Establishing and maintaining a proper work-life balance has been a challenge for Baltimore-based Cornwell Tools dealer Rick Huether at times during his career. His entrepreneurial spirit has led him to get involved in a number of business ventures over the years, and he eventually found it was difficult for him to push aside his responsibilities and take some time for rest and rejuvenation. Even now, as the sole owner and operator of his own tool business, he says embracing time away from the route remains a work in progress for him.
“After all these years, I’m really learning how to understand how to take vacations,” says Huether. “I know some guys who take a vacation (every few months). They come back refreshed, but I’m still learning how to do that.”
