The secret to a long successful life? You have to work for it

Knowing all too well what it meant to be poor, Josip Babich taught his children that to succeed in life, you needed to work for it.

No matter how well business was doing, nothing was ever to be taken for granted. It’s a lesson that Peter Babich has never forgotten. In fact, even in his 80s, he’s still chopping his own firewood. He could probably get someone to do it for him, but it’s a good reminder of what it has taken to build such a successful business – rolling up your sleeves and getting the job done.
