasting than my business, I find the time to watch them grow which brings immense joy and inspiration. This, in turn, fuels me to run my business successfully. My wife’s dedication to our home life allows me to focus on building the business, and our shared commitment to family values has been instrumental in our journey. As we prepare to welcome our daughter, I am more convinced than ever that a strong family foundation is the cornerstone of any successful entrepreneurial endeavor. Here’s to appreciating the incredible partners who make our dreams possible and to building businesses that are rooted in love and support.
