Allow me to talk to you about committing to a constant and never-ending improvement. When I start thinking about my life, I start thinking about the businesses that we own and some of the things that we've done - it's been kind of 42 years of a constant state of improvement! Trying to move. It's always trying to do better.
One of the things we can do is to ask ourselves tough questions and then you know we've really got to do better as we go forward. I remember a quote that Oliver Cromwell said back, this is you know forever ago, back in the 1600s and he said, “he who stops being better stops being good”. I don't know about you but I don't want to stop being better. I want to be good all the time. I always want to be kind of making some progress - improve in small incremental ways.

It’s OK Occasionally For Your Children To Be Disappointed
Posted by Aaron Walker and the VFTT Team on Jul 1, 2022 9:00:00 AM
It's okay sometimes for your kids to be disappointed. I’m talking about this morning is that when the kids get older and they get out there's gonna be an an area of disappointment that they're going to experience and if they don't experience some level of disappointment today they're not going to be able handle it as adults.
I just want to tell you parents don't beat yourself up today. If there's things that you can't do for your kids and I really see this a lot in in guys that our coach today that have done very very well financially and they think well because I've done well financially I've got to give my kid everything that they want. That is not true! I can just tell you right now that is not true! I want you to give your kids the things that you think that they need and things that they don't need, don't give it to them. I don't care how much money you've got because you're not doing yourself or the kid any favor whatsoever and giving them everything that they want, that's just not reality. That's not what life is going to do for them long term. If you don't teach them to deal with disappointment today, they won't be able to deal with
disappointment as an adult.

What Do You Do When Their Program Doesn’t Fit Your Plan?
Posted by Aaron Walker on Jun 17, 2022 10:03:23 AM
As an entrepreneur for 41 years now, I have faced making difficult decision. Do you make the honorable choice the right decision even when it doesn't fit your plan? How do we expect our children to have a manner that we're proud of them if we as adults are doing these go arounds …… we're finding these loopholes in order to meet our needs? I’d like to encourage you to do the right thing! It is hard! But I want to tell you something. You’ll sleep better at night. There'll be better repercussions as a result of you making great decisions from an integrity standpoint.
