Celebrating those victories every chance you get!!!
« on: November 07, 2013, 08:05:37 AM »
As a parent entrepreneur, finding that balance is a struggle.  What I have learned is to celebrate the victory moments when it all falls in to place.  And on the SUPER RARE occasions that multiple victories happen on the same day or even with in the same hour…. well, thats what I call a Prince moment and you gotta Party like it’s 1999!!!  Example this morning I managed to wake up before the alarm ( victory #1)  -Shower and get dressed (victory #2) – get 3 kids up and dressed with no arguments (victory #3) – make pancakes from scratch (victory #4) – empty the dishwasher (victory #5) –  clean up my “June Clever” breakfast (victory #6) and get the kids to the bus on time (victory #7)  All before 6:45AM!!

So on my drive into work I turned on the only Prince song in my iTunes library and I Partied like it’s 1999 all the way down main street!!

 

There really is so much more to what we do than just putting ink on a t shirt!!!

Talk to you soon!!

Hell Megan, for those of us who have partied like it was 1969, just getting up each morning is a victory!

Enjoy yours!

This thread makes me happy for multiple reasons as a younger guy (just turned 30 - victory #1) who is about to transition to printing full time (victory #2) and has a kid on the way (victory #3).  I ate a breakfast bar for breakfast though and I don't have an ipod... :D

Great post and replies. Waking up every day is a victory. Wife was sick yesterday so instead of leaving at 6, had to make breakfast (eggs and sausage) load dogs into truck, wait for bus since pouring rain, drop dogs at vet, and then deal with bad traffic. I think they were all victories.

Brad, you should bring your wife to a real doctor... and never let her know you are calling her a dog. ;)

Happy Birthday Dave.  I turned 52 on Tuesday the 5th.

November is a popular month, my odometer clicked over to 57 on the Tuesday 5th also.

Victory 1 woke up after 3 hits of the snooze button (this never happens usually up before the alarm)
V2 at the shop by 3:45 to coat 45 screens so Megan had something to print with out of the shop by 5.
V3 arived in NY by 7:30 with no traffic
V4 all the parts I had ordered were at the job site.

Down side forgot to eat breakfast, no pancakes for me And it's raining which means it will be a long ride home.

...small world, I also count an extra tree ring on Nov. 5th. Turned 43 on Tuesday.

...we should proclaim it National Worn-Out Screenprinter Day or something like that.
