A short synopsis of Smith Trucking's 80-year history was featured on today's front page of The Globe. Thank you for choosing us to be one of the featured families in your "The American Dream" series. What Mike says at the end is really what it's all been about.
βI think weβve achieved the American Dream of being able to work hard and achieve success, experience failure, and have the ability to come back from that,β Mike shared. βItβs done through working with good people, smart people, caring people.β
Success is never guaranteed, he added, whether someone is in business for eight months or 80 years.
βYou always have to work hard and work through adversity every day,β he said. βWeβve tried to make sure that we honor God through our business and have always been taught by our parents that we are just stewards of our business; we are not the owners.
βWe want to use our business to achieve what God wants through us,β he added.
