Child of a Small Business Owner (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218311377)

This book was written in memory of a man, also known as "dad." He was not just any ordinary dad; he was the definition of a true family man. He was someone that never met a stranger and was a successful small business owner for over 35 years. As a child of a small business owner, growing up my upbringing was very unique and what I consider now to be very special. As an adult now with a family of my own, and a professional career of over 20 years working with small businesses, I wanted to share my story. A story of my dad and his journey, but also a self-help book for small business owners as they navigate starting, maintaining, and growing a business.

Throughout your reading, I hope you reflect on your purpose in life. Start by asking yourself a few questions. What is your purpose in life? What are your priorities in life? If you are a small business owner, why did you start a business? Maybe you took over a family-owned business, maybe it was to support your family financially, or maybe you were just looking for a work life balance with a flexible schedule. No matter your reasoning, I hope my story can remind you of your "why" and why you keep going each and every day.

People have always told me, you know how to tell a story, and you really know how to connect with people. I think back to those words, I get it honestly from my father. I also think isn't that why we are all here, to connect with one another. Dad's life purpose was to serve others, work hard, build and grow relationships, provide for his family, and have fun doing it!

I am the proud child of a small business owner. I hope you enjoy this reading and thank you for allowing me to connect with you.
