Indiana Sign Pro Asks Himself One Question on a Daily Basis
The answer helps him avoid wasted time.

In order to accomplish a good balance in your life, you must live with intention — understanding your “why” and basing every aspect of your life on that outcome. For Nick, his life fits into three buckets: his faith, family and career. “It is important that I live it out in that specific order, with my faith first, starting each day in the Word,” he says, “then laying out clear boundaries for my work day, so that I can be present for my family.”
Nick accomplishes this by turning off his work priorities to make time for his three kids and wife. By making connections and looking for ways to be a blessing to others, Nick can prioritize helping with his children’s ministry activities at their church and coaching his son’s homeschool basketball team, the Warsaw Bees.
“When you are friends with your customers, it is so much easier to find and do business,” Nick says. “And if they understand my ‘why,’ they respect my work boundaries and we can all succeed!”
