I’m a self employed father of two young boys and husband to a beautiful wife. Running the business, trying to hire and expand, keeping up with estimates, invoicing, meeting with customers... it all takes more time than most think. I tend to work 50-100 hours a week. Sometimes half my hours are off the clock. It can definitely be overwhelming. I’ve gotten used to it and love what I do. I’ve gotten lucky enough to have an extremely understanding and supportive wife. That makes all the difference in the world. I don’t know how I’d cope without her! The first few years we were together was when business was rough. We were trying to regrow and prove ourselves. It was extremely hard and at times she definitely wished I had a normal job with normal hours and less stress. But we’ve pushed through and push everyday. Business keeps growing and we’re getting better and better at staying organized. I love what I do and couldn’t be happier. I’m not the kind of guy who can clock in and clock out without caring. I work hard and want to prove myself in everything I do. No matter how hard it is, the reward and satisfaction I get from my job is definitely worth the struggle. I know that my passion and push will make things get better and better and things will definitely pay off the longer I keep at it. That is in fact the true definition of “the American Dream.” Hard work and passion is the only way to get the reward and nothing feels more rewarding than a hard earned honest living.
