As you know we’ve got some building work going on at the moment, in fact the first house will be finished in a little over four weeks!<\/p>\n
I can’t believe we’re nearing the end of part one now, part two is only a month or so behind it.<\/p>\n
They’re looking great, and my bank balance is looking low.<\/p>\n
But I’ve become good friends with the owner of the building company we’re using, and he gave me a lift to pick up our car from the garage today.<\/p>\n
On the way we went via the builders merchants to pick up some large specialist bricks.<\/p>\n
I stood one foot either side, bent at the knees (as is proper),\u00a0grabbed this large brick in both hands, lifted it up and…<\/p>\n
…completely forgot the height of it as it grazed my balls.<\/em><\/p>\n I’m not gonna lie, it hurt.<\/p>\n What hurt even more was the group of people laughing at me as I did it. It turns out that everyone does this the first time they lift up one of these bricks, and they’d simply been waiting for it to happen to me.<\/p>\n Bastards.<\/p>\n Anyhoo, I’m used to a little bit of pain.<\/p>\n Because that’s what you get when you start a business.<\/p>\n It may be something that you’re feeling right now if things aren’t going your way.<\/p>\n But here’s what I’ve learned…<\/p>\n You don’t make the same mistake twice. I may have scraped my balls once, but I won’t do it again.<\/p>\n You may make a mistake with traffic, copywriting, outsourcing or another element of your business. But once you’ve made it once, you won’t do it again and that’s how you get better!<\/i><\/p>\n Michael<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As you know we’ve got some building work going on at the moment, in fact the first house will be finished in a little over four weeks!\nI can’t believe we’re nearing the end of part one now, part two is only a month or so behind it.\nThey’re looking great, and …<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3017,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[229,8,198],"tags":[189],"location":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3016"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3016"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3016\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3016"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3016"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=3016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
