Good evening Fastlane Friends,
I'm John from Houston. I'm 37 and married to an awesome wife and have 3 amazing kids. I am blessed beyond measure...but I have an imbalance in my life.
While I am well compensated for my work, demands of my career have ever so slowly consumed me. I leave for work and it's dark and by the time I get home it's dark. Sometimes I take 4am meetings or at 10pm because that's what you get with a global employer. There are more times I eat dinner alone than with my family because they went to bed. There are days where I leave before my kids wake and they are asleep by the time I get home. I've missed milestones in my kids lives and I hate it. I'm tired building someone else's dreams.
This imbalance has caused me to take a deep look at my life and ask tough questions about what I believe, what I want and to examine if my actions have me set on the path to achieve my goals.
I have to admit that I was off course, but I'm fixing that today.
I am here because I want to build, create, and do things that help make people's lives better.
I am here to learn to be more effective in future pursuits.
I am here to be with like minded people who hold each other up to be mutually accountable.
While I may be an employee at the moment, Ive been reborn as an entrepreneur.
