When I was growing up, I started to dream about my life.
One idea that I also pursued was that I wanted to have a family.
I knew that I wanted to get married and have kids.
I wanted to provide for them and I wanted to spend my time with them.
As I got older, reality started to settle in.
What I was studying would maybe make some money.
It would get us food on the table, but not much more.
Maybe if I settled for a career in the field,
a company would pay enough at some point.
When I met my wife, we started talking about our life.
We both wanted her to be a stay-at-home mom,
so she could focus on the family at home.
That I would provide and also be part of raising the kids.
This turned out to be pretty hard.
Most families today need two incomes, because one is just not enough anymore.
It also became harder to have a career without sacrificing the family for it.
There I was now—
Back to the little boy, with the dream to be both present for my family and provide for them.
The reality didn’t seem to like that dream anymore.
That’s when I came across the business route.
Becoming an entrepreneur seemed to be the answer.
Since reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, I was hooked.
All I had to do was build a business and that would mean
I’d become a Present Provider…
