Three things to NEVER skimp on

My Internet business has afforded me many luxuries in life.

I work when I want.

I work on my back porch in the beautiful Florida weather, and I get to walk my kids to school in the morning and pick them up each day at 3:30.

I get more time with them than most fathers get with their kids… And I am grateful.

We don’t live “high on the hog” as my father would say…

Despite our success, we don’t drive fancy cars or live in a huge mansion.

There are, however, three areas where I spare no cost.

The first is my kids, and the experiences I am able to provide them. We travel frequently. We go to the beach alot. Them have access to the best schools, teachers, and technology.

Even before I started my business – When we were still living paycheck to paycheck – I still put my kids first.

It’s really important to me.

The second place I “splurge” is my mental and physical health. I take regular breaks from work to ride my bike, ride my skateboard, swim laps, and do Yoga.

I meditate. I take afternoon naps:-)

I get regular massages and regular pedicures, too. So as you can see, my success has enabled me to treat myself well, which helps me be a better husband and father… And keeps me feeling energized and motivated so I can get more done and spend less time doing it.

The third area where I indulge myself is in my travel. Anytime I have to fly, I fly first class.

Let’s face it: Flying SUCKS. Flying First Class even sucks… But it sucks alot less. With the extra leg room and wider, plusher seats you actually have a chance to sleep, or work.
