By Jesse Pujji | United States |
Eight ways I am a present father and hardcore entrepreneur:
- Keep a very routinized schedule (MWF get home by 6 to do bedtime, play tennis T/Th at 8 pm, my team knows my schedule, etc)
- Work Sunday afternoons. Get planned and organized each week.
- Delegate aggressively – I have virtually no individual contributor work
- “Work” with my kids. I do email/work when they do Kumon or other stuff
- Fully unplug on Vacation – memories are made when everyone is present
- Master the DAY TRIP – I fly to 3-5 cities a month, with zero nights away (St. Louis helps)
- Partner well – Find great people to be CEOs and team members
- Break the rules – every now and again, I go hard for a week and ask my family for grace, or the opposite: I travel for a week unplanned w the family and ask my team for grace.
