Business Will Always Be There: What a Devastating Diagnosis Taught This Father About Priorities w/K Watanabe | Ep 33
As parents, our families matter and rank at the top of our priorities, but sometimes we let business rise to the top of the list. We become so focused on the next deal that what we truly love gets lost in the shuffle.
This was the reality for K Watanabe, until his son was diagnosed with a tennis ball sized brain tumor. 2 brain surgeries, 6 rounds of chemotherapy and months in hospital were devastating and difficult, but it taught him to reprioritize.
We don’t have to wait for a catastrophic event to reprioritize, it’s something we can do right now. In this episode, K shares his family’s story, how his son’s illness impacted him and how he’s using it to impact more people.
Business will always be there. If you focus on the basic principles, it will never go away, regardless of what’s happening in the world. -K Watanabe
