I had been up exactly 37 minutes to-day before the first row with my daughter. They used to be called discussions, but as neither of us knows how to talk sensibly to each other any-more. There not rows exactly, … not full blown rows anyways. But certainly heated exchanges. Lucky really, cos the first 30minutes of the day I was in the shower. Easing my arthritic joints and muscular spasms.
It was during this newest debate that I said “You might consider not coming to mine and my sons B,B,Q in a couple of weeks. She blurted out “That’s funny dad she said cos her brother was glad I was not at the family B,B,Q this weekend!!”…
I of course was put out and wanted to know which son said it??... I didn’t think I was a bad dad and told her “well miss smarty pants just remember who stuck around when your mum buggered off when you were just 8 years old!!...” Claire of course replied with…”why didn`t you go as well??”...
I `m sure we can work all this out when people have thought it through…”I know when she said it I could have phoned him… and demanded an explanation there and then”!!… Thank god the phone cant call mobiles.
These are all just lessons…life lessons…but there also great marketing lessons!!...
If your prospects don’t like what you’re telling them…”They won’t become loyal customers…repeat loyal customers”!!...
All this stuff reminds me that I keep telling my daughter “Do something positive…with your life”. Multiple streams of income are good. But not necessarily from three failed relationship’s…and the government”??...
It was after this that I came down stairs and I started to think about why my son said that very hurtful thing??...I really don’t know…but I will have to find out??...
So all this ill feeling has made me takes stock of what I’ve achieved…since that fatefull accident 3 years ago…I mean before that I th…
Actually up to this very morning I thought id done a good job bringing up the kids for 10 years and beyond. I thought we all had pretty good relationships (mine and Claire’s is sometimes frautfull because of the lack of funds for shopping and stuff) … She thinks she shouldn’t help out so much??...
But apart from that I thought we were all on an even keel!!... Any ways so if you know a cure “For a bad dad”… I’m interested??...
So what have I achieved then??...
Bugger all in a word…O.K. “2 WORDS!!”...
Its goes something like this…
1/…I’ve more down loadable stuff on my computer than “Microsoft!!”...
(Most of which I don’t know what it is??... Where it came from??... or indeed how it’s going to help me achieve my desires??)…
2/…I’ve more manuals p.d.f `s and e-books than the “British Library!!”...
3/…And as Armond Morin calls them “More shiny metal objects than “The Royal Mint!!”...
4/…All this stuff as it might seem was a good idea at the time??... And of course that’s not including the thousands…tens of thousands of dollars of seminar and meeting costs. Then there’s the airport hotels…the food??...
I could go on and on …but you get the picture…Right??...
No it’s not wasted money!!...It`s money well spent on my education!!...
But what my daughter wants to know is how much has come out of this kitchen table home use money pump??... That takes just ten minutes to set up!!… Can be run on complete autopilot even whilst you sleep!!... Even using a laptop from a hotel balcony overlooking palm tress the deepest bluest ocean you’ve ever seen!!...
And it will bring in the big bucks that stand proud on your bank statement like the digits in your mobile phone number!!... And all this will happen faster than a down hill speed skating Olympian!!...
To day she said “How much have you made then…considering your at that laptop or that home pc for about ten hours most days…then dad. Whats your usefull thing bought in then??”...
The honest answer is “NOT A SINGLE BEAN”!!...
“YET”.
But at least I am taking action..."Corrie,East-Enders, Holby City, and all the rest of the stuff on 100 and whatever channels of drivvel...sorry t.v will still be there tommorrow??...
Till the next time. ...
"May your success be far more than you expected!"
David.
