ONO- The Family First Entrepreneur
Here is a new excerpt from ONO that defines “Family First Entrepreneur.” Enjoy.
The Family First Entrepreneur
In the introduction, I mentioned that I was on the path to being a Family First Entrepreneur. These three words came from a brainstorming session I had while on a road trip. I was trying to come up with a “simple idea” that cut to the marrow of how I see myself as a person. When I voiced the words, “Family First Entrepreneur,” I realized I had created a statement that was simple enough and powerful enough to create a movement.
A Family First Entrepreneur is someone with an entrepreneurial mindset who keeps his or her family first.
As we look more deeply into this definition, we must acknowledge that when business people put their families first, those two elements—business and family—affect one another in profound ways. For example, when I want time with my kids, that choice relates to and has a direct effect on the time I spend on business and other endeavors.
Family First Entrepreneurs make business choices based on the potential impact they will have on their families first, and on business profitability second.
People who align with this principle realize that their families’ ability to function properly also affects their businesses. There is nothing like family trauma to make a day at work both unbearable and unproductive. They realize they need a healthy marriage and family life to be their best while producing a living. At the same time, making a good living is part of keeping your family healthy and safe, so a successful business is one of the best gifts you can give to the people who depend on you. Family First Entrepreneurs need a healthy work-life balance, because the two are so interconnected.
Lastly, Family First Entrepreneurs have an attitude about wealth creation that puts the goal of building wealth for the enhancement of their family first, and for material possessions second.
Whether you’re an empty nester, a single person, or have chosen not to have children, you still have a “family.” If you are someone who puts your family first, who wants work-life balance, and who would enjoy creating wealth entrepreneurially, I welcome you.

When we put the important
When we put the important things first, like family, they don't get left in the dust with the craziness of life. I applaud you for the work you're doing. Your book sounds especially fascinating.
How would you feel about me interviewing you for my show? My listeners are people who have either 1 or more serious physical (sometimes stress-related) disorders. I'm talking about Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
The audience of people in those two groups is over 10 myn. Well, that only makes a difference because there are so many suffering, hurting people, many of whom have lost their jobs, and many whose lives are turned upside. Some of them have no idea how they're going to live out the week, much less the year.
And what is so dramatic about those statements is that most of these same people are a lot like you and I... wanting to get on with their lives. Wanting to make a difference. Wanting to be successful.
Let me know. I'd love to chat,
