Do you also sometimes feel this?

By no means do we think or feel we are better parents or have the ability to tell our partners how to be good fathers. But, in general, dads are less involved with the kids day-to-day running and often hard at work to support us financially.

Dads who respect their wives are not only growing their marriage but also building strong family bonds, setting a good example for their kids and teaching them how to strengthen their own relationships in the future.

All dads are not business entrepreneurs. But, they need to be life entrepreneurs.

Wondering what a life entrepreneur is then?

In my opinion, a life entrepreneur is someone who creatively builds a life with passion and dedication. Doing so with what they have rather than longing for what they don’t.

Dads who are therefore life entrepreneurs teach their kids the importance of life goals, stimulates their creativity and boost productivity.

When parents are passionate about life, time management is improved and free time increased. This directly impacts the child’s life, allowing for more relaxed family time.

Why not, take some time out as a parent, and allow yourself time to think about how you can be more creative and innovative and create a better family life.

career Passion

Evidence has shown people who hate their jobs are unhappy, stressed and have a shorter life expectancy. Avoid this by choosing a job you love or when this is not possible, at least try to change your attitude by being more positive about it.

Parents going to work grumpy because they don’t enjoy it and then coming home even more grumpy after a day spent at a job they don’t like, are not fun … And, unfortunately, this rubs off on the kids.

Emotionally involved

Creative budgeting

Having a budget removes stress from the rest of your family, knowing exactly what they have to spend and allowing to save for specific events. When kids know and understand your financial situation it prevents a lot of arguments over what they can or can not have.

Teach them how to work with money, save money and plan for needs. This is a life long skill your kids will appreciate in the long term.

Taking care

Family stress is also easily reduced when dads are involved and actively taking part in family living. Give it a try.
