As Erik puts the finishing touches on his book Million Dollar Journey, his editor told him that he needs an acknowledgments page. He talked about these people throughout the book but he wrote more specifically on these pages how these different groups helped him in writing this book and getting to this point.
It started with his father who started a video store where Erik worked nights and weekends. It taught Erik so much in leadership, deadlines, making, and keeping promises to your boss. He picked up so much wisdom on how to interact with people.
And more recently, he wants to thank his wife Lia who has to deal with the ramifications of all the initiatives Erik does. He also went into business with her and it was a tough time but they learned so much going through it together.
