Over the past several weeks I’ve been in the process of more narrowly defining who I would most like to help as a coach.  I want to work with individuals who I strongly relate to and empathize with.  I believe this allows me to provide the greatest value as I reach out to others to help them deal with change in their lives.  As I thought about the changes I’ve experienced in my own life one of the biggest moves I’ve undertaken intentionally was to become a stay-at-home-dad (SAHD).  This is something my wife and I discussed and agreed to do and it has been an incredible experience, though not without its challenges.

Because it can be very challenging for dad’s to make the transition, I thought, what better way to help others than to find ways to help men who are or may soon be a SAHD.  And to make it more interesting, I know there are dads out there who want to work on the side and are trying to balance all the different aspects of being a SAHD with trying to start a small side business or maybe keep their toes in the work they were involved in previously.

So over the next several weeks I’ll be writing about my journey as I became a SAHD and how things have changed over the past three and a half years.  I’ll touch on the biggest challenges and what I did to address them, as well as some of the ways I was able to setup a working relationship with several companies to be able to continue working in my “free time”.
