My Daughter Elly +2

I’m obsessed with experiences for my kids. “He won’t even remember going!” But I will. And the bond still builds 🤷‍♂️

I experienced every man’s dream tonight.

There’s one age parents of older kids kept coming back to. A friend posed this question: If you could relive a single day with your child at any age - What age would you choose?

My Sunday mornings have evolved from HUNGOVER to: Taking all 3 kids to the trampoline park. Why? -They get fun & exercise -I get a breath and can let my brain wander (so rare) -My wife gets a (much deserved) break from 3 little ones The lesson? Find what works and embrace it.

I don’t need Masters tickets because my 3-year-old is already preparing to invite me in two decades

On a Disney cruise with my crew! Every time I tap my room card, I hear Mickey whisper: “Margin.” Soaking in all the magic and the memories (did I mention margins)

Every child will one day sleep by themselves. Every child will soon stop requesting to be picked up or snuggled. In no time at all, the toys will vanish as they move beyond them. And their dependence on us will lessen just a bit more than it did yesterday. So don’t let anyone ever guilt you for cherishing every moment of being a parent that you can.

My kids don’t see the stress. They don’t see the work and pressure to succeed. They just see DAD. It’s a good reminder that business has tons of ups and downs. But the truth? No matter how many deals I close, when it’s all said and done They will be my greatest achievement.

Running from the hurricane and trying to find experiences along the way! I’m the definition of a natural risk taker in so many ways But there is ZERO dice rolling when it comes to my family. Be safe everyone in the path 🙏

My sweet little girl, giving me a moment to remember forever.

The excitement for the lead up to Christmas is so wonderful for the kids! What a special time of year.

I own multiple companies, but I also have 3 children One of my personal rules is when I step through the door, I drop my business and pick up my family Here are 3 other rules that help me be a family man and entrepreneur: 1) Put the phone down Our phones give us immediate access to an entire world of connections, information, and pleasure. It's incredibly tempting. The issue? My kids notice. They call me out. Especially as they get older. Truth be told I cannot give them full focus if I am looking at my phone simultaneously. And they deserve my full attention. I love everything our phones offer, but I love being a dad more. 2) Make sure I block off family time I could work late and into the weekends—and it would likely benefit my career. But at what cost? Time with my kids and family? Is that really what I want? Being successful as an entrepreneur is only one component of a great life. I’ll work my ass off during “work time,” but that time with my kids is more precious than anything. I want to be a business man, but I NEED to be a dad. 3) Practice gratitude regularly 5 years ago I had zero kids, now I have 3. They mean more to me than any business, company, meeting, deal, or anything in between. I need to remember what I am doing all this for. I need to remember that money will give us a great life, but love and fulfillment is the ultimate. There will be tough days, that is life. And it’s in those moments, I step back. I realize how lucky I am. I remember I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be a dad, and for the incredible joy it brings me. And gratitude is like magic. Boom, my day is better. THESE are rules that help me be the best father and business man I can be, all at once. - Follow me at @successwithjake for more thoughts on life and business.

Elly: “I am starting to like my sister. I didn’t really like her before” 😂 😂

Steve Jobs on his death bed. Powerful stuff! “Don’t educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy. So when they grow up they will know the value of things and not the price.”

Being gone for a few days and then returning home to showers of love from your kids is the best feeling!
