Today is my last day to be in my 40's and reflecting on the last 10 years were they successful, great or what?
The Victories are my children, as the last one was born 10 years ago, and the oldest will now be 15 and this time has flown by with tears, laughter, anger and suprises and I cry inside knowning I only have maybe 4 more years with my oldest if I'm lucky!
But was the 40's any good for myself?
My wife and I struggle and those laughs have been few and far between, and to hear her laugh now makes the whole house feel up with warmth, but they are not very often. As for me though it has been a huge struggle in business, from the beginning of the 40's having a child, and a new business with new partners and expectations were great, but greed came into the picture and one of the partners took the dream away due to his greed of not only money, but women. This put everyone into a tail spin financially. But once getting stable there was the sell of the largest piece of business, to be taken away due to mistakes internally, and finally the economy took away much of any steam which was starting to build.
So I toast the 40's and close this chapter in my life book and I mark them as experience, not success but experience to pass on and to move forward.
Where most people built in their 40's their base for their fortunes, I'm still trying to build the platform of mine, but I celebrate the 50's even though I'm a bit heavier, not as fast but more wiser.
It has been a hard 10 years but I have my family, I have my parents still and I still have opportunity and this is what I build on.
Chears to the 40's
Here we come 50
