Child Gives Mom and Dad The Finger And Leaves Home

Believe it or not, that child is me 3 years ago.

At that time I was already highly passionate about marketing and envisioned a future different from the one my parents wanted for me to have.

It happened soon after I read Robert Kiyosaki’s “Rich Dad Poor Dad”, the book that completely shifted my philosophy and later my life. Looking back at this incident, I can’t say that I’m proud of what I did, but now I realize that it was a necessary step for me to take.

Ever since I was a child I was always respective of authority in general and my parents in particular. My father was my role model and now I realize that nearly everything I did was to get his approval.

Although I love my father, he’s far from being the best role model for a child. He had drinking problems, explosive character, addicted to cigarettes and very complicated person. And with all his dysfunctions, I still love him very much because he’s my dad.

However, my love and affection for my father weren’t enough to justify my “blindness” for all these years when I used to believe that a diploma or a degree of some kind will open the flood gates to a better life. After reading Kiyosaki, I realized that I was misled for all these years and that a major shift had to occur soon in my life before it’s too late.

This incident served its purpose, it helped me mature and now, 3 years later I have a perfect relationship with my parents AND I work from home full time, being able to give my Mom and Dad a hand whenever they need me.

And my father… My father is the first one to support me when I come up with a new idea for a product or roll out a new marketing campaign. He’s always there for me and I’m always there for him.

You can say that my life has transformed. My vision came true. And for that I thank you, my reader, subscriber, client and friend. I couldn’t do that if it weren’t for you. Thank You!
