Personal foul or personal vendetta?

Sitting back in my favorite chair watching 60 Minutes, a staple of every Sunday evening in our home, I watched a disturbing interview with the ex-NBA referee brought down for betting on NBA games while officiating.

Gambling. A sickness. I get it.

What disgusted me even more was the behind the scenes glimpse at officiating in the NBA. Granted, I don’t know how much credence to give a ‘rogue referee’ whose ‘poor choices’ got him ex-communicated, but it did make me think about the calls seemingly missed by the officials and how ‘certain’ superstars earn the teflon treatment while others regardless of their length of time in the league do not?

As a long-time fan of the game, I enjoy watching a series where the underdog manages to beat ‘Goliath’ instead of watching a series unnecessarily extended so the big market teams could advance and the NBA could make more money. Why not script every game? Wouldn’t that produce the desired results?

What if you and a group of your co-workers collaborated to teach a customer a lesson because you didn’t like how they spoke to you? Now I am not defending bad manners because no one should ever be disrespected for performing their job. On the other hand, I suppose it’s really hard to be polite when speaking to a ref who watches you get hacked up and down the court and does nothing about it. How can you enjoy the game when personal fouls become personal vendettas?

It’s a good thing corporate America doesn’t play by the same rules as the NBA or do they?

When you just can’t work at home

One thing can be a real deterrent to your success online is when your family is not behind what you’re doing. Ok, maybe it’s not that they’re against what you’re doing but they cannot see any value in it. After all, are you making any money doing it? You’re always on the computer! Why exactly do you spend so much time on the internet, what are you doing? If you’re not making any money from the business, why are you spending money? How much money did you spend on your business so we can deduct that when we file our taxes? How much longer will you stay with it before you quit? They say internet businesses are a scam, nobody makes money doing that. Why so many conference calls if you don’t have any money coming in? I’m going to the store, do you need anything? The game comes on in 10 minutes, are you planning to watch it? I’ve been thinking of painting this room, what color do you think I should go with? You haven’t been on the internet for over a week, are you feeling ok? Did you hear that AI left the Grizzlies? YOU have a blog? I know you’re busy, but you gotta come here and see what this guy on tv is doing.

Sometimes I just want to pull my hair out strand by strand.

Now I don’t believe for one minute that my spouse does not want to see me succeed online. After all, if I win, he wins, right? I also don’t believe that I am the only internet marketer that runs into this.

So tell me, how do you get your family members to understand that building a business online requires your time and in most cases, your money too?

Invite them to join you?

Ask for their help?

Get up 3 hours early every day (weekends too) so you can get some uninterrupted work done before you leave for the office?

Explain and apologize for the fact that what you’re trying to do requires some of your time on a daily basis (hopefully, without interruption) after which I will be glad to watch the game with you?

Forget about it, I give up!

If you think I am going to end this post with the perfect answer to the problem, I’m not.

This is where you come in.

Your thoughts?

To Your Blogging Success!
