Yesterday I told you that Lisa and I went to Phoenix last week, as I was scheduled to speak to over 500 industry professionals at Joe Polish’s Rich Cleaner Conference.

I also told you that we took Brock along with us.

What I didn’t tell you was that we were completely unprepared for what would happen.

The last time we took Brock on a trip like this was when he was 3 months old, and everything went great.

But…

Now that he’s 6 months old, things are a little bit different.

We were in Phoenix for 6 days, and by day 2 of our journey, Brock was getting bored, restless, and needing a whole lot of personal attention.

You see, when we’re at home, he has all kinds of toys to entertain him.

He also has a bouncer, a walker and a swing, which he makes full use of on a daily basis.

And now, being put in a position where he was without these luxuries, he was NOT a happy camper.

Lisa ended up having to carry him for almost the entire week, and as you can imagine, this really took its toll on her body.

Especially since Brock has been growing so much.

And just in case you’re wondering, no, we didn’t even think to take a stroller with us either.

How crazy is THAT.

For me, being a first time parent is full of surprises, and yes, I’ve been making plenty of mistakes as a new dad.

I thank God for Lisa on a daily basis.

Since she’s already raised 4 kids, she’s much more versed in this whole parenting role than I am, which is a HUGE blessing to me.

But even at that, Kaitlynn (the youngest) is getting ready to turn 16, so it’s been awhile since Lisa had babies running around, so she re-learning a lot of things herself.

Sometimes I get frustrated with myself for all the parenting mistakes I make, and I have to remember that this is a learning process, and making mistakes is the way we learn.

This is a lesson I discovered years ago in my business as well.

While most business owners think that making mistakes is a bad thing, I understand that mistakes are actually a GOOD thing – as long as we learn from those mistakes.

Fortunately for me, I also discovered that the best way to avoid most mistakes is to find a mentor who’s already been there and done that.

As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve been putting together a brand new video for you, and let me tell you, this is something that you won’t want to miss.

I don’t know where you’re at in your life right now…

You might be afraid of what you hear in the media.

You might be wondering about the security of your own job.

You might be losing major coin in the stock market.

Or…

Maybe things aren’t so bad for you right now, but you’re hearing so much doom and gloom in the media out there that you’re concerned that things might get rough in the coming months or years, and you want to know what you can do about it starting right now.

Either way, this new video is going to be just the ticket you’ve been looking for, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Be sure to watch for my upcoming announcement.

I’ll let you know as soon as it’s ready.

Dedicated to your success,
Kevin Thompson
