I understand your point that “work hard” is something our parents' generation pushed and promoted. And work should be fun. It's a good point to add to the equation. But it's still hard work, whether you enjoy it or not.

I think the idea that you must work HARD is from my parents generation. It is the value that I was raised with. The older I get, the more I realize that when I relax, allow, move with ease and a sense of humor... the easier and faster my company grows.<br><br>I suggest people look to what is fun, exciting, really juices them up and then pursue it! Then the "work" becomes not work, but something you enjoy. <br><br>For example, I was looking for something so I could stay at home with my now four year old daughter. She LOVES bounce houses....I see they are getting really popular. I now have an internet site where we sell them (she loves them all). And we are starting to work with parents (I call them the parentprenuers!) to start their own bounce house rental business. For $6K, they can have a part time business (mostly weekends and evenings) that can quickly grow into a fulltime, stay-at-home-with-the-kids business. It is all inclusive, simple, fun and something the kids can participate in. <br><br>My husband and I work together (I LOVE that one of your points was to love your wife!!! That is so key to have a happy marriage). And my daughter LOVES to go with us to set up the inflatables...

Indeed men are facing a new age crisis of their own . It is sad our society tends to downplay the importance of men not only as providers , but also as care-takers ( fathers, husbands, sons etc.) While women had their emancipation , and jumped to the job market, leaving stoves and husbands behind, men got stuck with a double load. It might just be my opinion, but i truly believe that a lot of pressure is being put on the men of the 21st century. Your post is inspirational and motivational and gives men that extra thumbs up.Hang in there guys :) Great post. Indeed men are facing a new age crisis of their own .
