Instilling Grit in Privilege

Raising kids when you've come from nothing presents unique challenges. Growing up, I knew the weight of words like "we can't afford it" all too well, and I vowed to never have my own kids hear the same. But providing a life filled with luxury—big houses, private flights, and all—is only one part of the equation. The real deal is instilling in them the drive and discipline that got me here.

At home, it's about balance. We live well, but my kids aren't strangers to chores or early mornings. They're rewarded for effort and leadership, mirroring the real-world expectations of contribution and teamwork. It's about more than just maintaining structure; it's about nurturing their spirit of service and ensuring they grow up with the resilience to face life's challenges head-on. It’s crucial they understand the grind behind the shine. #ParentingWithPurpose #RaisingLeaders #LifeLessons
