>$200k and 10 years later, the foundations to business building remain the same

Hello Reader, After
I've learned some expensive yet valuable lessons about building a business. The principles of business building are simple and timeless:
Ideally, this involves doing work you:
While it sounds simple, it's actually really hard to have all these converge at the right time and right place in your life. There are times you'll have one but not the other. Which means you have to make trade-offs. The key is to know what matters enough to keep pushing through for, and what you're willing to walk away from. Because while you can have anything you want, you may not get everything you want at the time you want it. I see a lot of people who want the successful business, but aren't willing to do what it takes - including the old me. Being clear about what truly matters to you, and what you're willing to do for it makes taking action and decision making easy. You know what you're willing to trade off, and what to walk away from, no matter how fantastic an opportunity it seems to you. This is true wisdom, freedom and power. Today, I'm clear about what I want, what I'm willing and not willing to do for it. And that brings me peace of mind, a lot more gratitude and way more joy. Business building is a long term endeavour. You must make it enjoyable to stay the course and persist through the tough times. I didn't arrive to this place overnight. It took >$200k and 10 years of life and business experience to get here.

Four months ago, I did the math on sending both our kids to university in the UK. It would be about $200,000 a year, for three or four years. I had no idea how we would do it. Today, I'm writing this from the UK. I'm here helping my son settle in to his first year of university. I'll tell you how it came together in a moment. But first, what I noticed along the way. $30,000 is not always $30,000 Think about $30,000 of debt. Now think about $30,000 landing in your account as a bonus or as...
The call I wasn't expecting Last week I was in a meeting when my phone lit up with a number I didn't recognize. I let it go to voicemail. A minute later, a text: "Call me back as soon as you can." It was a police investigator. I won't go into the details, but it meant a sudden change to who's helping run our household overnight, no warning. On top of that, my previous boss who brought me into the company was let go and replaced by a new one who was parachuted in by head office. As a result,...
