After my last post about being prepared for the market reaction to an emergency, that makes the national news, I was hit with my own personal family emergency. It didn’t make the national news…

As I went from emergency mode to the new normal, trying to adapt to the situation personally and professionally, I tried to get back to blogging as usual. I take my duty to you and this blog very seriously and when I write something for you, I want it to be of value to you. That takes time. Finding the time that I used to be able to find, in order to do this work, has been difficult. So I started to write and then something came up, so I saved a draft. Then I started to write another post and something else came up, another draft… Time after time…

Writing the perfect blog post takes time. In an emergency, you don’t have time. So I haven’t written the perfect blog post yet. No one has…

I can’t tell you how many drafts I have written, trying to get back to normal. Life will never get back to normal. Not the way it was. Life has changed. I have to learn to adapt to the new normal.

Over time as I looked back at my last post and wrote, what I thought was going to be the next post. I kept looking at how the market reacts to a national emergency and how we adapt to a personal emergency. There is the full out emergency response, the pull back and then we adapt to the new normal…

If you look at your life and watch how the people around you react to events, you will learn how the big guys in the big markets react. This is so simple, yet so complex. Let me explain here so you can see…

I usually get about this far in my draft and then try to tell you everything you need to know for your next personal emergency, all in one blog post! I want you to know how to deal with personal emergencies and professional emergencies as well as the next national emergency.

There is so much to tell you. So little time to write the perfect blog…

Perfection is the enemy of progress, so I will officially end my quest for the perfect blog post here and now and I will work to serve you better with a little more frequent “imperfection” in the future, as we learn to deal with life and the markets.

So let me leave you here for now and work to give you the same quality information as before in smaller bites, more frequently. I hope this serves you better.

Remember, as you watch me, you are watching a person, a professional and a business. Here you get an honest and open look at the things I do right and the things I do wrong. That is what I have to offer you. See the business mistakes I have made, think of how they apply to the people you know and the businesses you invest in. Watch, learn, plan and adapt so you can do better…

So today, I am writing to you to apologize for the long delay and my unsuccessful attempts to adapt to the new normal. I will try to move forward with good quality posts for you, posts that may not be perfect, but may just be good enough to help you get through your day a little easier as well as help you understand the markets we live in a little better…

Damn… I really want to rewrite this to make it better. “More perfect”. This is really hard…

Thanks for staying with me through this, as we learn to navigate the waters ahead together, I will work to do a better job for you…
