Just archiving some 'old' pictures as I was putting the finishing touches to my new Fatherhood Biz Course web page (shameless plug: do take a look, link in the comments) (!) and I found this one of my littlest man from 6 years ago! Wow, he was the fastest growing baby I have ever seen. He still likes to be picked up like this all these years later… It just takes a heck more strength now to do so than it did then 💪 💪 💪 Anyway, I was telling him about how we had to take pictures with a camera 📷 back in the old days, and that you had to put a roll of film in the camera, and then and then get that developed before you could see the pictures. He looked perplexed and said ‘where did you put the film in the computer then. I can get my pictures really fast!”, and then proceeded to show me his graphics and photo folders, “it doesn’t take long at all!” OK, I felt outdated, but I had to laugh 😉 Such is progress…anyone else here remember pen and paper 🖋️ ?
My love for my son! It's time to leave the desk behind and clear the furniture from the living room for some intense home workout time with my son! He is 6ft 8ins tall, and I am three times his age (ahem…#oldman ) so I have my work cut out with his kicking and punching on the🥊 strike pads! Talk about pushing through the pain! Okay, it’s not all bad - at nearly 60 years of age, I can still sprint 100m under 11 secs, so I can still just about outrun him 🏃 – but I am looking forward to seeing him outrun me, which will happen anytime now...with pride! We have exercised together since he was 5 years old, and it’s been so worth it, to have seen him grow into a great athlete, and more importantly to have seen him grow into a wonderful guy who I am honored to call son. Exercising together has always been a great bonding time that we have always cherished. We compete hard with each other, especially when we play we play football ⚽ ⚽ ⚽ (#COYS), but never do we ever cross the line and become sore losers 👿. When I was growing up, my father took joy in beating me in every game or sport, in a hyper competitive way; but I never showed him how upset I was that I didn’t win. When I grew up, and started winning, he stopped playing with me and my relationship with him deteriorated as I lot respect for him. A real Dad’s job is to win sometimes, to ease off when necessary, to lose with a smile on his face, and then watch with joy as his children become bigger, stronger, faster, and cleverer than him (my children could never be happier than me, we’ll call that a tie…). A dad must at some stage yield control and defer to his children as they mature into better versions of himself, with grace and encouragement from his heart. 💖 💖 💖 After every time we exercise together, my son and I hug, say ‘Namaste’, and I see in his eyes that he knows I give him my all (no matter how much my knees ache…) and that every minute I have with him enriches my very heart and soul…and he loves me more for it. From the pain of exercise to joy in my heart, I am more thankful for my son every minute of everyday. What a wonderful investment time is paying dividends in love ✨✨✨
Formal days are rare for me these days, running a home office and a fatherhood biz uniform is usually sports gear. But sometimes even I have no choice but to dust off the to dust off a whistle and flute and take it for a spin to a meeting. It does make a nice change, at least, so I thought, until, ass my 6-year-old put it: “ Dad, you look nice, just like a man on TV…he’s nice too!!” I didn’t know which man one he meant (I dared not ask)…any guesses? In the past I ran a law practice where I wore what I wanted when I wanted. It never costs me any client business that I wouldn’t have wanted anyway! I was good at what I did. You can get the job done your way and take control of your own life. If you do the best job that you can do, people will find you, give you their trust, and ultimately their business. That is the joy of running your own business! Just be true to what yourself - you’ll feel more comfortable in your own skin, confident and authentic, whatever your style, just get the job done. Enjoy your week people! #fatherhoodbizgram
