You were right Matthew, I did love that post from Jonathan. It sounds like something I could do well to try for myself.
And I’d been meaning to get over to Chris’s place to read that post about being a better dad and having finally gotten over there it’s left me feeling a bit sad. I’m all for hard work and making sacrifices but to read the post and some of the comments there, it feels like the entrepreneur is a bit of a workaholic with a higher than average chance of ending up with at least one failed marriage. Sad really.
Desperately searching for some inappropriate humour to lighten the atmosphere of my gloomy comment and failing miserably.
