So I decided to revert back to the blog format for this site, I basically realized that I am not going to need for the forseeable future a content management system, I was just making poor use of the script, so back to the blog.

Now all I have to do is customize it to my liking and tell you a thing or two in it. Originally I had thought this was going to be solely about motivation, but frankly, The Road to Online Success – Words of Experience can handle that pretty well all on it’s own. This site, will be about family.

It will talk about what I do with and for my family, how family affects the decisions I make, and how I think family impacts the decisions of every person who takes a step on The Road to Online Success. Family affects how we work, how we play, where we spend our time and who we spend that time with. Be it the Family we grew up with, or the Family we’ve started of our own.

My family was one of 5 children and two parents, not something you hear about too much anymore, but I’ve managed to start my own family of 3 children and two parents as well. Maybe it’s the two parents part that’s more odd than the number of children my parents had, I don’t know. I’ve been blessed to have had a good upbringing, and hope to be able to do the same for my children.

I decided to work at home because of my family, and am working to create a solid income so my wife can come home too if she wants. Yes, we’re a two income family, as are many these days, and we live on a budget to make sure we’ve got everything we need for our children. Not only have we made sure to have everything we need for our children, we’ve made sure to be there when our children need us, we’ve made it our priority to see to our children’s needs above all else.

So I’m home today, I work from home every day, I work code for a number of friends and associates online, I run my e-commerce sites, and I’m here when my children come home from school. I don’t work 9-5, that’s not enough hours to get what I need done, I work 7:30-3:30, then help the children with their homework, then I’m back to work until at least 6:00, when my wife gets home and then we prepare supper for the family. Sometimes I prepare it, but most times it’s Ying.

And we like it that way, family first, family always.
