Raising hard-working kids is one of my main goals as a parent because work is one major secret to success in life. I know from my recent reader/listener survey that many of you share that goal and worry about how best to accomplish it. If you fit into that category, you are going to love today’s new episode with Blaine Wiggins.
About Blaine:
Blaine Wiggins is a former Fortune 500 Vice President turned full-time Realtor and Vacation Cabin Expert. He has 20 years of combined experience as an executive business leader, property investor, vacation rental owner/coach, motivational speaker, real estate instructor, and
Greg and I love the Wiggins family and have personally seen the extraordinary things their kids are doing. We have seen them outside working in the yard all year long alongside their parents, even in the heat of the Arizona summer. We have seen them as budding entrepreneurs, starting businesses and marketing their own products.
Curious about what parenting strategies Blaine and Teesha were using behind the scenes to teach their kids to work, we invited them to be our podcast guests. Teesha felt more comfortable listening from the seat next to Blaine in our very professional recording studio (read: a folding table in our Master Bedroom), but we cannot discount her influence in this process.
