This was a blog post I made on the Warrior Forum a little while back. I got no comments or feedback on it, and very few views, so I just thought I’d use the content here, by posting it on MY blog instead:

 

I hadn’t seen it coming. His midget hand landed perfectly, square between my legs, catching one of my crown jewels with his miniscule fist.

I jerked my legs closed, winced in pain and took a moment to catch my breath as my girl friend’s five year old brother laughed with glee and delight at my apparent pain and discomfort.

What crime was I being punished for?

I hadn’t been paying him any attention. I’d been talking to my girl friend and her mother whilst getting myself a drink. I had acknowledged her brother (who is half my size) but I had ignored his pleas to join him in a game of “bricks and dinosaurs”.

I got distracted and lost my focus. I ignored the barrage of punch combinations the little monkey had managed to land on my legs and lower stomach. I hadn’t identified any of it as a threat and thus my defenses were nonexistent when it came to the young rapscallion’s version of “the nutcracker”.

And this is exactly what I have been doing in business, and it is exactly the same thing that some of my friends and business partners have been doing as well. We’ve been looking the other way, focussing on other things, spreading ourselves too thin, not looking down and exposing ourselves to a smack in the balls! And believe me, that IS painful.

I have invested my time, energy, money and concentration into too many ventures opportunities and ideas and I have neglected some of the things I was once good at, or at the very least enjoyed!

I have been looking the other way, and in doing so I have over-spent, over-stretched and not focussed on the things I enjoy the most and that have seen me make good returns.

So I have decided to distance myself and cut off from some of the projects I have been working on, and work on a core of three projects at the most of anyone time. This is still a little much, but is partly down to obligations I have to fulfill on current projects and once that is out of the way, I will re-evaluate my position.

So here is the beginning of that transition. I am starting blogging again, and for the first time ever, shall be doing so in the Internet marketing/business field. I am going to document my business and lifestyle choices and I shall be updating the readers on my five year plan towards my dream offline business and financial freedom.

At this point, I am not sure who would or will be interested in this. If nothing else though, it might serve as an interesting read for me in the future, or my children and grandchildren.

Anyway, if you want to get avoid getting kicked in the balls metaphorically and literally, then my blog may well be the blog for you!
