This month is Father’s Day. Maybe it has you reflecting on the lessons your dad taught you. Or maybe you’re thinking about your own kids and what they might get you this year (hopefully not another tie).
Any way you look at it, family tends to be a very big deal for 40-and-older entrepreneurs. Shown below are a few past posts about entrepreneurs who embraced parenthood fully. Some of these dads wanted to help their offspring (or other family members) and created a new organization along the way. Others used uncommon approaches to manage the struggles of work-life balance.
Here’s hoping these stories make you smile. Happy Father’s Day to all you dads and granddads out there.
