Being a business owner can be one hell of a ride and being the proud parent of a delightful 14 year old I have started to see the similarity between him trying to make and find his way in the world and me trying to grow and develop the business. He won't thank me for comparing his coming of age with my company finding it's feet - so best not mention it if you meet him!
Each day he seems to discover a little more about the man he wants to be - and each day we discover a little more about the sort of company we want to be.
He learns about the things he cares about and how to express his passions so they enthuse and excite those around him and we do the same.
