There's five key ingredients that help me remain both driven and parent. They're my own five P's (how convenient!): Purpose - Patience - Presence - Productivity - Persistence PURPOSE: Not only find what you're here on earth to do, but realize that by pursuing it you become a purposeful role model for your kids. PATIENCE: Any great thing takes time to build. The same goes for a great family. So as parents we need to double the patience. PRESENCE: Whatever our parenting style, from authoritarian to permissive, nothing is more enriching for our relationships than to be fully present with our loved ones. PRODUCTIVITY: Because a parent's time is scarce, and we still have work to do, we need to make the most of the few free hours we have left. PERSISTENCE: There will always be hardships along the way, and grit and mental toughness are great tools to help us push through. Those are my top five. Can you relate to any of them? Any other come to mind?

Do you ever feel like you'd be better off without kids? Man, this feeling is B.R.U.T.A.L. But if you're a driven parent with big goals, that nasty thought might creep in your head a little too often for comfort. Would you like to fight back and kill that thought once and for all? As a budding filmmaker, I quickly felt like parenthood was a major hindrance to my career development. And for almost ten years, my biggest fear was to never be able to move past my regrets about becoming a father. Fortunately, I'm an avid learner. And even though my filmmaking goals were becoming more and more blurry, I still kept on trying to better myself. One day something clicked: fatherhood suddenly stopped feeling like an obstacle and started to fuel my drive. Looking back I figured out a simple system that turns parenthood into fuel for our goals. And the happiness I've been feeling ever since is so powerful that I just have to share it with as many struggling parents as possible. That's what this community is all about! So hurry up and join us, because your kids won't remain so for very long!
