When Dan Korhorn started Pathway Financial, balance didn’t exist.

“People would say, ‘You’re always working.’
I was out the door by 8:00, home at 9:00, working weekends.
But that’s what it took to build a business.”

Now with three locations and a thriving tax practice, Dan shares how he finally found equilibrium — closing Fridays in summer to give his team and family what really matters: time.
