11. Don’t forget the fun
When I meet the Big Man in the sky someday, I’m never going to say, “S***, I wish I had spent more time at the office.” One of the major reasons why I’m an entrepreneur is because I don’t have to punch a clock.
One thing that gives me the most joy on the weekends is attending my son’s soccer or basketball games, which I rarely miss. It’s fun, charges me up for the week, and relaxes me — unless it’s a close game! And nothing beats a good Saturday afternoon nap.— Steve Griggs, founder and CEO of Steve Griggs Design; NYC’s premier landscape designer transforming backyards and rooftop gardens into private getaways
