\"Your<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When I was getting my Bachelor\u2019s degree, I took an Entrepreneurship class. I must tell you that I am not a young person. I am a middle-aged man that still feels like I am 20 (in my mind only). So, this was a class at the time that was ahead of its time. Not many people took the class at first to really learn the principles, but just as a filler class. That was not the case with me. I saw this class offered and thought\u2013hell yeah\u2013best class ever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a phenomenal professor for this class. He was a self-made successful business guru. By the end of the semester, I think everyone, at some level, got value out of that class. For me I was on cloud 9 for every class, assignment, and test. I ate it up.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Professor made a big deal out of finding your \u201cWhy\u201d in life. What is your Why? Why do you want to build a business or take a certain job or career path? This was way before this became a popular idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our final assignments was a lengthy report on our Why. It had to be detailed, creative, and thoughtful.\u00a0It had to include relationships we wanted, house, vehicles, business, career,\u00a0etc.\u00a0\u00a0I saw in my life that I needed some career experience before\u00a0taking on creating a new business. It gave me a \u201cWhy\u201d when the job I had was tough.\u00a0It kept me going knowing it was training me to someday step out on my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Why<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your \u201cWhy\u201d can be so many things. But, I encourage all of us to find it. The big \u201cWhy\u201d for me in my life right now is my family. The \u201cWhy\u201d for building Limetree Labs is to support and build a legacy for my amazing family. I have an awesome supportive wife\u2014Andrea. She brings peace to the storms I face. I have 3 kiddos. Charlotte, Skyler, and Sophia. They are the greatest gifts ever. Charlotte is our newest. She is just about 4 months old and helps fuel my \u201cWhy\u201d. I just got the coolest mug (see the pic).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me end by saying I am totally copying Sara Blakely<\/a> with this photo.\u00a0I hope she doesn’t mind. I’m a huge fan of all she has done in her life. This mug was so awesome that I had to do the pic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
