I'm gonna be a dad.. Did I just lose the Fastlane?

[Chris McCarron]

1. Are there negatives to being a dad? Yup.
2. Will you get less shit done? Yup.
3. Are there more positives than negatives in business to being a dad? Hell yeah!
4. Will you do better in business? If you use it correctly, then Hell yeah!

I want to expand a little on my fourth point: You'll be able to connect with more people in business on a personal level because you'll be able to associate your daily life with their's.

Additionally, a lot of funny stuff happens that helps to remove mental barriers about what you would like to propose. I.e. I often talk about the time my son was shooting me with Nerf bullets while I was on a call worth $85k.

Finally, you stop being afraid and putting things off the moment you think about how you need to do it for your family... Not for yourself.

Sounds simple, but insanely effective.
