Son made a good point, I should have touques as the mornings are pretty cool, never thought of that but I went to Deere and bought all they had in John Deere and Stihl....don;t have near enough.

Oh that must be a French word? I never used that one before.

I did a search for them and it showed a picture of Bob and Doug Mackenzie LOL



That would be cool to have them with your logo on them. It would be very professional looking.

A tuque (Québécois French: tuque) is a knitted cap, originally of wool though now often of synthetic fibers, that is designed to provide warmth in winter. Most tuques are tapered, they sometimes have ear-flaps, and may be topped with a pom-pon, this style of tuque is sometimes referred to as a sherpa.[citation needed] Tuques may have a folded brim, or none, and may be worn tightly fitting the head or loose on top although the latter is considered more standard. The term originated in Canada.

Thanks Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuque

Andy,

I think it would be every business owners dream to one day pass on his/her business to their children.

How do you think it is best to go about getting kids involved with a family business? How do you think is best to keep them interested in it and create their own internal fire to succeed?

Do you find this is something that is very difficult to instill into children? A first generation business owner usually has to fight tooth and nail to get their business started. If the business becomes successful, the second generation will grow up with the benefits of an already profitable business and that could quite possibly kill any drive to take it and run with it to a new level.
