Twenty years ago today, our family embarked on the biggest adventure of our lives. We left Canada for what would be 26 months of living, sailing, traveling, and home schooling our three children Jocelyn, Kevin, and Allen while we sailed 5,000 miles in the Mediterranean on our sailboat Dragonsinger. As an entrepreneur, what lessons have I learned as I reflect on this milestone?
I used alcohol to power up to try and do more. I even used alcohol to keep me going late into the night while programming a highly complex software product. Today I know this is ridiculous, but then I thought that was my solution to doing more. The reality was that not only was I abusing alcohol, I was not looking after myself.

Many entrepreneurs cope with the stress, pace, lows, and highs of running a business by using alcohol. Alcohol can also take us down and have a massive impact on us and our business. I know. I’m an alcoholic. Fortunately, I have found recovery for many years now. I am dedicated to helping other entrepreneurs like me who realize that alcohol is no longer working for them. There is hope and help. I know, because sobriety not only works for me, but has let me experience the biggest dreams I have ever had for myself. Let’s have a conversation.

There are many reasons to hire a business coach. I share several ones that I have repeatedly seen. I also share a personal story of how uncomfortable I was when I hired my first business coach Kevin Lawrence, and how my experience with Kevin led to my decision to become a business coach myself.
