Like most young men on the path to becoming a father, I was afraid. I was afraid I didn't know what to do, I was afraid it would cramp my style but, most of all, I was afraid that I would no longer be able to succeed professionally at a high level.
I had launched and run three businesses before the birth of my first daughter. As the time arrived, I had just experienced my most devastating business loss. It was 2009 and we weren't alone, but somehow knowing others are also in a tough spot doesn't help rebuild your business.
