There are a lot of different things that are spinning and connecting when your family sees what you do.
People are no different from flowers. If you water them, they flourish. If you are not nice to them, they shrivel up
If you don't have time for the small things, you won't have time for the big things
You get the idea. Every business, like a painting, operates according to its own rules. There are many ways to run a successful company. What works once may never work again. What everyone tells you never to do may just work, once. There are no rules. You don't learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over, and it's because you fall over that you learn to save yourself from falling over. It's the greatest thrill in the world and it runs away screaming at the first sight of bullet points.
If you look for the best in your employees, they'll flourish. If you criticize or look for the worst, they'll shrivel up. We all need lots of watering.
The way you treat your employees is the way they will treat your customers
Breaking the rules and challenging convention is in the DNA of every successful entrepreneur.

There are certain advantages in being cursed by all and sundry. . . especially, it dispenses you with having to be nice to anybody. . . there's nothing more emollient, stultifying, emasculating than wanting to be liked. . . "not nice!". . . that does it, you're free!.
I eat healthy most of the time. Whole foods are the best for you when you are super active, so I get plenty of fruits and veggies to keep me energized.
