We used to have this saying - Goat Cheese!! ( instead of oh jeez). So Goat Cheese, we finished up 2010 with a bang! Since 2008, BMP has been growing steadily and took off this year when I had the gift of quitting my parole officer job of 15 years to work it full time. It was a rough time of my life a year ago, when my job was not where I wanted to be in life. It was less of what I wanted in my life and I felt my self respect and worthiness on the line. Looking back, its funny to see the things we do to our lives when we are not in a happy place. I drive by this bar I used to go to lots and now know that it was to escape my depression. Today I don't attend there on weekends as I see it as a step backwards. So after a great time in Barona Resorts / Kelowna, I did some serious soul searching and business research and goal seeking. Thanks to Carolyn Collin who is working on her life coach business, recommended a book for me - The flight plan - by Brian Tracy. He was able to take my cocktail dreams and turn them into reality. My biggest accomplishment I did in my life was to give my notice to my employer, not out of anger, but out of bravery and courage. To accomplish this is the biggest rush of achievement one can do. I left with the faith that I needed to make money in a few months after I left, of which has been happening by the grace of God. I was literally in the depths of hell and have risen which makes this a great Christmas!
Our received our UPS confirmation that MJ2 is on her way from Chicago. Thank goodness because I was trying to figure out how to juggle setting up for Derks Wedding show, get to Red Deer for a booth show, get back to Derks wedding show in Edmonton the next morning, and get to a Party for a hotel that night. Its all about BE DO HAVE right? I am thankful for the relationships of very cool people I have made in the event industry so far. Like any place, there is genuine people and I know them and appreciate them for their interdependence.
My family is supportive with their compliments and pats on the back. My wife was huge in supporting me to quit my job and go penniless initially. I owe her that much some day. My boys in their own way, make me feel good about the business and am thankful to their words. I hope one of them can take it over in years ahead.
So now I leave and finish up my Christmas preparations. Of course its a symbolic celebration and should be a big party because Jesus Christ did come to earth to save the planet. We should be concerned if it ever does not become a party. So love everyone as a goal and to peace goodwill towards men! Love me!
