I’ve heard it said that you don’t really grow up until you lose both parents.
I don’t know if I agree with that wholesale,
but on some level there is a grain of truth. Maybe more…

Turning 62 last summer I realized some things never change.

At least not for me. How about you?

Namely:

• I’m still trying to grow up. It baffles me, since for me anywho, I have been on an endless marathon of self-help.
• It’s a disease, an affliction, an obsession. It’s bigger than me.
• I’ve had over my years on this spinning planet, critics and nay-sayers. I’ve managed to create a moat around my castle and most of these attacks don’t get in.
  
• Not sure why anyone would diss the idea behind non-stop attempts at self-help.

But, there they are…..there.

I learn from them, mostly how to ignore them, grow a pair and become immune to the critics.

Truth is, life is hard. It’s mostly one shit-show after another. And trying our best to
prepare and plan and survive.

Keep on running the race. This one. Message: Life goes on. Business goes on.

And I keep learning. And sharing. And profiting.

Goals…here’s an excerpt from Grant Cardone’s book, “Be Obsessed or Be Average”:

“Goals are not a New Year’s resolution or a journal entry or a bumper sticker; they are critical to life’s happiness and fulfillment.
I can’t stress this enough. Don’t write down goals on a post it note and look them once in while. Eat. Sleep, and breathe you goals. Not just because you “should”, but because you can’t not.

Feed the beast so that it becomes so powerful there is no room for doubt. Wake up and go to sleep focusing on your goals. Write them down every morning and read them at night before sleep until they become a part of you…. the moment you quit this practice, you will find yourself falling into the repetitive cycle of work without purpose…”

Which is an excellent read.

Or, you can access the PDF summary I’ve created for my supporters.

Every time I read a book with valuable ideas and strategies I create a summary. That list of summaries for members is growing.

I personally have them printed out, and read them everyday. And you could too!

I’ve made it so easy for you…….

I am not a good photographer. Also, I am not a good public speaker. I used to be really, really bad in fact.

Before Tina teamed up with me on this crazy adventure called photography, she was a well educated and qualified certified accountant.

She still is. But 25+ years wiser and experienced.

Last Thursday, April 8, 2021 we had Erin Hernandez- Reisner join us on our weekly NoBs Photo buzz livestream.

And what a journey it was.
Words can’t possibly explain the journey we went on and the back alleys we explored.
Down the rabbit hole, watch, listen to the replay HERE
The artist’s journey isn’t always a bed of roses, rainbows and sunshine.

It’s often the struggles that define the journey.

Enjoy,

Yours in success, Rob
