When I was a kid I watched my Dad spend all day at work trying to prove to others (and maybe himself) that he was a good businessman. He put countless hours in at work. He always disguised his lack of paying attention at home as an attempt to provide for his family. It was a part of family life for millions of families in the 80s and before. I was a little more aware than most young kids. Most kids just wanted their parents at home. I wanted them home too but I also liked having a nicer home. I liked having “cool” shoes and knew that my parents had to work hard to get them and I appreciated it. I selfishly was willing to give up a little family time for some superficial things that made me happy. I also knew early the when I became a parent and had a family I was going to try and figure out how to have both. A family that did stuff together AND have some nice things.
My parents taught me a lot. Some of it was from bad examples, some from good. I learned hard work from my Dad and how to smile and enjoy life from my Mom. Later in life, my Dad gave me opportunity to create my own business by working with him and my Mom taught me that raising your kids is the biggest paycheck you’ll ever get. She also told me don’t rely on my Dad and to make my own path (you can tell they got divorced later 🙂 which made me get in to domain investing and create an entire other income to have just in case the nursery didn’t work out.
But it did work out. It worked out because of my environment. An environment that was conducive for success. Some was probably genetic because I instinctively graduate towards certain things. But much of it was from just looking around and seeing what seemed like normal. It’s what I’ve now started for the next generation, my daughter. I’ve created a normal around her of hard work, curiosity, trying new things, love, and confidence. And then I let her go. I don’t really tell her anything. I just do and know she is watching. She see’s my typing out stuff like this which tells her its good to be open and honest. That an honest life is one worth sharing. That your problems and successes are merely part of the journey and that many others have been there and done that. What you experience probably isn’t new but people enjoy hearing it from a different point of view.
She sees that if you want to be good at something you have to make time and put in the hours to get there. That I get up early so I can do something I really want to do but I can still be there to have breakfast with her every single day. That I built a house close to my work so I can work long hours but be home more than most because I spend less than 5 minutes a day commuting to work. That alone time by yourself is very valuable. That time with friends is just as valuable as with your family. That being your own boss is fantastic but learning to work with others and even for others can get you just as far.
In short. We all go through life growing up, watching, and waiting for our turn. And then it comes. And that’s what people are going to remember you for. What did you do with your turn? What did you leave when you got it? And I feel pretty good with what I did with my shot.

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. I Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by me, Shane . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything I say is based on my own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or my opinion is correct. I hand choose my names but I am paid to make this list by the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good
