Today my hope is that through this post, we will connect on a deeper level and you can gain a better understanding of what to expect from this platform in the coming weeks and months.
You will also get a glimpse into our values, philosophies, and beliefs and you will learn how this blog can support you on your fatherhood journey.
And finally, you will receive practical advice to achieve a Quick Win, intentionally designed to enrich your life as a single father.
First Things First
At Business of Being Dad, we believe that:
- YOU are the only person who gets to decide what kind of Father you will be.
- YOU are the only person who gets to decide what kind of Man you will be.
- YOU are the only person who gets to decide what kind of Legacy you will create.
What does all that mean?
It means we don’t make excuses. We don’t blame other people for where we are today. (Not our ex-wives or our bosses or our kids….nobody!)
We take ownership of our past, present, and future. We make amends. We commit to consistent and intentional growth.
And we commit to making a positive and lasting impact in the lives of our children.

What the Blog is About
At the heart of this blog is a commitment to empower fathers on their unique journey of parenthood.
The Business of Being Dad is dedicated to helping you thrive not only as a father but also as a leader, cultivating a legacy that makes you and your family proud.
Here, we’ll dive into a diverse range of insights, advice, and stories that touch upon the core aspects of life that matter most.
Who the Blog is For
While this platform is designed to resonate with all fathers, it holds a special place for single fathers who bravely navigate the rollercoaster of challenges and joys that come with parenting on their own.
This is a space where your experiences are understood and celebrated.
Introducing Myself
Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Rob Rohde, the founder of this blog and the host of the “Business of Being Dad” podcast.
As an online coach, course creator, and business owner, my mission is to support and guide single fathers as they navigate the challenges of parenthood, work, and life, and to inspire them to create a safe and loving home for their children to thrive.
I am a single father of five remarkable daughters who have experienced significant trauma and loss. I’ve journeyed through the ups and downs of parenthood.
I felt the struggle of balancing parenting, work, and social obligations, making it difficult to build meaningful connections with my kids. I felt the specific challenges that single fathers face, including lack of direction, inadequacy, and guilt. I’m here to offer support, guidance, and hope!
With 25 years in pediatric healthcare and an MS in Management and Leadership, I offer a unique blend of personal understanding and professional expertise.
The Core Pillars: Ownership, Growth, Impact, Legacy
This blog is rooted in the principles of ownership, where we take control of our lives, past and present, while shaping our future with intention.
It’s about the unwavering commitment to growth, the insatiable thirst for learning, and the tireless pursuit of becoming a better version of ourselves.
It’s also about embracing impact, crafting intentional footprints in our family, career, and community. And it’s the embodiment of legacy—our ultimate desire to leave behind a mark that resonates for generations to come.
What to Expect
Each blog post is a heartfelt offering, blending practical insights with thought-provoking reflections.
Every piece of content will include a “Quick Win.” These are actionable tips that promise immediate positive change, allowing you to apply newfound wisdom in real time.
Posting Schedule
To get things started, we’re launching with three blog posts, including this welcome post. Moving forward, you can expect a new post every Monday, ensuring you have an empowering start to your week.
Additionally, keep an eye out for occasional “Bonus content” for added value. Within the Bonus content, you will find expert interviews, reviews, and step-by-step guides to assist you on your path to success.
Quick Win: Embrace Continuous Growth
As promised, let’s wrap up with a Quick Win. The path to success begins with a commitment to growth. By consistently expanding your skills and knowledge, you empower yourself to create a meaningful impact on your family, career, and community.
Here are some tips to help you get started:
- Set Learning Goals: Define specific areas for personal and professional development. Start simple and expand later. The key is to gain some momentum.
- Read Actively: Dedicate time each day to reading materials that inspire and challenge you. Try to make it fun, exciting, and relevant. (I’m one of those nerds who thinks personal development is actually fun!)
- Seek Feedback: Embrace constructive criticism from mentors and loved ones to accelerate your growth. Be open-minded and assume positive intentions. Remember, these are people you trust AND you asked for the feedback!
- Reflect Regularly: Set aside moments for introspection and journaling to track your progress. Celebrate successes and challenge yourself to grow further.
Summary: Cultivating a mindset of continuous growth not only empowers you to own your life but also enables you to create a legacy of positive transformation for yourself and future generations.
Take Immediate Action
Knowledge without action is wasted potential and the sooner you put your knowledge into practice, the sooner you will notice the results.
Select one actionable step from above and commit to implementing it today. Small, consistent, incremental steps lead to transformative change. Over time, incremental improvement leads to exponential results.
Don’t keep this to yourself—share your decision to embrace growth with others. Not only will it increase your likelihood of success, but it will also inspire those around you.
