As you can tell by the image, I am ready to be completely transparent with you all.

Things are not good. Each month, my wife and I are in the hole deeper than the month before. We have had medical expenses in the past few months that have really taken us off our normal routine and they are consuming us. I am also dealing with corporate taxes right now (due next Monday) with a new bookkeeper and a new accountant. We are also dealing with a refinance on our home (5-year balloon due early next year), which we did not expect to be in this long. Add on top of that everything that is happening at Rich Dad right now (the impending buy-out, new web site architecture due on 28 October, and many, many other projects that are just as important), and you have a recipe for depression, anxiety, and despair.

On the good side, I have never had so many opportunities for business and personal growth in my life. I am learning how to be a television and film producer from our in-house expert, Richard Taylor. I have several opportunities to expand my business outside of Rich Dad that could be huge depending on how they go. I am ready to launch a documentary series on the health and fitness process I have been going through since May of this year. My kids are doing incredibly well in school and their extracurricular activities. My wife is pursuing her passion by volunteering at a local restaurant, just so she can learn from them. Robert wants me to be the designated teacher for Rich Dad Education. Etc, etc, etc.

So, what is wrong with this picture? Robert mentioned yesterday a story from R. Buckminster Fuller who said to himself in 1927, I am going to stop working for money and do what God intended me to do. In focusing on my purpose, the money should follow…and it did. Robert made the same decision in 1980…and it worked for him as well. Is that what I need to do? Am I focusing too hard on the money? Am I attracting more of what I don’t want?
