View from the Summit

Balancing business and family is tough to do right.
Is yours worth the effort? I bet it is.

How do you view family? Is it a meaningful relationship overshadowed with love and compassion? Or, is it an agonizing experience filled with criticism, dishonor and rebellion? 

• Where else but family can you go to talk about the difficult things - where nothing is "taboo"?
• Family is the place where kids can ask tough questions and get honest answers... like, "I don't know, go ask your mother."
• Family is the place where a husband and wife can be vulnerable AND totally accepted just as they are.
• Family should be the place where people are treated like friends

My wife and I have made a conscience effort to not “freely offer” up advice to our grown kids anytime we see them doing something we would do different.

While we believe our own 30 years of child rearing gives us some insights that could be helpful in different situations, we also know the value in letting our kids come to their own decisions about life and family.
