Tribute to Entrepreneurs - Part III

Tribute to Entrepreneurs Part III - Dad's Letter To Son https://www.marketing360.com/ --- Script: Son, Ive battled this illness as long as I can and given it all Ive got but Gods calling me home now. Thus, Im writing you this letter in my final days on this earth in hopes that the lessons Id prayed I could have taught you while being at your side over the course of your life will instead be taught through this ink and paper right now. Ive given your mother several other letters on things like love, friendship, faith and more which shes been instructed to give to you when the time is right, but this letter Id like to give you now. Its on business. Like your great grandfather, grandfather and myself, youre born to be an entrepreneur son. Ill not be around to assure you of this at the moment you feel the calling to start something new, but are scared of the unknown, so just trust that you are. Its in your blood. Dont deny it. Be proud of it. Entrepreneurs fuel the economy, provide jobs, build communities, shape our culture, fund charities, ignite ideas and change lives. They make the world a better place. When you grow up and youre ready, pick something of your own to start son. Pick something youre passionate about and inspires you. Charge a reasonable price for it and then provide unreasonably excellent value for it. It will be hard - the most difficult thing youll ever do. But dont give up. Ill be watching you and rooting for you. Be a great leader and pay your people well. Dont be selfish. And dont just inspire people to be good at their job but to be good people. Care for their success in work and life, not just work. Set high goals and demand greatness of your team. And grow, dont settle for sideways - attempt to grow quarter after quarter, year after year. The bigger you get the more people you can help son. But dont get consumed by it. Keep your family first. Start your days many hours before the rest so you can have time to spend with your wife and kids. Nights and weekends arent for work, their for family. When you hit a wall seek the advice of those smarter than you, but in the end, remember to always do what you feel is right for youll be criticized anyways. In times of doubt, read this letter, and pray for wisdom. When not in doubt, pray for humility and give thanks. Build something incredible son. This life is short, make the biggest impact you can. I demand it, as I know you demand it of yourself. I love you. I will miss you. And I want you to know Im your biggest fan now and forever.
