Top 4 most memorable days?

1, 2, and 3: Birth of my 3 sons

4: Driving home a new travel trailer

I remember it like it was yesterday.

I white-knuckled the entire drive home...

...wincing at every creak of the trailer

...grimacing at every breeze that blew me out of my lane

But I made it home.

In the summer of 2020, I was in a brand-new red Chevy pickup truck towing a brand-new 32-foot Wildwood trailer.

I barely knew how to drive the truck.

But I'd never towed a trailer in my life.

Minutes before my maiden voyage, I received a 12-minute orientation from the RV dealership.

It was a crash course in cords, wires, tubes, hoses, and switches.

It was like they handed me an 8,200-pound, 32-foot baby.

I retained none of the information, fired up the truck, and, terrified, drove away.

Now, four years later, I've got it all figured out.

We just arrived in Glenwood Springs from Granby (2 epic Colorado Mountain towns) and I whipped through the mountain passes with one hand on the wheel.

Parking was a breeze.

I ignore the creaking and swaying.

It's all part of towing a trailer.

Business is like that, too.

In the beginning, everything feels new and scary.

You're excited by the possibilities of what's to come, but every little hiccup feels enormous.

In trailering and business, I've learned to just keep going.

You don't get better at towing with the car in the garage.

You don't get better at online business sitting on the sidelines, either.

You have to get out there and experience it firsthand.

White knuckles and all.

You got this,
