I am so honored that Idaho Governor Butch Otter has decided to recognize the men and women entrepreneurs who keep their family first by proclaiming April 20-24 as “Family First Entrepreneur Week” in the state of Idaho.  People who align themselves with this movement are choosing a lifestyle and business model that will support things greater than themselves.  I am so humbled and blessed to be the steward of this message and to have ONO as the vehicle that will spread the word.

I really enjoy having the opportunity to interact with other Family First Entrepreneurs and sharing ideas about how we can be better as parents, spouses, and business people.  Passionate parents gravitate toward one another already, but when you combine that with this business model, there is a synergy that is a force to be reckoned with.  I’m excited to see the mountains we can move as a unified group.

I hope to see things like this continue to happen across this awesome country of ours.  In today’s struggling economy, many families will be thrust into the entrepreneurial world as job opportunities become more difficult.  I hope this movement will inspire people to keep their families first priority as they do so.
