Spewing Chunks Into a Twinkling Sea

A funny story about my wife… 

As you read this I’m in my last few days of our Euro summer trip.

There will have been twinkling seas, swanky ports, and crystal clear lakes. 

And I guarantee you my wife will not set foot on a boat in any of them. 

Not because she’s scared of the water…

She’ll swim, scuba, and waterslide along with the rest of us. 

But boats?

Turns out, being ‘on’ water is very different to being ‘in’ water. 

In our 20 years together…

She has puked on fishing boats in North America. 

She has puked on sailboats in the Caribbean. 

She has puked on speedboats in the Med. 

And this year, it turns out, she has puked enough. 

I tried and failed to persuade her. 

Me: “But what about when we’re in the Italian Lakes? You’ve got to go on a swanky speedboat and pretend to be George Clooney there?!” 

Her: “Nothing is swanky when you’re spewing chunks bab.”

Quite. 

And a useful reminder. 

See, in life and in this game, it is easy to get dragged along…

You see other folks doing something and you feel the pressure. 

Jimi is doing social media ads, so should I.

Joe is going networking, so should I.

Johnny is offering new services, so should I.

But here’s a liberating truth about this game….

Y-O-U don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. 

See, when you run your own business, every choice sits with you. 

And whilst this is a heavy burden to carry, it also gives you ultimate freedom in this game. 

You’re not playing this game for Jimi, Joe or any other bit part. 

In this game, there are only two players you care about…

You and your family. 

So, don’t like networking? 

Don’t do it.

Don’t like social media?

Don’t do it. 

Don’t like boats of any variety?  

Say ‘never again’ to spewing chunks into a twinkling sea. 

Until next time.
