For many years Daddy has been an Entrepreneur. He has always been a wonderful business man, hardworking, honest, straight forward, having a good work ethic and integrity. Because he works from home he has been able to incorporate the entire family in the business whether it be with billing, advertising or extra workers to help him clean pools.
He is teaching his sons to be hard workers and providers by taking them with him to work alongside him, and Robert practically knows everything that goes into cleaning the pools and handling the equipment!
Because Daddy has been in so many avenues of business, we girls have very rounded work experiences since we were his primary work crew before the boys came along. We’ve folded, sticker-ed and stamped mailing envelopes, delivered door hangers door to door, set up workshops, loaded trailers for the dump, landscaped and ever since coming to Texas, cleaned pools!
A benefit about having a big family when you run your own business is that people take you seriously and customers are better at ease when they realize our business is a family effort. (Or so customers have told us!) So many people today are worried that if you choose not to send your sons or daughters to college, they will end up becoming a burden on society, with out the skills needed to hold down a job or better yet, run their own.
This is not the case.
Not if parents take the time to raise their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord, and train their sons to be providers and hard workers, creative and trust worthy, and their daughters, versatile keepers of the home able to tackle the laundry, cook hearty, healthy meals for their family and change diapers, or push a lawn mower (in a skirt of course!)
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6
