The Moment That Changed Everything for Me as a Dad and Business Owner

Dad discovering how to grow his small business

A powerful story about how one moment at the playground inspired the creation of Super Simple Pro — a system that helps small business owner dads grow their business without missing what matters most.

The Moment That Started It All

During COVID, I promised my son I’d take him to the playground.
When I was pushing him on the swing, my phone rang.

In that instant, I had a choice:
Do I answer the call and ruin the moment with my son,
or let it go and risk missing a business opportunity my family depended on?

That tension hit me hard. I felt torn between providing for my family and being present with them.
And I realized something that changed everything:

“There has to be a better way.”

The Tension Every Entrepreneur Dad Understands

At the time, I was building a new business as a real estate agent.
Weekends meant open houses — time away from my family — plus hours afterward manually entering contacts and following up with every visitor.

I was exhausted, and worse, I felt guilty.
When I was working, I felt like I wasn’t with my family enough.
When I was with my family, I felt like I wasn’t working hard enough to provide for them.

It felt impossible to win at both.

The Turning Point

After that playground moment, I made a decision:
I was going to find a smarter, simpler way to grow my business.

That’s when I discovered marketing automation — software that could collect leads and automatically follow up for me.
For the first time, my business didn’t require me to be glued to my phone.

I started building and refining systems that worked behind the scenes — freeing up hours every week to be fully present with my family.

How Super Simple Pro Was Born

Then God showed me He had a bigger plan.
He wanted me to help other dads experience the same freedom.

That’s when I created Super Simple Pro
a simple marketing system that helps small business owner dads:

✅ Attract new customers
✅ Keep them coming back
✅ Gain the freedom to invest more time in faith and family

My customers tell me they feel relief — like they finally found the solution they didn’t even know existed.

The Mission Continues

I no longer live in that tension I felt at the playground.
Now, I’m on a mission to help other dads grow their business without missing what matters most.

Because as fathers, our businesses should serve our families — not steal us from them.
