THE ROCKY STORY
Tony Robbins Tells Rocky Story Www.rockysdream.com - The top video clips of the week are here
ON A Personal Note!
Ok So IF You Have Known me for a over a year, you know that last year I was super GUNG HO
about 2008 and getting ready for 2008 and success in 2008…I mean I was PUMPED.
I had just finished moving to Miami Beach and was really going to blow up the REO BPO Business Down there by doing BULK BPO REO Business with investors and banks that I had already lined up.
Well it all FELL Apart because on January 5th 2008 my DAD was admitted by Helicopter from Deland, FL to SHANDS Medical Center in Gainesville, FL for a Type 3 Aortic Dissection. Which in laymans terms is a tear in his aorta. And this tear went from his aorta to his kidneys.
Things didn’t look so good for him and little did I know that they would actually worsen.
Now my DAD was only 20 years older me at 54 he just had had his birthday on 12/30/2007…so all of this was a huge shock…and my DAD and I were super close. My family and me had one of the best Christmases EVER in 2007. Thankfully!
Anyways to make a long story short 2008 WAS THE WORST YEAR IN MY LIFE
I had to go into scary unknown, unchartered territory. I had to put everything on hold and MOVE TO DELAND, FL and help my MOM finish rebuilding my parents main source of income, their Dunkin Donuts Franchises. Because my DAD got sick and went into a coma the project had ceased.
This store was being rebuilt because in February of 2007 it got hit with a tornado. IF you don’t believe me Google “deland tornado” I know right…what a string of BAD Luck.
So I had to get this Project back on track…because this was a huge money maker for my folks and the hosital bills were racking up like you wouldn’t believe.
So the project had been stopped for weeks delaying everything. And I had to get it back on track…
Never Ever having done anything like this totally a NEW BEAST for me. If I failed then everything crumbled even more.
The POINT is I had some dark days in 2008 and you know what I AM STILL HERE and I am not giving up NO MATTER WHAT.
And I want you to know that I feel any pains you have gone through in 2008…I am so, so with you…Because I truly understand the pains of life, BUT…
I ALSO UNDERSTAND THE REWARDS OF VICTORY TOO…And those come when you NEVER GIVE UP!
So Don’t Give Up on Yourself…If things aren’t working out find a new way you can do it…you can make it.
I did, I survived the world coming down on me the first half of 2008 and I perservered and made it through.
Unfortunately my DAD didn’t but now I understand why and know he is always with me.
Stay Strong and Appreciate The Great Things You Have.
I Wish You Rocky Balboa Success for 2009
Stay Strong…Hope You Enjoyed The Rocky Story!
