The video below is a follow up my last post titled “I’m Divorcing Google…” and it clarifies a few things many people seemed to have missed.
The underlying reasoning behind the story has a lesson in it.

I married her about 4 years ago.
At first, she made it really hard for me to understand her. Basically, she was taking my money and giving me nothing in return. It was her way of telling me I had to pay my dues to gain her loyalty to what I so desperately wanted from her.
Then one day, it happened. She started being kind to me and that’s when I feel in love.
We started having some insanely wonderful days together. She was giving me all I wanted and more. As a matter of fact, she had so much to give that I couldn’t keep up with all she had to offer.
So I decided to marry her and engulf myself in everything she was about. I wanted to know everything there was to know about her because our relationship was producing some outstanding results.
And for nearly two years, we had a great marriage. I made her happy and she made me happy. She made me very, very happy. I remember days waking up to check with her and I would be blown away at how lucky I was to have her in my life.
Then one dreaded day in December 2009, she pushed me out. With no explanation, no warning, no nothing. She wanted me gone and I was devastated.
Since things had been going so great, I had to figure out a way to fix things. Eventually I would figure out a way to get back in her good graces, only to be pushed out again. That happened several times before I said enough is enough.
So I started seeing others and I quickly found out that there were plenty of them who wanted to give me what I needed. And they didn’t make it nearly has hard as she did.
We still talk from time to time though. But things are different now because I realized that I didn’t need her as much as I thought I did.
So after many months going back and forth with her and trying to play her games so I could still get what I needed from her, I have decided to move on with my life.
I will still communicate with her on a regular basis because we are tied to each other through other relationships, but no longer will I try so hard to be in her life.
For all the reasons stated above, I’m no longer going to use Google’s name in reference to my expertise. I’m so much more than a Google Adwords expert thanks to her.
Because she pushed me out and forced me to look for alternatives, it made me learn so much more and allowed me to become the man I am today.
So thanks Google for pushing me in the direction I’m going today.
In this video, I talk about the illness that almost killed meĀ and how I used it to take action on my passion.
The video is actually a snippet of a presentation I gave to my mastermind group. One of the attendees asked me how did I find the time to learn all this internet marketing stuff. That is how I ended up telling my story.
Some of my peers convinced me that I should tell my story from now on because of its genuine nature and said it was an inspiration for them. I was actually quite flattered by their sincere remarks.
I am sharing this video and my story because maybe it will inspire someone else.
