Dad at 72 decided to forgo retirement after receiving praise from the media for assisting his daughter’s small business venture.
Niki Allworth, a 40-year-old entrepreneur, owns Adornmonde, a family-run jewelry company. Her father, Mick, has been by her side every step of the way.
In a video posted on TikTok, Mick is seen diligently working on his laptop as texts appear on the screen, accompanied by the caption “and the employee of the month award goes to…”
Since the video was posted on April 28, it has garnered over 123,000 likes. Commenters have expressed gratitude to Mick, with one mentioning how amazing it is to have a great dad.
Allworth revealed that her father, despite her encouragement to rest, always returns to work. Since Adornmonde’s establishment in 2008, Mick has taken on various roles within the company, driving its growth.
Despite being on vacation with their children, Mick continued working late into the night, showing his dedication. This commitment was highlighted in the viral video.
Allworth shared that Mick’s unexpected promise to get his ears pierced if the TikTok account reached 100,000 subscribers was a hit. She mentioned they plan on a Bali vacation for some much-needed rest, although Mick is likely to bring his laptop along.
For family businesses like Adornmonde, seeking external assistance can be beneficial, especially when specific skills or additional support are required for growth.
Allworth commended her father’s unwavering support and expressed her gratitude, hoping to reciprocate his efforts someday.
