When I grow up I want to be an entrepreneur...


As I was driving my 4 year old to school last week I asked the sometimes cliche question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Drew responded with, "A Durham Bulls baseball player."

This whole career discussion reminded me of conversations I had as a young man. Looking back it seemed I only had a few career options: doctor, lawyer, insurance agent (since that's what my Dad did). I'm not sure any one pulled me aside and said, "Have you ever thought about buying a business or starting your own?"

This will not be the case with my son. My goal is to teach him the skills to be in a position to have the flexibility and the smarts to "Do More Faster."
