Forgive me father for I have sinned, it’s been over a month since my last blog post.  A lot of things happened this month, some good while other where bad.  In fact it’s safe to say, I had one of the worst months in my life, both personally and professionally.

A deal which I had with one of my partners turned out sour, he was not the man I believed he was and turned out to be more greedy and un-appreciative than I could ever imagined.  I knew this could happen on a lot of levels, but I didn’t act quickly enough so ultimately I blame myself for what happened.  I had a pet snake for a long time and once I didn’t handle it correctly and it bit me.  I couldn’t get angry at the snake, cos that’s what snakes do, It was my fault I wasn’t careful as I should have been.

Someone very close to me almost went out of business and it took a lot of energy to help that person get back on track and gain focus.  It was especially hard since I was going through a lot of turmoil myself however it was good to stop me from sulking and feel sorry for myself and power through.  I’m happy to say that this person’s business is now and track and I feel proud and happy that now they’re bigger and better than ever.

The same goes for me, this hard month was probably the best thing that could have happened to me both personally and professionally.  On some level I got over confident about my success and I lost focus.  I wasn’t working as hard as I know I could’ve and I got complacent.  The same thing happens to a lot of successful people, including businessmen, performers and athletes.  

Mike Tyson lost the championship belt not because Buster Douglas was a better athlete, Mike Tyson got complacent and didn’t train hard enough because he thought he was the best in the world and no one could beat him.  He wasn’t hungry for the title anymore.

Lesson learned.

It’s the worse thing that could’ve happened but it’s also the best thing.  Instead of just working I had the time to stop what I was doing and go back to the drawing board.

I want to thank all readers who kept visiting the site and messaging me to write more.  You guys Rox!! I will not let you down.

I’m gonna close of this somewhat personal post with a quote from the movie Balboa.

The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!
