Step-Dad's, you can only Reap what you Sow into your blended family. You can't expect others to simply show you love, respect, and value if you have't completed the necessary "Self-Work" needed to succeed.

To put it simply, you have to sow new values, standards, and routines into your everyday life before you can successful move forward towards your greatness!

Step-Dad's, dont undervalue what you mean to the family, what you bring to the table, and your worth as a leader. You have to maintain a level of CONSISTENT CONFIDENCE if you are wanting to impact your blended family in a positive way! When you "UNDERVALUE" yourself your confidence will diminish and your desire to be great will weaken. You are VALUABLE don't ever forget that!

In order to find real success, as a Step-Dad, you must confront your "Dark Side" if you ever hope to find inner peace and strength. We all have a past that we must deal with everyday. This "dark side" that I am referring to is our OLD habits that we think we can bring into our NEW family.

You have to face your demons Step-Dad's! You have to come face to face with the old you, break them down, extract what you can that may be helpful, and bury the rest. Confront your dark side and you will see the light!

Being optimistic, especially in the first few years as a Step-Dad, can be both beneficial and detrimental at the same time. Why? When we are optimistic we make promises that we can't keep. We see this every year when people make "New Years Resolutions". They plan, write, and share all of their goals but 9 times out of 10 those goals are abandoned before March.

As a Step-Dad we want to promise our blended families "THE WORLD" but when the journey hits a few rough patches those promises fall by the waist side and we end up disappointing ourselves and everyone around us.

So, don't promise anyone but yourself! Promise to work your ass off to become a better YOU first so that you'll be prepared for all the obstacles that are inevitably coming your way!

“You are like this cup — so full of ideas that nothing more will fit in. Come back to me with an empty cup.” Bruce Lee

If you really want to find happiness and success you have to be willing to let go of something of a lesser value in order to obtain something of a greater value. What does this mean? It means you must let go of the old you first before you can become the Step-Dad, leader, and mentor you imagine in your mind!

Don't be afraid to ask for feedback, especially from people who are in your inner circle and know your journey. It's important to take notes and ask questions pertaining "HOW" or "WHAT" you can be doing better as a Step-Dad, husband, and friend.

We need these honest responses from the people that we love because in the long run it can only make you stronger! Ask for FEEDBACK Step-Dad, It's your RESPONSIBILITY to get better every day!~

Practice make perfect is a common phrase told to all of us at one point or another. But, that phrase is bullshit! Practice does not make perfect because you can always better your best. You are always growing, learning, changing and your objective should be to make "Positive Progress" and let go of any false hope of reaching "Perfection" as a Step-Dad.

You are not perfect and you will never be perfect but you can make real progress towards becoming the best Step-Dad you can be!

Along your journey as a Step-Dad you will find that the "BAD" days outweigh the "GOOD" days more often than not. If you are prepared to handle the bad days, and if you're doing the Self-Work, you will see all the opportunities ahead. But, the majority of Step-Dad's fail to do the SELF-WORK and that's when the BAD day's consume their fighting spirit which always leads to fear, doubt, and worry. Look, you can't avoid the bad days no matter how hard you try, but you can prepare for them and that's how you win!
