"If I bought Amazon, Microsoft and Starbucks, I wouldn't have to work so hard today." At the time, Microsoft's stock price was $2.35 per share, adjusted for any stock splits or dividends. Today, the company's shares are trading at $334.21 apiece, more than 142 times the price 30 years ago. Similarly, Starbucks, which went public in 1992, was trading at just 74 cents per share when Rodriguez signed his first contract. An investment of only $1,000 at the time would be worth more than $1.7 million today.

It felt particularly important for Rodriguez, whose father left his family when he was 10 years old. It can help relieve anxiety, teach that no one is perfect and model the good behavior of taking responsibility for your actions. It's unrealistic to expect your children to never make mistakes, Rodriguez adds: If his daughters never messed up, he'd worry "they're not pushing hard enough."
