The biggest lie of all time is that you must sacrifice your family for your dreams. No. You can have it all. You can build an extraordinary career, create wealth, have an incredible marriage, and raise amazing children. But if you’re working constantly and never present enough to raise your sons, what exactly did you succeed at? Your sons need their father. They need your attention, your example, your guidance, and your love. They need you to teach them how to become strong, honest, loving men. If you make millions but let your children down, what was the point? Money is supposed to improve your family’s life—not replace you in it. Never become so obsessed with building an empire that you abandon the people you claimed you were building it for. Your family isn’t the price of success. Your family is part of success. Don’t give up your soul for money. Build the dream. Keep the marriage. Raise your children. Be there. Have it all.
