My family is full of superheroes, to me and Janice, the glue of our family.

My wife and I have been blessed to raise two healthy, loving sons who have found great career paths, learned to save and invest their money, and own real estate at a much younger age than we were able to do.

They are early in their careers, and learning to work well with others is an art. The art of working well with others is one of the most powerful things my father taught me as his eldest son. He was an entrepreneur and fostered in me a burning desire to work for myself, which I have done for more than thirty years.

Clifford Jones, Jr. was a gentleman and spirit. I’m sure he was a modern mystic, but neither knew it when he was alive. I figured it out years later by studying the ways of the many mystics of many faiths. They all know the power of love. RIP, dad.

What can mystics teach us about working well with others? There is a lot for anyone willing to learn from our elders and others' mistakes.

“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.”

— Muhammad Ali
