Stay At Home Dads - An Interview With Alan Harshman of SAHDSurvival.com

Normally, when we think about the definition of success, our minds immediately make the connection with 'business' success. However, life is not about business - it is about family. Being 'successful' in regards to your familial relationships is the real definition of success.

That being said, I have just interviewed one of the most successful people I have ever interviewed. Alan Harshman (http://www.sahdsurvival.com) is one of those fortunate few dads who made the decision to stay at home. He did this in the interest of helping his children. Though in years past this might have been termed 'unconventional,' this is no longer the case, as more and more fathers are making this important choice.

There is a very important topic that weighs heavily on the minds of those who make this leap - that topic is - survival!

Alan has really stepped forward here by creating a company that specializes in teaching the rest of us 'unknowing newbies' everything we need to know to become a stay at home dad. I, for one, appreciate this immensely, as it won't belong before I'll be dealing with . . . dare I say it? . . . Grandchildren.

Alan Harshman, creator of The Stay At Home Dad Survival Guides, comes from a management and acting background and is a former children’s minister, all of which he says has helped him in his role as a father. He is a father of three; his fourth child recently died en utero. Alan Harshman is dedicated to helping other fathers through his email tips, Survival Guides and speaking engagements - whether they are (or want to be) at-home dads or plan to continue working outside the home full time.
