If you've ever wished someone would just give you permission to slow down, this interview is for you. AND if you wonder how to give your kids opportunities to grow in life skills at every age, this interview is for you!I can't even believe how many wisdom bombs my guest today shared -- you might want a piece of paper to take notes, truly -- as we head into summer, it feels like the perfect time to implement some of these ideas. *(note to team - don't include the summer part in the actual post, just FB)*Rob Hughes is a serial entrepreneur and awesome dad of 2, and he comes to us today with his entre-skills and how he applies those also to his very important calling as a father, husband, and caretaker of his physical self. Lots of people strive for "balance," which is what I see in him that prompted me to request an interview. Rob's my neighbor, and when I'd see him at the bus stop, prioritizing that 2-minute walk home with his boys, taking them with him to the gym, and having lots of "hard stops" on work to spend time with family, I saw something I admired. I knew he would be able to break down why balance isn't what he seeks but priorities, and his coaching is for everyone, from household managers who don't pull a paycheck to WAHMs to career parents. We talk about: * Why making priorities is about stewardship, not compartmentalization* Why the decisions we make about our schedules need to be intentional and the deeper story behind "yes" and "no"* An incredible question that all of us should ask, looking into the future -- this one will knock you off your feet if you've had struggles lately, guaranteed.* Two tips about what we must *insert* into our schedule to avoid distress and a habit we must avoid, especially when on social media* A mind-blowing perspective on setting goals, why yours in the past might have failed, and how we can teach our kids to set appropriate goals that they can control* Rob's perspective on self-care as parents and why he exercises 5x/week and starts each day in Scripture* How Rob's experience helping small businesses clarify their marketing can help us be more effective parents* Why 5% is a number that comes up every year at his house (and what happened with kids' budget at Disney!)I can't recommend this interview enough for those who want to raise healthy, independent adults and set doable goals -- we always have skim notes, but you're shorting yourself and your family if you miss this one! https://kidscookrealfood.com/parenting-like-an-entrepreneur/And if you're an entrepreneur or small business owner, track down Rob at https://hughesintegrated.com/Resources We Mention* Take care of mom to take care of the whole family: https://kidscookrealfood.com/healthy-moms/* Mindset by Carol Dweck: https://amzn.to/3z0wwrJ* Connecting with aggressive kids: https://kidscookrealfood.com/parenting-aggressive-boys/* Discipline with no rewards or punishments: https://kidscookrealfood.com/positive-parenting/* Tips to manage stress: https://kidscookrealfood.com/de-stress/* Self-care tips during the pandemic: https://www.kitchenstewardship.com/quarantine-self-care/* Raising free-range, confident children: https://kidscookrealfood.com/raise-confident-children/* Our dessert rules: https://kidscookrealfood.com/how-often-should-you-eat-dessert/* Rob's website: https://hughesintegrated.com/* Rob's podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-thrive-collective-with-rob-hughes/id1528202017* Connect with Rob on social media: https://www.facebook.com/StoryBrandGuidehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/storybrandguide/As an Amazon Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.Visit the Kids Cook Real Food eCourse and see how we teach children confidence in the kitchen: https://kidscookrealfood.comFind all the Kids Cook Real Food Healthy Parenting Connector videos at https://youtu.be/GVRq0m-Ehe4
