90. {Selah Saturday} What My Dad Taught Me About Entrepreneurship & Hard Work

Happy Saturday! With Father’s Day tomorrow, I just wanted to share a little bit about my dad and how thankful I am for him. I wouldn’t be an entrepreneur today without his impact in my life and the lessons he taught me about hard work and entrepreneurship.

I often share my birthday with Father’s Day and I am thankful I do. I think the day I was born was actually on Father’s Day that year (I’d have to fact check that with my mom). But both are special days and I love my dad so much. So, in honor of Father’s Day, I wanted to share a bit of my story, give you a little behind the scenes look into Ashley June.

I’ve talked about this before, so you might already know, but I grew up working at my dad’s auto body shop. He was a teacher at a local community college prior to that, and we were in a position where we didn’t have much money. I was qualifying for free lunch at school, and we just weren’t thriving as a family. That spurred my dad into action, to take a risk and start a business.

He had followed all the steps that other people thought he should, he went to college even though it wasn’t really what he was into. He’s a gear head, he loves working with his hands; not sitting, reading, taking notes in college classes. But, he graduated college so he could get a good job like others wanted him to. He actually started fixing cars as a teenager, but his mother didn’t like that, she wanted him to go to college. It’s interesting that he didn’t do anything with his degree, but ended up building a business where he was able to do what he loved, support his family, and wasn’t going to be financially stuck for the rest of his life.

I just pray that everyone can have peace on this day, that you will cherish your dads. Whether it’s your Abba Father, or your earthly father, I just pray that you can cherish that relationship.
