I have and always will possess a desire to work all of the time. It fundamentally is how I am made up and fighting it would be futile. Some people like sports and have hobbies or whatever. I enjoy building companies and marketing and well, just about anything that has to do with business. That is my hobby.
About three years ago my life changed dramatically for the better. My son was born and he has been the best thing ever for me. They say children are miracles and that is true of my son in so many different ways.
He is the red headed reason that I don't work weekends anymore and the reason for having a quitting time now (even though I sneak in that couple of extra hours after he goes to bed ). He is the reason for balance in my life.
I usually blog and rant about a little of this and a little of that, but today for a change I am going to exercise balance and simply say thank you to my wonderful son for coming into my life and allowing me the joy of being his father. HE is my motivation in life and will ALWAYS win over work.
Everyone have a great weekend and let YOUR motivation know how special they are from time to time.

There was nothing better than coming home and you'd hear him at the door, in his own "voice" saying "Dad...come on Dad hurry up and get in here!"
