As near as I can tell, I have met and briefly talked with three billionaires: Michael Jordan, Jon Huntsman Sr. and Larry H. Miller. I've also read a few books by each man.
Last week I reflected on these three billionaires as I read Barefoot to Billionaire by Jon Huntsman Sr. Although my childhood dream was to be a billionaire, I've concluded that working 100 hours a week and giving up my family would NEVER be worth it for me.
Michael Jordan lost his wife in his quest. Larry H. Miller admitted his greatest mistake in life was neglecting his family. And Jon Huntsman Sr.? Too many hours away from his family was his lament too.
Money is awesome!
But true happiness comes when wealth and time are wielded in defense of family, not at the expense of family.
