My advice to dads and all entrepreneurs...Always be Family Focused. While we can say that Balance is the key...its not always easy to achieve. Here a few tips I give to my clients... 1) Set proper expectations...now Keep Your Promises 2) It must be "Effective" communication with your spouse/fam...not just talk. 3) Yes...technology is cool...TURN IT OFF for a while...It wont kill you! 4) Its about Purpose...more than Profits 5) Saying "No" is one of the most Freeing things you can do...try it.

Whenever I get the newsletters, I read them and then turn around and send them out to about 7 to 10 other dads I know. Some are believers most are not; so this is a really effective tool for ministry. It helps me be a better Christian, husband, dad & friend. The content is well written, relevant, timely, clear and concise. I look forward to the newsletters. I thank the Lord for FD! Thanks Joey, you are appreciated!

It almost seems like it’d be easier to sacrifice for your child like that if they were in that condition. Dobson once said that “when we’re expecting a child we hope and pray that they turn out normal, but then from the moment they are born, normal will never be good enough.” Rather than pushing our kids to be what we think they should be, we should be pushing them like Mr. Hoyt pushes his kid – pushing them through life with support, sacrifice, and unconditional and extremely deep love.

We have 5 kids age 12 13 17 20 23. two boys three girls. I remember in the diaper years thinking man I can't wait until this is over,and now it seems like it was only yesterday. My 20 year old son left for college last year. Although it was only an hour from home, and he came home almost every week, every sunday night when I took him back, I rode home alone feeling anxious and empty.

On the other hand there are other things to enjoy. I have a few years to go before our daughter gets to that stage in life and already it is hard to see her grow up so fast.
