What are you most thankful for?

Nov 20 2007

This is a great time of year. Christmas is 5 weeks from today, Thanksgiving is in 2 days, and the New Year starts in 6 weeks. My family is coming tomorrow to spend Thanksgiving here with us. We’ll have 14 people packed into our house, and it will be great! (cross my fingers)

So in the spirit of things, what 3 things are you most thankful for?

I’ll go first.

    Family

    Family

    I have the best family in the world! My wife Amy is so cool she has to live in the freezer or she’ll melt. Kaitlin and Alex are 2 amazing kids, I learn something from them everyday. Something that has surprised me is that a lot of what I learn from them is directly related to entrepreneurship and business. Their support is the key to me doing what I do, and doing what I do makes me very happy. And my extended family is great too. My Dad and Mom really helped turn me into what I am today–guess that might be a negative as much as a positive. ;) I am truly lucky to have such an amazing family.

  1. Friends

    2. Friends

    I have some of the best friends in the world. Friends that will come out adventuring with me. Friends that give me advice. Friends that are just plain awesome. Friends that I don’t tell near enough how thankful I am to be blessed with their friendship and relationship.

  2. Entrepreneurship

    3. Sno Cone Entrepreneurs

    I love entrepreneurship. It’s who I am to my core. Entrepreneurship can change the world. Not only do entrepreneurs solve problems and make the world a better place, but the very act of entrepreneurship changes those that participate in it and makes them better people. I really feel grateful that I am now in a position to start helping other people chase their entrepreneurship dreams–whether they’re kids selling Sno-cones at Doba, college or high school students, or first-time entrepreneurs.

These might be the ‘book answers’ for this question, but they really are what I am most thankful for. What 3 things are you most thankful for? Comment away. I’m shooting for a new record on comments: 20 from this post. So share thankfulness freely!

    Mine are pretty standard as well:

    1. Family: I can't imagine life without my wife and kids.

    2. A roof over my head: This is something my father used to always say he was most thankful for. After hearing it for the hundredth time, I finally came to realize just how rare a nice warm house is in the world.

    3. Freedom: I remember watching Don Lapre late night years ago. He used to always say, "America is the greatest country in the world because anybody can start a business just because they want to." Many consider Lapre a con man, but hearing him say that made me love my country again. Hooray entrepreneurship!

    We all may like to give you a hard time about -- well, about everything :-) , but each and every one of us is just as grateful right back. While I hesitate to speak on behalf of anyone else, I will. You have opened doors for so many of us, and you have inspired a lot of us to do things we ourselves thought we could never do.

    Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving to you, Amy, Kaitlin and Alex.
