What Good Is Success If Your Kids Never See You

4 Thoughts to Reflect On

1. Success is not measured only in revenue.
   If your home life is falling apart, the money will never feel like a win.

2. Presence is more valuable than any paycheck.
   Your family remembers how you showed up, not how many hours you worked.

3. Time is the only thing you cannot replace.
   You can rebuild money. You cannot rebuild moments that already passed.

4. Real freedom requires structure.
   When your business depends on you for every decision, your family pays the price.

4 Lessons I Have Learned

1. Money magnifies what is already happening.
   If you are overwhelmed at six figures, you will be overwhelmed at seven.

2. Your calendar tells the truth.
   If family time is not scheduled, it does not happen.

3. Mule behavior destroys relationships.
   Doing everything yourself eventually burns you out and pushes people away. The Magician learns to buy back time.

4. Systems create space for your life.
   Without them, you are always catching up instead of being present.

4 Challenges for You This Week

1. Look at your weekly calendar.
   Is family time a priority or an afterthought?

2. Identify one task you should delegate.
   Stop earning money the hard way and start buying back an hour with your kids.

3. Have one honest conversation at home.
   Ask what they need from you that you have been too busy to give.

4. Read one chapter of Magician vs Mule.
   Use it to remind yourself what freedom is actually supposed to look like.

Quote of the Week

“Do not sacrifice what really matters for what matters right now.” — Unknown

Your kids do not want the version of you who is drained and distracted.
They want the one who chose to be there.

Build money, yes. But build memories too.
