We, entrepreneurs, talk a lot
about valuing our business partners,
our customers, our employees.
We discuss ways
to show these important people
that we care and appreciate them.
The members of our families
ARE business partners.
They might not have invested cash
(though many of them do,
working steady jobs
while we ride the entrepreneurial roller coaster).
They might not work directly
on our businesses.
But they do support us emotionally.
They’re there for us.
They help in a million different ways
that we don’t even notice.
Today, if you can,
thank them
by unplugging for one day,
by giving them ALL of your focus,
by reassuring them
that you’re there for them
as they are there for you.
(If you have a business
that serves customers today,
choose another day.)
Give them the gift of time.
