The Best Piece of Advice my Father Gave Me

For Father’s Day, we asked our members to share the wisdom they’ve received from their fathers. Here are their touching responses.

Nancy Spooner, Founder and CEO of Tempo Live Events, Inc.

“Always do more than your share. If you are 5 min early you are on time. If you are on time you are late.”

Sarah Dupree, Owner of Dream Weaver Media

“You’ll spend a majority of your time working as an adult, make sure you love what you do.”

Rose Mills, Founder of Rose Mills Influencer, LLC

“My dad’s best advice to me was not so much in words but how he lived his life which set the example for me. So when I launched my business four years ago and came across this quote, it was as if my dad was speaking to me because it describes exactly what he taught me: “I’ve been too busy working on my own grass to notice if yours is greener”. My father taught me to never judge or envy anyone or what others had. He taught me to be confident and courageous, to be kind to people and to always be grateful, even when faced with challenges. And each are, and remain, key values and guiding principles that represent and lead my business. “
